The five Yamaha keyboards I owned had the same aggressive bass problem. But that is what I hear when listening to contemporary music. Bass and drums out front.
One down, one to go!
Don't Yamaha's have an EQ for each Style Part? Rather than gut the arranger by EQ'ing the whole thing, isn't the problem solved best by EQ'ing the problem only?
One of the issues with arrangers with speakers built in is, what do you voice the arranger for? Do you set up the styles and Part EQ's to make it sound its best on the built in speakers (which is probably what the majority of buyers will be playing it through - most of them aren't pros!) or do you voice it for a full range high power PA, or do you set it up for flat nearfield studio monitors?
Big difference between all three.
Might be nice if there were computer tools that allowed you to alter the EQ for each sound, then either store it, or apply that change to every Performance that uses that sound. Yamaha got this? If they do, there's the solution... And especially with a 'batch processor' approach, this makes it easy to set up Performance list duplicates, with the EQ's dialed in for each type of speaker system you are using.
