I think the overall mix needs some mids. Harmony sounds pretty good. It lags behind PA3X but is very usable.

Col great song I do it all the time especially last week during Valentines week,........the TC Helicon units certainly have a more robust quality sound & positive tracking abilities that I am very aware of as I have used them extensively.... then the Yamaha units VH1,VH2.
thank you for your comparison demo appreciate it. Would love to also hear a Roland G70 & Ketron Audya 5 version also from someone to compare also.
For me regarding VH units on keyboards of any kind

Fran what a great song on of the classic Duet ballads, years ago so many people got married with this song I've done it so many times myself with my band & duos.........I took the liberty of Eq'ing it a bit so I could clearly hear the VH quality a bit better on the G70 also was a bit muddled for my ears..

Thanx for sharing great stuff....I'm impressed at all the demos people are starting to post here on the SZ....makes for a much more pleasurable experience then just talk talk talk...I enjoy listening to everything. headphone

Here's an example of the TC Helicon Harmony-M fired through the PSR-3000's vocal processor.

The recording was done using the Zoom H2 which was not wired directly to the keyboard. It was sitting on a chair near the Bose L1 Compact. At the time I was just recording performances to determine if I could make improvements.

Gary KILLER SONG!! Garth Brooks one of my favorites......clap
Sounds wonderful thru the Psr3000,....I can see why you really don't need a S950. cool2 Nice use of the VH1 also.

I think the big mistake everybody makes with VH machines is over-use of the 3 note harmony. You listen to most pop music, and most of the time, it is only ONE part on top of the melody (or underneath it, or jumping from above to below!), or at most, one voice above, one voice below.

Going for the big Carpenter's sound is something done rarely. Or at least, far less than the simple stuff.

TBH, most arrangers don't offer the kinds of control I would want to use if VH was a part of my act (it isn't!). I would like easy footswitch control of whether the harmony part was above or below me (on the fly) and an easy way to go from one part to two and back (and off) without taking my hands off the keyboard.

But big block harmonies that drone on and on is such a dead giveaway of a nasty VH! Less is more...

Donny, I am wondering if we hear different because of our monitors or headphones...I know you always cut bass ..where I always think it is fine...

After your eqing I loss the more live sound ..at least on my best headphones..

Anyone else have an opinion about the EQ?
