Hey thanks for the reply.

Yeah I think it's just Yamaha. Yamaha does have a very bright sound but also, their samples are much higher quality than Roland or Korg. Try listening to a Roland Fantom with headphones- horrible. The samples are all compressed and buzzy- sounds like a toy. All Roland stuff is like that- from the XV series racks and the Fantom series. Its funny because I spent 2 hours this weekend trying to rectify my problem. I programmed some new Rhodes sounds. The funny thing about the Motif is there are like a bunch of different ways to EQ a sound. There's one global EQ in Utility, one EQ in voice edit Common and one EQ in per element in voice edit. Kinda overly confusing. I still think the Motif is best though. There's nothing else on the market that can touch it. Sometimes when I find a voice is too bright if EQ ing doesn't work I'll go into the Element layer for say a hard velocity sample that is bugging me and I'll change it to one that is less annoying or I'll sometimes take the Filter Cutoff down a little bit and use the filter to dull up the sound a bit. Try that on the piano, it might help.
