Eric,

It definitely is a keeper. It sounds great. Keep up the good work.

Tom

With these different harmonizers, can one effectively and realistically sound like a backing group.

Example: In The Still of the Night by the Five Satins. Before I come in with the lead vocal, can I cut the "output" of my voice that's feeding into the microphone, so that all I hear is "harmonized" voices without my own voice standing out? Also, can you alternate between original voice and harmonized voice quickly and smoothly (as in the release (bridge) part of the song?

I believe you can do all that.
There is a setting for turning the lead vocal off. Program as step one by hitting step button Then turn lead vocal back on and turn off Harmonizer and program as step two.
Each time you hit step you go back and forth between one and two.

Wow, that's great news.
Eric

Congratulations Frank!!

That's great news, Eric, if it is true.

Certainly Yamaha's tired old vocalizer needs to be retired, although guys like Dan Rymut have tamed the snarly beast very nicely.

I use the harmonizer on the S910 to run my CS01 mono synth through, and achieve pseudo polyphony.

This is the first harmonizer sound that truly interests me. Now I got the GAS again.

That's a great job you did on The Wall there.

Keep your ears peaked, you are definitely going to be hearing this one on many a jingle and commercisl, underscores too! I better get some money together and get one before everybody else beats me to the sound. Again. Heh.

Thanks for the post!

Hey Ian,
I have tried every trick in the book to tame the T3 VH. It just didn't work and kept distorting.
I must say though that I love Rock and the Harmonizer doesn't like it if you sing to high.
The same with my wife (who is by the way a much better singer than me ). Her voice can go pretty high and it so frustrating to have a great KB and crappy vocals.
Now she can sing as high as she wants and the VL2 is right there with her with great vocals. Yeah!
Yamaha has reworked pretty much everything except the VH. So they got to do something with the next model...
Eric

I hope they change the VH for the next Tyros and PSR-S-series, Eric.

Since I don't do vocals, it was never that critical to me, but I do get your point very well.

Time will tell.

Ian
