It's all about diversity my friend. I don't think I need to double up on one instrument and not explore the total musical experience.

I plan to do major recording now, with my studio setup in place. I'd love to have both boards.

To answer your question: I do love the studio quality sound of Yamaha - strings, pianos - SA, etc.

This, in no way, thwarts the beauty of Korg - to reiterate, just the best of two worlds.

Stayed tuned...........

OK Jim......this is getting exciting!! so your selling the pa2x or having all 3?

Please tell me about how you use the TC Harmony M unit...

is it me or is the harmonizer in the Tyros not good? Is the one in the T3 any better than the T1 or T2?

Thanks

Tom

All the yamaha VH are mostly the same & sub par at best ....no where near the quality & superb Voice tracking of the
TC Harmony M....listen to the demos & watch the demo videos....& you decide.

If you are gigging I would stick with the Korg...as far a the TC in the Korg goes.....I think they bought the NAME. Because there is light years between the Korgs and the real deal. I asked TC about this at Summer Namm. They told me it was not even close and old technology. I thought at the time maybe they were just trying to sell me on the new stuff.........They were right I can now claim no built in harmonizer is much more than a rehearsal tool.

Get the TC Helicon M or G they are great for the money.

King frog good info Thanx

Most EVERYTHING in arrangers is 'older' technology

Possible exceptions are SA voices in T2 (SA2 in T3 comes, switches and all, from the MoXS series), but the chips that power them, a lot of the samples they contain, and the effects sections are usually scavenged from older WS technology.

Korg's are based on Tritons, to a large extent, Yamaha's on older Motif technology (with some upgrades, now), Roland's on older FantomX technology, VK tech, V-Drum tech... all basically off the rack rather than bespoke.

If you want to see where arrangers may be in four or five years, take a look at what WS's are doing NOW
