Dear fellow musicians, which harmonizer sounds better to your ears? In my opinion, Korg handles transitions between chords better. Yamaha excels as always with well-prepared presets (which, unlike Korg) do not need to be modified so much. Don't forget to give a subscription and like. I would like to monetize this channel. Maybe it will help a little in these (especially for concert musicians) difficult times. Next videos will going soon. Thank you very much. JD

[@MarianRado]

Yes korg

[@THEL0NEARRANGER]

You really have to take the time to set up the Yamaha VH2. My S950 has the same VH2 as the SX900 and I freak people out all the time when they know the backup vocals are done live. I have over some 30 different setups to nail the correct backup need for each song, from groups like Alabama, Beatles, Beach Boys to singers like George Strait, Elvis, Kenny Roger and Dolly Parton.

[@bz1994]

Yes , the Yamaha is better than it seems in this video and easier to use , both are good

[@andromeda3542]

TC Helicon, always! So, yes, Korg.

Great video. Great musician and Great Korg!

[@jesonmarknadar]

I m a yamaha lover but definitely korg sounds far better n little more punchy than yamaha 👍👍👍 very nice comparison 👍👍👍👍

[@freddymay2406]

You needed to reduce the compressor on the SX900 microphone input, but the comparison is still good, I liked it.

[@Abraham-yr4fl]

I like the vocal of Korg. But for other sounds I like the sounds of PSR SX 900 rather than korg. However you are doing well. Praise God.

[@dudesroom]

Came across this for the first time and you remind me of Andrew Bernard 😆 Thanks for this video.

[@ElCompaVictorino]

Such an amazing demo! Keep it up!.. I personally love Yamaha harmonizer since I have a sx900!. Great, great video!. Would you mind making a video dedicated only to the Yamaha harmonizer?. Thank you!

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

Hello Victorino, thank you for your comment. In these days I'm solving the problem of what vocal harmonizer to get. I don't much like the one in the sx900. Tc helicon is now sold out on the Czech market. :( Next week I could shoot a video especially on Vh2 sx900 for you. Have a nice day. 🎹

[@ElCompaVictorino]

@@JDkeyboardplayersinger Alright!! Thanks a lot!

[@RecordingStudio9]

Korg's TC-Helicon sounds much more realistic and smooth. Yamaha's one sounds as if a tad bit late from the main and a bit of 'ducking' effect to my ears. Thanks for the demo.

[@GaryMCurran]

The TC-Helicon in the Korg gets my vote. It just sounds more realistic. Yamaha does a lot of processing on their sounds, apparently to include their harmonizer, to present a more 'room ready' sound, but it distracts from the actual sound samples, leaving them over processed. Korg gives you more realistic sounds, and the TC-Helicon is no exception, but you have to work the stuff with effects and audio processing to get that 'finished' sound. It's not hard to do, but you don't get the 'out of the box' room ready stuff you do with the Yamaha. So, a lot of that depends on what you are looking to do and what you're looking for.

[@SynthGrooves]

[@ZorbaTheDutch]

I would say the Korg sounds better here. The Yamaha has a bit too strong of an accent (attack) at the start of (changing) notes it seems. I wonder if the music genre would matter, I could imagine the Yamaha sounding better in more rhythmic pieces, swing, funk, pop etc. In reality, players would probably fine tune the settings on both keyboards to their own likings, but it's hard to make comparisons like that. It's of course also subjective. Thanks for the very informative video!

[@fredvillaume8490]

Korg is better, no doubt of that ! The harmony on the SX900 not bad but not as clear as the TC Helicon on korg is !

[@augustinenathan266]

Take Tyros. Then you will know

[@renoysebastian5987]

@@augustinenathan266 yes💫

[@musiclovers1510]

Brother you. No price diffrent 😅

[@matthewmatiki]

Does anyone know if you can route the microphone audio (with harmony) to a separate audio output on the both the Korg and Yamaha i.e. thorough the auxiliary output/sub outputs.

[@perallantones]

Korg TC Helicon has the best sound. Nice comparison!

Hi👋...is it possible to bring in/out the vocal harmony using an fc7 expression pedal on the sx900??

[@WysteriaGuitar]

I am a singer so this was very useful thanks. So which one would you go with?

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

Hello, for me is Korg better.

[@WysteriaGuitar]

@@JDkeyboardplayersinger Thanks

[@sertaovale1636]

Me parece que o Korg é mais realista . BRASIL ❤🎙

[@concord7860]

If you'll have a chance, please review MEDELI AKX10/Thomann AKX1100. It has similar specs as both of those keyboards.

[@iggy1manband]

For any vocal harmony to sound better one need to tweak around the parameters. Believe I am using something which is not even the half price of the both Keybrd but sound as if real voices!!!

