You guys have really got me looking into Helicon's processors. They look like a lot of fun and could really open up some new avenues for me to get into vocals. While I'm not interested in looping, harmonies and correction do interest me. I read their manuals, watched all their vids; but do have a few questions....

1. Playing keys with BIAB backing, I like the idea of rack mount and not having to step on switches. However, it looks like only the VoiceLive Touch, VoiceLive 2, VoiceLive Extreme and the VoiceLive Rack (which I can't afford) are the only ones that can be updated with Helicon's newer updates and presets. It appears that VoiceWorks and VoiceWorks Plus cannot be updated. Is this right?

2. They seem to be pushing the VoiceLive units over the others based on press releases, vids, etc. Does that mean that these are the newer units in their product line?

3. Based on their forums and others, it appears that the learning curve is lower for the VoiceLive units than the VoiceWorks units. What are your thoughts on that?

3. They talk about new Gen 4 algorithms...are VoiceLive units the only products with the newer technology?

4. It also looks like the VoiceLive are the only ones that have an auxillary input where you could input an MP3 player. Is that right?

5. In the end, it appears that VoiceWorks is more for studio work and the VoiceLive units are more for live vocals but both do the same thing. Other than looping, am I missing something here?

6. It appears that the VoiceWorks units have a much lower price point, I can't help but think I must be missing something somewhere on the VoiceLive units.
