I won't be parting with my TCH quite yet, although I would like to, just to simplify my set-up. After all, it's just a circuit board without the case. I can't understand why this feature can't be made as good as the TC Helicon voice live. The voice harmony from Helicon is NOT as good as a stand-alone TC Helicon unit and is on par with Tyros. Loads of knobs and sliders and good touch screen make it easier to use than Tyros. played through high end ref monitors, it really opens up with lots of nuance and color to the voices. I played it through a KB amp and it reproduced very well. Perefct for quiet playing and song writing in your den. Pretty loud on their own! Good stereo field. I can see some pro gigs using this kb for solo and piano voices. This KB has excellent strings, piano and not bad organ. In recent years, solo voices have leapt ahead, but some of the foundatio voices remain tepid. Top this off with a good horn section and peaople will beat a pathway to your door!!! In past years, most keyboards in this segment, sufferd with diluted synth sounds, lousy accoustic pianos and toy like organ voicing. Let's face it, we all want a few basic voices that stand out as a the platform for all solo voices. Again, this may be a price point thing, but an extra knob or two for this feature, would add sales appeal to players who look for that "real" organ sound. Also needs an easier way to vary the organ sound to allow for over-drive and a more aggressive sound. Perhaps a later upgrade can "fatten" this sound. The organ voice lacks a good clear key click and attack on the drawbar organ voicing and the rotary is a little weak. PA800 Guitars,piano and organ are (opinion) better than Tyros. "Sweet" voices (flute, clarinet, harp etc) are excellent, but I think Tyros has an edgein this zone. Great production Korg! This is a perfect partner for song writing inspiration because the rythems and styles lead the way. Ryhthems kept from being boring and were amongst the best I have heard. Close your eyes and the baseman is playing next to you. Base lines are too real! In fact, they are scary good. One touch defaults are chosen well and suit the styles with great compliment. I have to say, they have an edge over Tyros. The intros and endings are of a very high technical quality that sound as good as any MP3. Good variations that build nicely.I could be wrong, but the backing voices (score accomp) seemed to vary without changing the style. The styles are great!! They feel more alive and less repetative than the competition. Musical sounds/voices are a personal thing, (one mans meat etc)and in my opinion, all of the voices are good, or better than good on this KB.
