Thanks, John... for your extensive review. It sure makes me want one but the 970 is probably going to be the last PSR Unit I'll own. With the 970 I have enjoyed the styles and instruments (mainly piano and guitar choices) but have been baffled by the complexity of the vocal harmony and vocal effects. I'm gradually narrowing down the settings that seem to suit my vocals but it varies from style to style... and genre to genre.
If I were younger, I would purchase a stand-alone harmonizer like those Donny and Don Mason have discussed with us many times.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to share this information with us. Who knows, I may win the lottery... or have the good fortune to have one of my songs picked up by Willie Nelson or George Strait. (Highly doubtful!)
Regards,
