I listened to the Ballad strings again, I can't believe these convince you, as you like Kurzweil strings so much. What a difference. The Motif Romance Strings are not very realistic either, but to me the sample at least sounds more dense and not so airy.
Generally, for professional strings in hardware instruments, I would always look for additional libraries/ expansions, AFAIK these are the only ones that have separate section samples for violins, viola and celli each.




I've just listened to the strings again, and I see what you mean about Korg's sounding "airy". However, I still prefer them to Yamaha's. Korg's sounded more wet, so it's difficult to tell what they would sound like dry/dryer. In other videos I've posted, the Korg's strings sounded more full and rich. It all depends on which individual sounds they choose. On other Tyros demos, the strings sound kind of harsh and a little metallic. Let's be thankful for variety!