[@UdithaMe]

what is it? I am on a budget

[@Brandes53]

Can I run my tc helicon for keyboards thru the sx900. Wouldn't it need audio inputs on the sx900 for me to do this or am I missing something?

[@ArunKumarB]

Great work and demo. I have a question: Is it possible to do the same with a Roland Fantom series keyboard?

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

Hi, If Fantom have vocal harmony processor so yes. :) But synth usually don' t have this function - very often they are able just add reverb or other FX on mic imput.

[@ArunKumarB]

[@binil100]

Can you suggest me which is best to buy.

[@AlvaroMRocha]

The Yamaha settings are not as well tuned as in the korg and you could have had picked a more similar tinklier Epiano too. The SX noise gate is set too high and the compression ratio could be lower, and the EQ more smiley, you can also set the speed of the vocal processor reaction, vocal type, singing style and auto tuning on the Genos, don't know about the SX...

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

Hi Alvaro, thank you for your comment. Believe me, I tried to choose the most similar sounds. However, Yamaha is very distant from Korg in terms of sound. Unfortunately, the crystalline purity that comes from the TC Helicon cannot be produced on a Yamaha (PSR SX900). Yesterday I had the reassembled PA in my house and compared the sound of the vocals through Yamaha SX900 and through the Soundcraft Signature 12 mixer. Yamaha was very narrow. Something like a very compressed mp3. Although I tried to create sound using corrections to make it the best. Korg is far better at this. In my opinion, TC Helicon is better than Yamaha for vocal processing. However, I respect your opinion and thank you for sharing it. Take care.

[@Burbuja254]

Korg is the best, much more quality , nice video !!!

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@Criticasparareflexio]

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the PA4X with the Genos? the SX900 is more along the lines of the PA1000 in terms of cost and features.

[@michael-zabrocki]

It looks like I am in the non-popular camp and prefer the Yamaha. I have the TC Helicon as a stand alone harmonizer. It's good but requires some real focused tweaking. I thought Yamaha sounded more real.

I never used Korg and only Yamaha more than 20 years. I recently bought the Sx-900. I am amateur player but like to sing a lot. I bought a Shure SV-100 microphone. It sort of gives cracking sound. I like to use the voice ALPEN GIRLS harmony. But it always is a disaster. I am no expert in making adjustments to the various parameters as I dont understand any of it. I feel its the mic fault. Could you please suggest which microphone could be best for the SX-900. Thanks. Love from India

The Genos has the same harmony as all Yamaha keyboards have since the PSR-S950 came out in 2013

[@georgesadeler]

L'harmoseur sur le Korg est meilleur que le Yamaha. J'ai eu autrefois un Tyros V1 et le résultat n'étais pas très bien non plus. Peut être est-il meilleur sur le Genos???

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

Hello thank you for your comment. You are right but in the Czech republic is price of Korg Pa4x more close to the psr sx900 than Genos. And second reason is that i don't have Genos. :) In these days i'm preparing new videos. Please stay tuned. JD

The preset in Yamaha is very realistic.

[@solosolomon]

I Prefer Yamaha because it is cheaper than korg pa4x.

[@JDkeyboardplayersinger]

@@solosolomon Hello. I know that comparing the Yamaha PSR SX900 with the Korg Pa4x is not fair. Unfortunately I don't have a Korg Pa1000 available. On the other hand, in the Czech Republic the price of the SX900 is quite close to the Pa4x. Another option is to buy a second-hand Pa4x. I've bought a lot of second hand keyboards and if you know what to try before you buy, then no problem. I'm happy for your opinion and I confirm that the presets in Yamaha are really good. I like both keyboards and both brands. That's why I also own a Korg Pa4x and a Yamaha PSR S750. The SX 900 is from a music school where I teaching children how to play the keyboard. Have a nice day and stay tuned. I will post a new video in the next few hours. JD

[@solosolomon]

@@JDkeyboardplayersinger thanks for your reply 👍

[@JohanDerWitt]

KORG PA4X are much technically better than YAMAHA SX900, but only if you know how to used and handle it. For a beginner is YAMAHA SX900 user friendly to start and not complicated. The TC HELICON PA4X is superior.

[@solosolomon]

@@JohanDerWitt yes 👍. Yamaha is user-friendly and best for beginners. Korg pa4x is for the professional.

I thought the korg sound was better, but I still think both have an unnatural sound. I'm sure you had them turned up for the purpose of the video but in general use, I think they're better when quieter and not as prominent in the mix

Hi, yes you are right. In a real situation, I would never use vocal Harmony so loud. You can listen to my cover songs, where you can hear how I use the vocalizer in real situations. For example here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZaTh318Z5uBmZI Thank you for your comment and have a nice day. JD
