I loaned Bill a pa system for a show he put on Friday night. He had an excellent harmonica player and world-class fiddle player. They did mostly Bill's originals, plus a tribute to Hank Williams, I, II and III.
Great music, great barbeque!

Don, thanks for the informative Midjay review. It sounds like it has some nice benefits, but after just draining my wallet for Tyros2, it may be a while. - Scott

Don:

Thanks for taking all the trouble to provide that great review of Hank's Midjay. I can readily see where it will benefit a performing keyboard player. Are there potential uses or benefits for an ordinary songwriter with a Yammie 2000 or Tyros?

My partner Mike tells me that he believes the 2000 has better vocal harmonizer capabilities than the Tyros I. Do you have an opinion that might confirm or deny this?

BTW, approx how much did Hank's Midjay cost?

Thanks again,

Rice

Rice, I believe, having owned both, that the Tyros Vocal Harmonizer is superior to the 2000.
The Midjay would be a valuable tool for a songwriter, particularly in creating demos.
You could record on it, then re-record adding whatever harmonies, sounds, effects, etc you like. Of course you could do the same with a standard multi-track recorder, but it's nice to have it all on-board and easy to fade things in and out in real time.
I'm not sure what Hank paid, but I know you can get a new one in the $1,700. range, maybe less.
DanO, George and AJ all sell them.
