I'd think with the new vocal harmonizer many curent S910 users would want to up-grade. I have yet to see a VH2 demo that is worthy of "professional live gig use" using the new so called VH2 Since you already use a very neat external vocal harmonizer (that you say you really like a lot), and most of your act is singing, you'd probably be best sticking with the S910. The Tyros4's VH-2 is a far better harmonizer, totally "professional" in every way, but the only way you will really know, is to try the one on the Yamaha Tyros4yourself....you must have access to, or have at least tried, a Tyros4 have you, Donny? It's been out for quite awhile. Ian

Yamaha has a big market for arrangers in Newfoundland...but, they don't create very many jigs, reels, fast 3/4, 6/8 etc for the kind of music that is predominant there.
Ian
But how many artist's playing jigs, reels, fast 3/4, 6/8 etc are turning out hit songs? Contemporary Latin is hardly a niche market. Your point on learning the style creator is well taken. It's amazing how many use jigs reels fast 3/4, 6/8 etc...think River-dance, Acadian, New Orleans, Scottish, Irish...if Contemporary Latin isn't a niche market, I am very surprised no one has capitalized on making styles for it. There has to be someone making them. Ian PS...the Style Creator is my "best friend".

Ian honestly .....this is the first time I'm not really too excited about what's coming out on the market...including the next S Series unit...I am perfectly content with the S910 on stage ...it does the job "FOR ME" very well......and to upgrade for just a few new sounds and a so so VH2 isn't worth it...
I cant believe I'm saying this but I am probably going to wait for the next wave of releases from the manufacturers even if its another year or two away to check out new stuff at this juncture... nothing out there now can sound any better then what I have IMO. I wish everyone a happy easter and passover holiday and good luck with your new gear what ever it is.
It is good you have taken your time...in my case, I had the money to buy, and rather than wait till the Tyros4 demo instrument was going back before buying it, I spent the money while I had it...I would've chipped away at it over time (wasting it on food, furnace oil and utilities  ), and might not have had enough to get the Tyros4, which after playing, I felt I had to have. The S910 was my second choice, but, I am very glad I went for the Tyros4. Who knows, you may really like the next S-series...in any case, you certainly aren't forced to buy. Let me know if you hear of anything new. Ian

I'm just not motivated by what I'm hearing or seeing at this point with what's out there now At All...meanwhile enjoy your T4 it's a super Arranger! I'll be in touch

Given what we've seen from Yamaha recently.., I wouldn't be surprised if the new S-Series are made with black casings. Yammie seems to be moving back to that.
