Very good, thanks for the clarifications.

Most voice samples with all DSP effects removed are pretty dry and sound similar between arrangers. The only voices or in the case of the Tyros that might have some natural reverb added to samples is maybe some pipe organ samples and perhaps the real drum and real brushes drum kits.

I did notice sometimes too much reverb or natural ambiance added to the audio drum parts, where obviously you cannot remove that reverb. However, I found the Tyros 5 Real Reverb DSP to be extremely realistic reproducing ambiance situations to the dry sample voices to lessen the default overall DSP processing to replicate an nice live sounding environment.

Leaning more towards the fuller Yamaha processed sound for my needs, I do respectfully agree that Korg has that nice live feel. However, just as you can add more DSP processing to the default Korg sound, one can also remove some Yamaha processing. As real as audio samples are, matching the ambiance in all the mix sometimes needs work.
