Fran I took your advice and played around with this.

WOW!! Where has this Roland vocoder been in my arr playing gigs...Man it is one seriously cool bit of work..Way better than anything on the Korg.

Thank you very much for the heads up on it..

To be honest if you had not said anything, I would never had tried it, oh I knew it was there sure enough, but my past experiences with vocoders caused me to ignore it..

Now I fully understand why the upper/lower or full keyboard is so important in vocoder mode. And it is really a lot easier to get good harmonies than the harmony mode.

I can also see how Diki can fit it in with piano mode as well. I also use mostly (95%) of styles in full keyboard, piano mode.

Guess who will be using it from now on

Cheers
Dennis
