Bill already bought a TC Harmony M....tried it with results that didnt work for him.
http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/018223.html All Yamaha units that have VH need big inrovements it is the least attended weak point of all their arrangers through the years for sure aside from the MFD. Especially when the other BIG 3 competition have much improved them both on their models.
With MUCH tweaking at low volumes it could be made to sought of work very delicately with tracking at a minimum in real time usage. By shutting off the vibrato, lowering VH:lead ratio to 15%, rear gain knob to 9Oclock, EQ & a few other changes you can have a gimicky VH sound at best compared to quality units like Tc Helicon or Digitec, etc, lets face it certain features are just there to entice buyers...although Yamaha has many great features re: sound/styles, etc, the VH is Not one of them plain & simple. If your a REAL lead singer you'll know what I mean. On a 1-10 scale Yamaha VH is a 5 at best. Don't be fooled.
Once you use the above mentioned brands you'll never go back if your serious about singing. At least there are good alternatives you can use coupled with your Yamaha unit.
