Yamaha needs to really uprade the VH units in their Tyros & S units in the future to compete with TC/Korg etc, etc,....

Yes they do...

Wonder if they realise this... Glad i almost never sing, but this seems to be the weakest point of the tyros5...

Actually, when properly tuned, Yamaha's newer vocal processors are actually pretty darned good. I agree, they are not in the same league as most stand alone processors, but for an onboard processor, in the hands of a good singer, they sound surprisingly good. And, in reality, most audiences would not know the difference. Vocal harmony is still just a gimmick that provides some diversity for vocalist, and is especially helpful during a live performance.

All the best,

I agree with Gary. I’ve noticed a gradual vocal improvement with each new model. I’m currently playing out with the S970. The vocal harmony is definitely improved over the S950. Although I’m mostly instrumental, the vocal harmonies add a nice touch when needed.

I agree the VH2 is good, but after gigging with the PA 4X and TC Helicon....
