Sorry about that Larry, It appears to lower 5 and 10 a half step.

Will someone please post or e-mail me a few licks (with a little context) using the VK. My carter has one but I've never attempted to use it. I don't really know what it does.

My advice is to quit learning licks and learn your scales. All of the licks you are "learning" are made up of scales. Learn them forwards,backwards and upside down and
