Very well.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
Wow.... not sure how I would answer that. This thing does so much it's a learning curve bigtime. I will say this though. I can't sing worth a crap but with this thing it's very passable. I was really surprised. I wish they would have put a USB Port from programming instead of MIDI. That's the only thing that's a let down about this.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
Manual is just a skeleton of it's features. It's not too hard out of box to use the presets but I've not gone through MIDI programming as of yet and probaby will never. I did not have any 386/486 computers that had MIDI I only have new stuff. My macbook Pro does not have a midi port.
Sound
How is the tone?
Well it creates many different tones. Very awesome.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Only had it a few weeks.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
Aside from the fact that you have to hook up MIDI to program it I think it is a great product and not too awful hard to use. You can tweak the presets with 4 knobs on the front so it's not too bad not having MIDI.

Pitch correction is outstanding and what I wanted it for - compared to the $249 TC Helicon foot pedal it is no comparison this ends up sounding much more polished and on key - worth the difference - wish I'd never gotten the other one

Takes a little learning but manual is short and in hindsight really didn't take that long

It seems to be made very well. Once in a while I have to reboot it. I'm hoping this is normal.

At the price drop this thing is a steal. It has so many nice features. The harmonies are excellent. So natural.Even though I can't use the software I don't really need it. I can control everything from the unit as an external hardware device.

This product is pretty easy to use. "Beware", the software editor is only compatible with certain midi interfaces. I'm using an M-Audio Ozone which doesn't work with their software.
I contacted "vyzor" support,they handle the software support, and they told me that I have to buy a midi interface that is compatible with their software. It seems it's my fault because my hardware, made by one of the leading midi interface manufacturers in the world,doesn't work with their software.
Can you tell I'm a bit ticked? BTW, they were not aware that my midi interface didn't work with their software until I contacted them.
Sound
How is the tone?
The sound is incredible. It will give you what you need for vocals. I can't imagine using anything else. It sure beats VST plugins
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I hope it will hold up. I'm only using it in a studio environment so it's not going to get banged around.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
This product is great except for the software.
