V.Ray... You're not going to believe...went to local Sam Ash to look @ Digitech products. Had a couple of the lower end products, you know, ehh! The guy b hind the desk asked what I was looking 4. He said hey I have a friend with a STUDIO VOCALIST EX!! Yeah right! Well he did. Called the guy, a keyboard musician right from store, went right over and demoed. He said it was a little too involved 4 him ( can understand why- has ALOT of parameters; I will probably b postin" some ?'s 4 ya, SORRY!!). One-ish year old hardly used, MINT CHERRY condition. He paid (showed receipt and I know salesman) $820. Gave him $300 and I CAN'T STOP PLAYING WITH THIS THING. Bottom line: luck and timing matters, these forum's with all of you "informed " people are GREAT, and most importantly THANKS!
