I wonder if it makes sense to have a separate VH module. If not, then I might consider upgrading to PSR2000 or PSR740 due to this fact alone.

Can a decent one be had for less than $100 ? For that price range, is the separate module perform better than a built in VH like in PSR2000 and be able to follow your playing ?

Pls tell me what brand and price and possibly where to buy at a good price, thanks.

Thanks

Lukitoh: I know of no 'midi controled' vocal harmony processors that sell new for $100. I own the Digitech Vocalist Workstation EX which sells for $479 at Zzounds.com: http://zzounds.com/love.music?p=p.DGTVOCWORK&z=1494358300867

Digitech also produces a rack module version ($329): http://zzounds.com/love.music?p=p.DGTVOCVR&z=1494358300867

You may be able to find these units 'used' on EBay for less money.

IMHO, the above vocalizers sound better than the built in one that's built in on the PSR2000, but the one in the PSR2000 sounds fine for most of my live gig situations. In fact I rarely take the stand alone Digitech Vocalizer out on gigs anymore. Dollar for dollar, I think that it's worth upgrading to the PSR2000 to gain the acceptable quality sounding built in vocalizer. Another worthwhile reason to upgrade is that the PSR2000 supports 1 megabyte of user memory storage vs only 512 kilobytes on the PSR1000. Hope my comments help you in deciding which way to go.

Scottyee is right, I don't think you'll find one for the $100 price range... I think I saw a really basic one by digitech the other day and that was nearly $300.... Ebay would be the place to look

When I got the PSR2000 I retired my digitec VH. The Digi may be a hair better, but it is not worth the extra bucks or setup time to use it, in my opinion.

I wish I could figure out how to get my Vocalist to trigger properly from my PSR2000. I finally got the chordal harmonies to work, but the Scoops, Stereo, Male & Female, etc. don't work right. On my KN5000, these presets sounded great. On the PSR2000, they seem to get triggered by the right hand and produce some very high-pitched crappy harmony. Any ideas (Scott)?
