The VL2 is gear that doesn't talk, so you must memorize menus and such, along with working from notes. The older VoiceWorks modules are not so easy to work from the panel, as you work most of them with two buttons and a knob. I managed to edit on mine, but it wasn't easy. The VoiceLives have many more dedicated controls, so editing is easier, but there is more to edit. They're way more complicated than the VoiceWorks: triple the harmonizer/doubler voices, more input effects, 3 aux effects units instead of 2, a separate 3 effects chain just for guitar, several pitch correctors instead of the one in the VoiceWorks, etc. VL2 sounds better than anything I've ever heard. You sing in to it, and can get vocals out that sound like they've already been mixed. Is the ultimate for live use. Great for use with a Motif. VoiceWorks isn't as powerful, but is probably better if you're working at home, since you have your DAW to mix the vocals, and the ViceWorks has an accessible editor. It's also about half as much money.

Is it any more accessible and consequently easier to use fully for a totally blind person than the voiceworks plus. I have a voiceworks plus, and have never been able to use it fully, key setting, playing in harmonies etc. I want to buy a voice live 2. I've heard demos and it sounds like a nice piece of kit. If the demonstrator was to be believed it's much more intuitive than the voiceworks plus, and so doesn't require the amount of manual setting. Is that the case? John.
