Hey,
Does anyone have any experience with the Digitech VPR? If so what do you think and how is it to operate?
jam on,

Terry,

It's a neat, compact vocal processor that has only one basic requirement. First, you must select the basic key that you you'll be singing, then select the harnony type you wish to use, step on the foot-switch and sing your heart out. I don't believe it has the same vocal quality or diversity of the Midi Vocalizer or the VR, but it still sounds fairly good. If you're doing gigs where you also play a guitar, it's just what the doctor ordered because you don't have to interface the vpr with a midi device.

Almost forgot. Essentially, the way it works is almost like the scalic mode on the Midi Vocalizer. However, instead of setting the key with your keyboard, you select the note directly from the VPR's panel buttons. The good news is if you can sing well, it's a great tool and will really enhance any performance. The bad news is that if you sing off key, even just a little, it will really sound bad. Both the Midi Vocalizer and VR are fired through the keyboard's midi out, therefore, they can make some minor corrections in vocal characteristics.

I just purchased the VR and when Uncle Dave said, "You're gonna' be spoiled" he was right on the money. This was an upgrade from my Midi Vocalizer that I've been using for the past few years.
