Gee Donny...there must be better demos of the harmonizer than this one.

Sounded like a bunch of munchkins from the Land of Odd!

Your S910 sounds better, in my opinion.

Try and find one of Uncle Dave's old demos...much better, if I remember.

It may be a Kazoo to you Donny...but it is far better than what was posted.

I've heard some really great stuff done with the S910's VH...Dan Rymut on PSR Tutorial makes it sound very good indeed, and even offers tips on how to set it up...I've passed these on to my clients who use S910's and other Yamaha with the same unit, and they were quite pleased with how it sounded.

I think using a VH "live" sounds okay, but many performers over-use it, and the whole thing just comes across as very contrived and phony...it is a much better studio tool than for use with a one man band.

That's just my opinion.

I have seen those demos....I wasn't impressed at all.....
IMO it's a toy gimmick...Yamaha has alot to learn with VH processors...that's why so many players have separate units like TC Helicon Harmony M, Etc, Etc, even though they spent thousands on an arranger KB...go figure?..
btw... I really enjoyed the vocoder mode this demo showed on a great classic Queen song.....it was really well done. I'll also agree that many players have no idea how to use VH effectively and over use is an understatement. Used sparingly it certainly can enhance a song when done correctly.
Studio recording is how I like to use it also..

I thought it was somewhat entertaining in a laugh out loud way.

Not a new video, but somewhat better...

It is a gimmick, to be sure, and despite your views, there are many who benefited from Danny's great tutorial, myself included (I use it on clinics)...funny, but you never see a harmonizer being used on American Idol, or any other show that may feature a single vocalist...unless it was pre-recorded (studio).

If you really enjoyed that video you posted, that's great...I thought it was quite funny, and I think the guy in the video must have been joking around...no one could post something that awful and be serious.

I laughed out loud too, Larry.

The one you posted is very good indeed...night and day difference...of course, the guy is obviously a pro singer and knows how to set it up...that sure helps.

....speaking of VH2, what ever became of this pitch correction technology? (discussed here on the SZ awhile back)
