How did you load the Voices to USER 4? If in a manner that could have changed system Parameters (such as Velocity Curve), then that might affect the sound of Preset Voices.

You’re welcome.
Â
Loading single Voices in the manner you described (and making no other changes) shouldn’t have affected the sound of any Preset Voices. Is it possible that the newly loaded Piano Voices sound significantly better to you, and that by comparison you’re not satisfied with the Preset pianos? Also, I noticed that you had referred to the “Full Grand” Voice. That’s the name of the PRE1 A01 Voice in the Motif ES. The XF Voice in that position is “Full Concert Grand” - is that the one you mean, or did you have the ES Voice loaded in a USER location? |

I don’t dismiss that the sound was affected, but simply loading Voices to a User bank and/or installing Samples/Waveforms to a flash module will not affect a Preset Voice. Something else was changed. Should you ever run into this situation again, if you save and post an “All” file it should be possible to examine it and determine what has happened. |

See page 241 of the XF Reference Manual (http://download.yamaha.com/file/48531). Save it “without sample”. ZIP the resulting X3A file, and attach it to a message. |

Thanks for posting your “All” file. Whatever problem you’re experiencing isn’t evident when I load the file to my own XF. The Full Concert Grand (PRE 1 A01) Voice sounds as it should to me.
Differences I see from a factory reset are…
Other Utility/System settings, including Master Effects/EQ and Velocity Curve, appear to be normal. ----------------- If anyone else loads ted81‘s file and finds the PRE 1 A01 (Full Concert Grand) Voice sounds different than after a factory reset, please let us know. |

Just to make sure we haven’t missed anything… Which mode are you playing Full Concert Grand in - Voice, or something else?
Not that I’m aware of older OS versions causing what you’ve described, but which one is installed on your XF? To check the OS version…

Version 1.12 (ignore the second decimal and anything after it) is an old version. There have been a few newer versions that fixed bugs and added features. I’m not saying that updating the OS will fix your current issue, but there are other reasons to do so. The most recent version is 1.50 - it includes new effects, and Yamaha provided new Voices using those effects.
