cannot improve the thin Grand Piano sound

This is decent sounding board. I plan to upgrade to a more professional board, as one of my big disappointments with this is how thin the grand piano sounds. I tried layering other acoustic pianos but it just creates a slightly more detailed yet still thin piano sound. Has anyone found a layer combination that works for piano?

This guy has layered his piano sound to his liking:

I'll take another look at mixing a brighter piano with a mellower one. Some of those Casio's have pretty decent pianos.

Just wondering if you have tried running through an amp. I know it sounds totally different through my Peavey KB2 vs built in speakers.

I bet it would sound different through an amp. I don't have an amp to try this. I will try it with a small set of external monitors. Leaning to upgrading sound capability with a MODX synth, will have to do without the styles and auto-accompaniment.

Are you listening to the piano in mono? Doing this can certainly make the piano sounds quite thin. Most of the piano sounds have been created with stereo in mind.

Not using any of the sounds in mono. I don't even know where that setting is. They are all coming out in nice stereo through the built-in speakers. It's just the piano sound you get for a $450 do-it-all consumer level type of keyboard. Just upgraded to a MODX, the pianos and choirs are in another league. Will sell the EK-50 but will miss it's top quality Styles, and most of the instruments are quite nice, except for piano and choir. Really nice sound at this price range.
