If Yamaha saves significant Vocal Harmony improvements for Tyros, I will revert to Korg. I had hoped S950 was going to be my do it all keyboard but the VH2 was apparently an afterthought. I managed to make the S750 work with my Digitech Vocalist 4 and have been happy with that combination.

Recently bought a small Digitech Desktop unit which fits nicely on the keyboard speaker and does midi unlike my my floor pedal V4 which needs to be set to key. This unit gives me onboard harmony capability and the freedom of midi generated harmony. Unfortunately, it is still not the answer as the Yamaha has no dedicated microphone input. This means I can't add equalization to mellow out the treble sound I get when using this unit with my Yamaha.

This Desktop unit works fine with my Korg PA 80 which has a dedicated microphone input. In essence, my quest for the perfect Harmony situation while singing with my keyboards remains ongoing. Hate to add an additional piece of equipment but perhaps a small mixer inputting the harmonizer signal into the Yamaha keyboard might help.

I see Tyros and PAX/3 as home or studio use keyboards. To not put a quality vocal harmonizer into a MOTL arranger two enliven vocal performances by people like Gary, Donny, Don Mason, Tony and myself is a backward step for a quality company like Yamaha.

God Bless,
