frankieve Senior Member Registered: 11/24/99 Posts: 1675 Loc: Milford, CT, USA	I mean come on, The T1 vocalizer was horrible the SD1 was not bad then the PA1x with the Helicon was great then Rolands sounded great than the T2 comes out and sounds like crap. I thought the whole purpose of a arranger keyboard was for all in one type concept. just venting _________________________ www.AudioProCT.com Frank@AudioProCT.com

I have heard others say the vocalizer is still weak..not up to par with the others. My experience is only with the PSR2100 and Tyros..I thought they were okay, not great, but not a big deal to me.. Now I am spoiled with my own idea ..using multiple channels with an external vocalizer[Tune 1000's Harmony Box].. _________________________ www.francarango.com

The PSR-3000 and Tyros vocal processors can be fine tuned to sound fair to good, but they'll never get into the excellent category. I have not heard the T2's vocal processor yet, but I understand it is the same one used in the Tyros.

frankieve Senior Member Registered: 11/24/99 Posts: 1675 Loc: Milford, CT, USA	Sorry for the rant, I think I'll be doing the off board vocalizer for the Tyros, too bad, I like allot of things about the board, I guess I'll have to wait for the new Ketron _________________________ www.AudioProCT.com Frank@AudioProCT.com

The Digitech VR is in another class for sure but means carrying another piece of gear & more wires too hook up, is it really worth it to you? if so do it.

Make-up ... lighting... air brush ... Back to the original issue, I personally was not agreeing or disagreeing as I don't own a Yamaha,... it's just that I know there are people here who think it's fine ... I use the Digitech ex, myself ... QUOTE from Dnj: "The Digitech VR is in another class for sure but means carrying another piece of gear & more wires too hook up, is it really worth it to you? if so do it." You're absolutely right, Donny ... whatever works for the individual ... t. _________________________ t.
