Why is that UD ... I would think/hope that if technics did re-enter the market at this point, they would include a very useable VH ... which I THINK is what you are referring to ...

I am a singer - or let me say, I sing - - and I've only used 2 arrangers - technics kn1000 and kn6000 - and I've used a digitech VH 'offline' of the kb ... it seems to me that a number of people have 'work arounds' for different things according to their needs ... I find the VH the easiest 'work around' for me ...

But alas, it is all moot, as I don't expect technics will re-enter the field in my lifetime ...
