Hi Scott old Buddy, Good to see you posting on the Technics forum again. I've just bought a Tyros as well and I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about the Vocaliser. In my opinion, it is just so much better than the Technics version. I seem to remember that this was one of the prime reasons why you chose the Tyros rather than the KN7000, way back in 2002. The inclusion of a vocaliser does not influence my choice of keyboard, since I never use it, mainly because I just don't have a voice good enough to inflict on others. Just out of interest, last weekend I asked a fellow musician, who does sing well, to have a listen to the new Tyros and the subject of vocal harmony arose - he normally uses a Digitech. We tried out the vocalisers on the KN7000 and the Tyros and they were like chalk and cheese. His opinion was that the Tyros vocaliser was as good as his Digitech but he did not like the KN7000 version at all. Looking a little further into the Tyros version, there are also many different harmony effects available.
So in answer to Grandpa Doug's question
"Willum, Is there any other keyboard manufacture who has a built in harmonizer that works as good as or better than the Digitech?"
Yes! the Tyros seems to come up trumps
