I love the brightness of the Yamaha piano as it cuts so well through the mix and works very well with the accompaniment.

Piano sound is very subjective...some like the perceived warmth of Roland, and most of us prefer Yamaha's stronger presence.

If you want to soften the Yamaha Live! Grand sound, for jazz or pop ballads, just go to MIXING CONSOLE...Tab over to FILTER and turn down the BRIGHTNESS to around 52...store in a registration or your OTS...works for me.
