Bill, back when I was using the onboard harmonizer, I only used a single harmony style, so there was no need to save harmonies in the registrations. Same goes for other mic settings, I used the same reverb, EQs, etc... all the time. As for pedal settings, I used one on the left pedal for the vocal harmony on/off and one for the right hand voice, which was triggered with right pedal.

Now, all of this was saved to a setup registration, which I accessed as soon as I turned on the keyboard. The next step was to lock this information in place, which I do using the Parameter Lock feature and placing a check mark in the Mic Settings box.

On all my registrations, which I have several hundred, I no longer check the Pedal or VH/mic boxes, therefore, changing to another registration has no effect on either parameter. It's very easy doing it this way.

The Vocal Harmony style I used was the Quartet On Stage, which seemed to work well for my bullfrog deep voice. This is something you will have to customize for your vocal level.

Now, when you use the parameter lock feature, that automatically resets to factory default vocal effects when you turn off the keyboard, so you will have to save the information to a registration, name it setup, or anything else you prefer, then before turning off the keyboard, press funtion/settings/parameter lock and uncheck that box for the VH/Mic settings. When you fire up the keyboard again, merely select the setup registration, press the registration button, and all those settings will be instantly selected, the place a check mark in that Parameter lock box for the VH/Mic and you're ready to go for the rest of the time until you have to shut down. That big change that Donny was referring to is a minor software change that Yamaha will soon be addressing, at least that's what I've been told. It's really not a big deal, at least for me.

Hope this helps,

Gary
