Yes Don the VH in the technics units was terrible. I don't know why Yamaha wouldn't contract TC Helicon for their VH needs T4 included. Korg did it right.

It wasn't just terrible - it was UNUSABLE ... but everything else was great and as DonM said, ahead of the curve at the time ...

Tony but in Technics behalf it was many many years ago when VH was in its experimental stages......VH units have come a long way in today's world...does anyone know the TRUE reason they stopped manufacturing arranger KBs...I hardly think it was lack of customers as there is so many sad Technics players to this day out there.

I was told that Technics Arrangers were such an insignificant portion of parent company Panasonic's total business package that it wasn't worthwhile pursuing it. They continued to support Technics for some time though.
