Hi Larry,

Actually, I too think the PSR2000's harmonizer is pretty decent sounding. It is only when you do an actual A/B comparison with the Digitech standalone unit that you hear the difference. It's also important to remember to keep the harmony volumes lower than yours and avoid pushing the harmony pitchs to extremes. Afterall, the harmonies are not meant to be a replacement to your voice, just an added backup.

Unless the PSR2000's harmonizer's on/off function is supported via a midi 'control change' command, I don't think it will be possible to get the MCF10 to trigger it. I don't even know if the 2000's harmonizer on/off feature is even supported by SysEx. The answer to this can be found in the PSR2000 Data List book, but even if it did, you would have to send the SysEx via your computer via midi to the MCF10 as the PSR2000 itself does not support SysEX command templates like the PSR9000. I use the MCF10 to trigger the arranger's basic functions: start,stop, main: a,b,c,d (and associated fill ins), intro 1,2, ending 1,2. I use one of the two PSR2000's single footswitches to trigger harmony on/off and the other for piano sustain. That makes a total of 12 pedals. eeek. That's enough to keep my feet occupied.

Even though I only take the MFC10 out for the larger venues (it is a bit bulky to transport) , it really can make a BIG difference in the your overall performance because it allows you to focus BOTH hands on playing the keyboard while allowing you to trigger fillls (with your foot) at just the right moment(s).
