Ah, well, Donny, obviously your priorities and Yamaha's are different. I honestly can't see them doing any drastic changes to the present Vocal Harmony processor, especially on the next S-series. It would more likely arrive on the Tyros6...if at all. So you are best off using a TC Helicon or equivalent.

The current VH-2 works a treat for my uses, which include harmony for guest singers, recording as well as for my own Vocoding purposes.

I tend to use very little Vocal Harmony, and treat it much like a spice in food...I use it, but use it judiciously...and sometimes, it's not needed at all.

It really doesn't matter how long it took Yamaha to make a 76'er...the important thing is that they have, and a fine one it is, according to those who are using it.

I played a friend's Tyros5-76 and, I must say, if I was to need a 76'er, I'd get one in a heart best.
