Does anyone know if Korg as improved the vocal harmonizer on the PA80?
On the one I had, there was no place to edit, adjust, etc. You were stuck with a choir type full harmony every time.
If this were addressed, I would reconsider the Korg, in light of the other upgrades they have made.
Thanks,

Don,

just wait for the XD9!!

Just want to weigh all options. I wish I didn't like the 2000 so much, but I do plan to change first chance I get.
Don

I see a xd9 in your future :>)

Well it's still 35 pounds, I'm really getting used to 20!

Hi DonM,
All things considered, where are you going to find a KB that plays easer, or sounds
better, or less weight, or costs less, or loads from a floppy as fast, or reads a floppy direct without loading! All those Styles at your fingertips, right off a floppy! And sounds some would say are almost as good as the Pro! (At less than half the price!)
Think about it, you don't want to give up that little Jewel! Ain't none other you could get, that would be perfict! Right?

I've been married three times, and I loved 'em all.
I will change keyboards as soon as I find something that will do the job as well, mainly because Yamaha misrepresented this keyboard. It is a really good keyboard, but could be absolutely great with just a little work.
I won't, however, go backwards and lose features that I need and enjoy, just for spite.
There are other good companies making keyboards, and the technology is progressing very quickly. I'll check out the new offerings when they are available. I'm quite certain that it will be quite some time before Yamaha has anything new.
I would consider Roland if it had a mic processor, but . . . it's down to Korg, Ketron and Technics, with the edge right now to Ketron. Either SD1 or the new one.
I have become somewhat dependent on the internal speakers for monitors though, so maybe not the SD1. If the Technics still calls for a proprietary hard drive (read expensive!), then they will be eliminated as well.
It's too bad there is no place to try out all the models and make an objective decision.

Don,

I am not entiorely positive, as I got my harmonizer after I updated the OS in my PA80 don't think that OS 3.1 did anything to change the way the harmonizer works. I have to say though, that I find the harmonizer in the PA80 to my liking. I've had to change a the way I approach my setups and performances now that I have it, but even my staunchest critic ( the wife of course.. who else ? ), says that when she hears me sing with ( and without it ) into my current setup ( SM58 directly to the PA80 ), that it is the best she has ever heard me sound. Who am I to argue with THAT?? lol

Your wife may have a sister in Louisiana!
Mine is BAD critical.
I will try to download the 3.1 manual.
The harmonizer, and the quality of the fills, intros and endings are what made me not keep the PA80.
DonM

LOL Don, she just might. As for me, Harmonizer I like, fills in styles I don't like. The styles are the thing I miss most about the 2000 and even the 740 before it. Many of the major ones from different manufacturers are converted for Korg, but that's always hit and miss. Some of the converted ones sound good others....
I converted a few of my favorites from the 740 and 2000 series and got 'em sounding decent, but still that 2 fills thing. Luckily I still have XG works and a ton of styles for it. I use it a lot to make midi files up for the Motif based on Yamaha styles. The Yamaha styles sound great with Motif too.
