is it good for overlaying harmonies and piano??

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

Yes, of course... Simply turn the 'Guitar' volume knob all the way down. It doesn't change the 'input' volume or presence of the guitar. I do this all the time and it works great! Also, for 'just harmony', rotate the 'Harmony' knob all the way to the right, and only harmonies will come out. However, why not use your 'main vocal' as one of the harmony parts when over-dubbing? This can 'thicken' the harmonies... Also, to give the harmonies presence, perform them twice into two separate tracks and pan each hard-left/right, respectively and delay one side about 6-to-8 ms and listen to the magic!

It's made for both You can compose an entire symphony or add vocals and beats also guitars pianos synths It can do it all and the only limitation is your own abilities I hope this helped you can also go to there web site to get help also other instrument still have to know how to play them. but you can get add on stuff that will play in with out you playing the instrument you just have to arrange were you want to put them in. It is definitely a great program with lot's of option's to create your musical dreams .

Yes, it can. I have never done this but it is in the instructions. This is a great piano for a beginner or even someone that can't afford a real piano I am a Music Education Major and piano teacher. Now have I found some notes or things I do not like, yes, certainly it is not as good as three times as much money but neither is it so bad that I can' t use it for what I wish to do. What I do not like is that I am having some vision problems which will be corrected someday by operation not bad enough yet. And the stuff written above the keys are so faint to me and small I cannot fully see it so I have lite it well and marked it with masking tape the sections I use the most while playing no problem for anyone else. Any way for the portable mostly piano sound I want it is a wonderful price point. But if you are a pro and expecting more of it than what it is you will be unhappy. I am not. I use it with beginning students and they are happy and parents are too. I would prefer a grand piano but no room and certainly no money for such even a used one. It will do what you are seeking but I have never tried it. Have fun with it.

I'm not saying it won't work for chords but I don't think it does it very well, I think it's main priority is to create the illusion of a second guitarist for dual octave lead play. For about $50 more you can get a lexicon MX 200 that in my opinion does everything way better and it's not just a harmony pedal,it's a multi FX rackmount unit but it's lightweight and very simple to use. The harmony FX on it to me are much easier to use and sound a lot more correctly blended than the Boss Harmonist. You definitely get way way more for the money with the lexicon versus the boss,that is a promise.

I've used this for music projects. Though I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for good quality, here is a sample of how it sounds with guitar:https://soundcloud.com/benedicttoast/dinkleberg

Absolutely not! It couldn't even handle a single piano keyboard. It's alright for mids but terrible for lows and distorted for highs.

250 different "sounds" or instruments, but it excels at the piano sound. I am not crazy about the others. It has 128 notes of polyphony, which is good, but somewhere around 200 would be ideal for advanced players if you don't want some sustained notes to drop out during complex pieces. As far as key noise, there is a little, but not noticeable unless you have on headphones, and others are just listening to "key noise". Not really a problem. Overall I give it a 7 of 10, but if I were to do it again, would probably spend more on a more advanced keyboard without all the superfluous bells and whistles. 250 different "sounds" or instruments, but it excels at the piano sound.

The keys action is very different to a "real" piano. It takes a while to master it for expression. Depending on your use it might work.I use it for practice only. If you need to practice and them play a "real" piano afterward I would not advise it. The sounds are great if you use headphones.

Yeah it has a very good sound... I use this amplifier with a piano and you just need to equalize very good LOW, MID and HIGH depending on the type of instrument you are reproducing. Of course it is small, dont think that you are going to play in a concert with a lot of people, its more like just for you and practice with your band or monitor yourself...

My realization is that there is not substitute for continuos practice and music study. My experience with the Yamaha Education Suite (YES) has been limited, in part because whitout previous trainning it is difficult to take advantage of it. In summary, my opinion is that piano lessons are a requisite and the YES is a complement.

Yes, I have tuned 3 grand pianos and one spinet with this thing. It is not reliable in the upper or extreme lower register. You will have to tune by ear using the 21st. I use it on my harpsichord all the time--same problems in the extreme ends. It does really help nail that unison though. Hope that helps.

Sorry, but I cannot answer your inquiry about this unit as a vocal tuner, although tones are tones and it should work. It is an excellent tool for piano tuning, does a very pleasing job for my Yamaha upright.

Piano is really tough, since they are way louder than you think.I would put headphones on and do a sound check to make sure the recording levels are where you want them.But yes, the unit will give you a good medium fidelity recording. I have some pretty good condensor mics that I attach to the zoom and the resulting audio is WAY better than the compressed audio on a video camera. If you have the external condensor mics you will get good high fidelity audio.

Only if you're playing chords at the same time. If you're playing melody and hitting a chord every once in a while...it's not really the best.

It is "music wire" and should be fine on a piano for the higher notes that do not have wrapped strings. It should also be fine for multiple string notes as long as the wire diameter is correct.
