I hear ya, Ian ... this is a rare semi-down time for me with school out for the winter break. After 1/3 I'll be immersed in play practice and graduation music ... I'll hardly even have time to THINK about keyboards! lol

I have complained about this for the past six or seven YEARS. They aren't going to do anything about it. You can buy a Tyro 4 or wait and see if the next 900 series has the new harmonizer.
I did have a Tyros 2 a few years ago and it certainly had the problem. If you engage or disengage the vocal harmonizer while singing a note, the original (lead) voice is interrupted for a split second.

Exactly Don I found the same problem with my Tyros2 and so many other Psr's.....
still waiting to see a Yamaha VH2 demo IN DETAIL...anyone???

As I mentioned somewhere, I did get to play Don Patterson's Tyros 4, and the vocal harmonizer works seamlessly. There's a lot to like about the T4.

having second thoughts now? ... Ive still yet to even see on in a store around here yet? did I mention I only live between two large cities New York & Philly ever hear of them anyone? ...and these store have crap in them regarding arranger KB's.......but you'll see every workstation imaginable in there !! so I guess the watch you tube demos & Buy & Return policy is in effect..

I think Don bought his from Frank. He can have you one overnight!
DonM

Frank is the best to deal with as I have many times before...BUT, I am not convinced the T4 is a better fit then what I have now the S910 for my needs....I'm waiting for winter NAMM..I'm also very interested in the Media station Groove 76/61 also with it's new OS.

We'll see!

IMHO, the reason they are not going to fix it is they consider the PSR/Tyros a Home arranger and they more than likely would just say...it's a home keyboard and that feature/fix is not neccessary...exactly the same they told me when I reported some MIDI issues and other things I needed to control an external tone module on my T2.

again most times Buyer error.....in not investigating all features BEFORE you buy a unit to see if it has exactly what you need before purchase. There is so many choices...homework must be done in detail first!
