Have any one noticed this:
When speaking og singin also without the voiceprocessor I have a delay from the mic. input to the output.

And what can I do about it ?

I know what you mean. It doesn't sound delayed on mine, but it definitely sounds processed even though I have all effects turned off.

I guess Korg is just using the voice module to tease us. What are we supposed to do, go out an buy a real Helicon unit? Sheeesh! What next?

With any vocal harmonizer, there is a millisecond or so of delay so it can "read" your signal. To some, this may sound like a chorused effect, or a perceivable delay, but to others, it may be barely noticeable, if at all. I've been using harmonizers for over 30 years, so I guess I'm very used to it. It believe the TC processor in the Korg arrangers is the best available, and almost as good as the stand alone units, like the (awesome) Voice Live-3. (which I own, and LOVE)
With anything digital, there will be some processing that is applied to the tone.
If you're new to the harmonizer, I think you'll find that time will allow you to make peace with the tone, and you can tweak it to a comfortable level.

I've never used one, so that's good to know. Is the voice live 3 easier to use?

The VL-3 is indeed, awesome, but no, it's not easier to use than the onboard unit in your keyboard. I bought it because I play gigs on guitar too, and I needed a reliable system to control harmonies, and provide looping for solo work. The VL-3 is very deep, and menu driven, and if you've never had a vocal processor, this is a pretty big step to venture into. I suggest learning the on board system. It's really a great tool, and you've already paid for it!
lol

Would it be possible to use the Voice processor AS an send return effekt from my mixer ? - then i would only have delay on the Voice processor and not on my mic signal ?
