Tony, I'll be 75 October 17th. If I recall, you have me beat by a couple months, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, Donny ...

Sorry, Ol' man ... 74 April 16 ... ... but I'm always willing to learn from my elders ...

Nice job, Tony. I liked the harmonizing on the Pa900. Would you kindly share your settings?

Nice Tony.
I like your voice. I don't like the harmonies from either unit. Are you using chordal or scale mode on each unit??

Thanks for posting this Tony. I think the second take sounded much better- both the style and the VH. Keep em' comin'

mirza ... Thank you for the compliment and the critique ... both are appreciated ...
I am using the 'Chordal' mode ...
As I am always interested in learning, I would appreciate knowing what it is you dislike about the harmonies and any suggestions you might have for improvement ...



Paul ... thank you ...

Tony, no critique here. You did great job. I like making my own harmonies, and was never a fan of chordal mode. Why?? Because it's too unpredictable .It chooses it's own harmonies according to chord changes, but that in lots of ways doesn't work. Sometimes it's ok , but mostly not.You can really hear artifacts when voices change. I prefer scale mode always. Especially when I can create my custom scales. It works much better in scale mode. Try it with your digitech. I am not sure if pa900 has user scales. I know I made them on my pa800 while I had it.
Scale mode is more work and more setting up while playing live but you get much better results with harmonies.

Tony talk to Uncle Dave he is the undisputed
KB Vocal Harmony Master !!

Mirza,

I used my Digitech Vocalist 4 set to key to do this. In the music IQ setting the machine reads your voice so no chords are involved.



I think Digitech makes great harmony and would love to see Yamaha link with them the way Korg has linked with TC Helicon.

The way you describe setting up harmony could work for the studio, but I'll take my Digitech for live performance. I have this EAGLETS 3 style set up in all the keys I like to sing in so it's just a matter of stepping through to the right key and starting the song. Of course I use other settings like 3UP and ALT GOSPEL HARMONY. They all produce great results for my music.

Give this a listen and let me know how you critique the harmonies.

God Bless,
Don
