I am still searching for a rack module that just does acoustic and Elec
piano.. I tried the Motif ES but it was overkill. and expensive. Any
suggestions?

I have the Yamaha s90es and can say for certain it cuts through the mix and
sounds natural. I've owned the Kurz and Roland, and for pianos, for me, it's
Yamaha all the way!

basic Motif ES pianos with some beefed up EQ and multi-band

want a little fatter) but I think you'll find that's precisely why
they cut through. if you have something that sounds like a full,
fat Steinway grand, it won't cut through a rock mix.

or upgrade to the S90ES piano.
