Time to see how good your hearing is, or isn't. The following are identical songs, one recorded using the TC Helicon Harmony-M and the other directly into the PSR-S950 using the standard mic input. The mic used for both is an E-855. The only editing was to change the file from a .wav file to an MP3 using Lame and Audacity. I must apologize for not doing this last night, but beginning about 10 pm yesterday evening, my lungs were really nasty, and they're still not great, so I have very little power in my vocals. I have nasal oxygen stuck in my nose and I had to take a shot of rescue inhaler in order to record this. Here's the first rendition of Jimmy Buffett's Man-ana, a song that I heard for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Click Here! Here's the second rendition: Click Here! Now it's time for you to decide which vocal processor was used. Good luck, Gary

I'm going sailing first thing in the morning and taking my daughter's room mate with me. So, when I get back, I will tell you what the results are. All the best, Gary

Ok sports fans, I just returned home from a full day of sailing - fantastic weather, excellent sailing conditions, excellent company, my daughter's room mate Christine. Now, those of you who said #1 (the first song) were correct. It was the TC Helicon Harmony-M, which I fell in love with the very first time I fired it up, though the user manual is lousy. The second song was created plugging the mic directly into the keyboard, and using the default settings, no tweaking or tuning at all. I know I could have made it sound better, but it wouldn't be a fair comparison if I did that. I have been using an external vocal processor ever since I met Uncle Dave for the first time in a New Jersey Rib place and heard him sing. UD is a master of right hand chords to trigger the vocal harmony, thus, one of the reasons he sounds so good when singing in harmony. But, I'm still better looking then him! All the best, Gary

Allen, actually, the Harmony M was set to two part harmony, but both were set at higher, while the S-950 was at factory default, which I believe is a duo setting.
The update on the Harmony M is easily done through their site, where you can download the update and install it in a few minutes. I didn't have a problem doing this, but that was so long ago I cannot remember exactly what I did at the time.
All the best,
Gary
