In response:

1. Diki - never tried the harmonizer - knew I wasn't interested anyway after trying the other stuff first. I'm sure it's fine.

2. Dnj - not a bitter reply my friend. Simply a reaction to Fran's ever biased Roland statements.

3. Fran - give me a Roland 61 note keyboard with speakers and a harmonizer that compares to the 800 and I'll listen.

BTW..I am biased..especially when I am factual..

I like a wide range of products..Many other name brands...They all have strengths and weaknesses...

I do not dislike any brand for brand sake..as I do not like all Roland boards..( if you have paid attention in the past, I have negative views on Roland items too)

This particular post..I know I am right..

There are many things I like on the PA800..including the harmonizer....just because I believe the Roland harmonizer is better...doesn't trash the Korg..

I can say the same for keyfeel..The G70 is by far better,..doesn't trash the Korg PA800 (way better than S900}..

I can say the same about the OS..I think the Korg is still stuck in the i30 age..saving , loading from hard drive..the USB is a great improvement..

The biggest edge to me G70 verses the PA800 harmonizer..is the flexibility..It(Roland) can read (analyze} the proper chords with in a SMF(it considers all the tracks of a SMF)..not just a assignable track in a vocoder mode...

The other features also have the edge..vocoder, pitch correction and the vocal character changes....

You can also freely get the reads from left hand/right hand/full keyboard/SMF/chord recognition from styles ..

The 90 plus presets are also excellent...In fact I can't find anything to dislike on the Roland harmonizer..

Try it...compare them..I have..A..B..ing answers this argument..

Biased..maybe..but with good reason..
