Using the Yamaha SPX-90 or 90 II as a vocal harmonizer?

You can, but it's really, really, really, really bad. I tried it, and it sounds awful. I's O.K. for just pitch shifting for vocal sound effects, but to use as a harmony tool, it just doesn't cut it.

Did I mention it sounds bad ?:D

Otherwise, I love my SPX90II - use it all the time.

Cheers,
mike

Thanks Mike...I figged that would be the answer. What do you like about using the 90 II, care to provide some examples of usage?
 
I use it mainly as a reverb, delay, or panning on vocals, guitar, or guitar synth.

I've got a few favorites patches saved, but I usually just play with the parameters until I find the sound or vibe I'm looking for at the time. I find I have more fun starting from scratch, and I get more ideas that way.

I saw your other thread in the rack forum, and agree with Bruce that it has very usable effects (flange/chorus/delays/ambient stuff).
