Hi Guys,

Yamaha will be at my store AudioworksCT February 11th, doing a demo and live Q&A streaming event at 11:00 am eastern time. If there are any questions you can send them to AudioworksCT facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/AudioworksCT/ and I will get them answered during the stream with examples if needed. They will also do the same for the Montage at 3:00 pm Eastern.

Doing the demo is Heratch, which some of you already know, here is his bio

Heratch Touresian is a Technical Sales Specialist with Yamaha’s Pro Music division. With more than 15 years of experience within Yamaha, he is considered an industry expert in digital music, DAW, electronic drums, and recording. He’s also a busy southern California-based entertainer, and holds programming credits for Stevie Wonder’s “So What’s the Fuss”, and has scored for several short films.
To that effect, Heratch is a Genos and Montage guru. He uses the Genos to its full potential, as a live performance instrument with his band and is the studio as the ultimate songwriting instrument, and possesses deep technical knowledge regarding Montage, using the vast flash ROM memory to create his personal sounds and the 32-channel interface as the centerpiece of his production studio.
He also enjoys conducting seminars for consumers and Yamaha dealers on the practical applications of arrangers, digital pianos, and synthesizers. Meeting him is a great opportunity for you to access his vast technical Genos and Montage knowledge, and he is looking forward to answering your questions.

Frank, Thanks for the info this is one time I wish I were not in Florida and at home in R.I. Glad to hear you are streaming it I’ll be watching.

Good for you, Frank, ... I'm sure a lot of 'Yammies' will be tuning in ...

If anyone has any specific questions or if they want something demoed, please send to Frank@AudioworksCT.com

Demo the Vocal harmonizer VH2 tracking in depth....
with power singing to see if there are drop offs, etc,.

thanx

Donny, what is "in depth power singing" ?
I don't understand the phrase ...

Hi Frank, I sent you an email but I thought I’d post this here too.

Besides improving the VH, I wish Yamaha would include a chord sequencer/looper like KORG has. That’s about all that is holding me back from buying a new Yamaha....

"Demo the Vocal harmonizer VH2 tracking in depth....
with power singing to see if there are drop offs, etc,. "

Tony what I mean is do a singing demo at full performance vol levels
with music style playing with VH2 trio on to see how it tracks as Yamaha is known for drop offs...

Thanks, Donny ...
That should be a good test ...

I’d love to see a demo of the Genos creating a 8 bar multi midi track... one track at a time using Cubasis 2 on an iPad. I know the multi record can be done on the Genos but the workflow is a tad cumbersome. Since Yamaha says everyone does midi sequencing in a DAW, I’d love to see it done efficiently with the touch commands on an iPad hooked up to the Genos. How can you select sounds in the Genos without doing patch changes. Select a sound and arm a track... record an idea... select another sound on track 2... hit record and lay down the next track.

Thanks!!

Tx for sharing this info.

I've been using VH for a few years now at gigs...never had a drop off problem....not sure what this is about?

The harmonizer on the PA4X I had was also good but I never noticed a huge improvement over my Yamaha VH.....????

guitpic....you would have to post a demo or two featuring VH2
power singing with genos, etc, trio harmony for me to even begin to try and embrace any VH Yamaha has ever produced to this point VS TC helicon and especially tracking during a performance....sorry but I don't buy it.

Any experience with VH2?

I have had much experience with VH2 in the past on a few of my Yamaha arrangers and have been sadly dismayed every time with tracking and directional issues also,resorting to using TC helicon units every time its like night and day in quality. I would suspect and hearing from many genos users that NOTHING has changed design wise with VH2.

I thought the harmonizer in the G-70/Discover5/E-80 was REALLY good, on par with the Korg TC Helicon units. The only unit from Yamaha i've ever tried was the VH2 and i didn't like the way it sounded but it tracked pretty well.

VH2 is horrible when tracking no matter how your set it up....
try a trio or whatever and come in to the mic side ways or anything outside of straight dead on as if you were performing live to the mic
drop outs occur all the time and the quality is cheesy at best.
Sorry all you yammy players but that's my experiences, ...until someone demos VH2 and proves me wrong I'll stay with that fact on VH2. At least korg got it right and asked TC helicon for help on their models...

Please, put all questions together and send them to my email Frank@AudioworksCT.com

Great session Frank! Thank you.

Fantastic. Learned a lot. Looking forward to the YouTube as a refresher. Thanks Frank.

Got a link to Audioworks YouTube channel?

Wish I could have been there. Unfortunately, I checked out of Facebook a few months ago - far too many folks with an agenda they wanted to push. Looking forward to a you tube link, though.


Thanks for all you do, Frank,

Gary
