At the risk of sounding like an idiot... here goes... I am going to have a hard time articulating this question. It has to do with setting up two keyboards in such a way that they sound good when playing them together.

I have a PSR3000 and a KORG PA1XPRO. I play both of them concurrently, mixing and matching RH LH. There has been a lot of banter on here of which is better, Yamaha or Korg. They are both great, and both have strong points and weakensses. For some songs, the rich styles of the Yamaha sound great, and i play the melody line on the Korg with my RH. Sometimes, the simpler styles of the Korg show more seperation and are better suited for a particular song, and I play the Yamaha in the RH using some of the richer brass solo sounds or the heavenly pads for example. So the bottom line is that I interchange a lot between the two boards.

Here is my question. How can I make the two instruments sound more cohesive when playing them together. What do i mean by cohesive?

Here's where I am goign to have a hard time explaining myslef... It seems that most of the time when playing the 2 instruments together, that the sounds of the Korg sound very close, and in your face with a high degree of 'presence', while the Yamaha sounds like they are more distant, or has less 'presence'. When I use the Yamaha for the accompanyment with my LH, and play the Korg with my RH it seems the Korg sounds don't match well with the Yahmaha because of this difference in 'presence'. I tried putting more reverb on the Korg, but that does not really do anything to address this differential in presence issue as i hear it. I don't know what to do on the Korg to make the sounds not so 'in your face' so that they sound better when played with the Yamaha?

Does my question make any sense to any of you pro's? What kind of effect processor could I put on my Korg sounds to help make the two instruments sound more cohesive?

Thanks for your help, Russ
