Thanks Dennis. Two harmonies in the HarmonyM is a little bit limiting but it depends on a person's needs. Certainly the demos of the HarmonyM on the TC-Helicon website sounded pretty decent alright but I'm re-evaluating whether just two harmonies will cut it for my needs. I would really like to be able to get a choir effect and also a barbershop quartet, etc. In other words at "least" three harmonies but four would even be better. I would consider a Korg Pa2X but I would be losing 8 notes of polyphony (over a keyboard with 128 note polyphony) and when using the VH on the Pa2X I would be losing another 4 notes of polyhony when using a 4 voice VH preset. So that would take it down to 116. And with these ever more cpu and polyphony intensive new arranger keyboards the more polyphony the better. That's another reason I am excited about the Ketron Audya with its 197 notes of polyphony. Ketron may even surprise us by giving it 256 note polyphony. If the VH on the Audya turns out to be excellent - although I have my doubts after listening to previous demos of it - and if Ketron is able to keep the price down so people don't have to take a 2nd mortgage out on their house to buy one, then it may well be worth it to bide my time until the Audya actually ships to market before I consider divvying up the cash for a separate VH. I may be in for a loooooonnnnngggggggg wait though.

Best,
Mike
