Fran,

Keep in mind that I tried a G70, owned an G800 for a couple months, and both sounded pretty good--but to ME, not as good as my PSR-3000. The vocal processor, when properly tuned, like any onboard vocal processor, sounds pretty darned good. I happen to like the stand-alone vocal processors a lot better--but that's just my opinion. There have been a number of posted songs using Yamaha's onboard processors and they sounded fantastic.

If there is one thing Diki said that I agree with it was that the vast majority of arranger keyboard players never take the time to explore all the features of their keyboards, and only a tiny fraction of those that have taken the time to do this ever learn all there is to know about them. His statement was spot on!

Who knows, maybe we'll have dueling keyboards. Just need a straw hat, and a stump for a stool.
