PSR3000.
I can turn the vocal harmony off and on with a foot pedal, but, can I not trigger the effect during live performance with the pedal also????
Gary, this question is probaly an easy one for you. Remember everyone, I'm new to the keyboard scene and love every minute I spend here in the forums.

Yes you can store one registration with VH on and another with VH off, eliminating the option of hitting the foot pedal.

If you want to turn the effects on or off with a foot pedal, it's another assignment of the pedal. You would have to assign a second pedal to TALK ON/OFF. This is done is easily done by pressing the DIRECT ACCESS button then stepping on the foot pedal and scrolling down to talk. Save the information to pedal setting on a registration. If you're running out of pedals, which can be easy to do, merely assign the same information to a couple special registrations, one for ON and another for OFF.

Good Luck,

Gary

Actually, I dont have a problem with turning voc. harmony on and off, It's the actual effect that it produces like instead of having to hold a left hand chord for the other parts of the harmony to kick in. I was hoping that I would be able to just hit the pedal at that certain part in a song instead of having to hold a chord. Any chance it works for that?

Phil, The TALK ON/OFF assignment to the foot peldal will take care of that.

Phil,
Are you talking about Style play, or sequence play? You can trigger the harmonizer in sequence play with the footpedal without playing the chords, but you have to change the settings in the harmonizer set-up. It has to be set to the channel in which the chords are encoded.
I don't have a Yammy in front of me, but I'm sure someone can help here.

Yes, I did forget that I needed a style to be playing before it would know to initiate the harmony. I was just trying a pedal with nothing playing at all, DUH. Couldnt get no harmony that way, but with a style playing then the harmonizer would have the chord structures to create the harmony, Right?? GARY, on the contrary, wouldnt the talk on/off stop the vocal harmony? I know it suspends all vocal effects until turned off. Anyhoo, I will try with some styles and such and get back to you all later.
THANKS, Phil

Actually the style doesn't have to be running, but you have to be holding the keys down.

Yes, the talk on/off stops the harmony. The effects I was referring to was the reverb, echo, etc--not the harmony. Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Yes, Gary, we are on the same page now. I tried with a style going and it was right on. Just hit the pedal and there it is. You were right on with your answer though gary.I can also go from a normal talk to adding reverb and chorus with a stomp of a pedal. Thanks guys and hang in there with me. I have a long way to go in my exploration of this keyboard and all the functions. P.S. I listen to Kenny G periodically and wanted to try to reproduce what I heard. Does the (sweet) soprano on the psr3000 kick but or what. I couldnt believe it when I unboxed the unit and started going thru the sounds. Very cool..
