Oh yeah, could you please post some examples with some styles too? I haven't found too many examples of the Korg PA 600/900 used with western music. Thanks!

I agree fully with Don Mason on this one.

Dave, I think you are beating yourself up a bit.

I thought the vocals sounds were great and the amount of echo was nice.
A vocaliser IMO is like the the wahwah pedal, we have to know when to use it and when not to use it, too much can destroy the overall preesentation.

Overall I was very pleased with sound, that piano sounds great.

Thanx for all the input - I'm posting the latest settings that I found to work "ok" in the mic section:

assign the dynamics processor to: Lead AND harmony
Set the Dyn to: -20 8.0:1 -55(gate)
EQ:I use the 60 hz low cut
Low: 806(-2)
Mid: 1.3 4khz(1)
Hi: 8.1(4)

These setting are "almost" acceptable with a Shure Beta 58 for my voice. It's so strange that the Sure gives me a clearer, more crisp sound than my EV 767 that I've use for years. In every other amp scenario I can compare, I prefer the EV. Weird.

I'll record a few style demos today ... stay tuned.

Here are a few tidbits with styles
Both recorded using the arranger chords as trigger for the voice

a few more
(hee hee .... forgot the "P" in Duprees)
The Duprees medley used manual LH bass and no arranger tracks ... just RH Rhodes, LH bass and drums.(I think I unmuted the 1-5 tracks for one chorus ... can't remember now)

Brian ... I did not fuss at all with levels. I used the internal recorder and hit "start"
I'm sure the vocal `unit is t fault - it's so sensitive and unstable so far - I'm so puzzled, but not giving up yet. I have a quiet, dinner music job tomorrow .... that will give me great input on the sound in a quieter setting.

Mentioned on another thread, but you might consider an external pre/compressor combo BEFORE going into the Korg...

Those inputs are unbalanced, according to the PA900 site.

The mic pre is most of the trouble - with a better signal, the harmonizer probably would sound better. I'm guessing that, like Yamaha, Korg is squashing the input signal to prevent untrained singers from damaging the speakers. I'm still working on a fix for this.

I just tried a PL84 condenser mic with a Rolls phantom power supply ... sounds a tad cleaner, more gain, but still ...... dunno .... more tests.
