You probably have one voice bad. I have the same problem w/ my 106.
Only mine sounds louder and more raspy, like its missing high pass
filtering. In mine it is voice six, and due to the voice assignment
algorithm, rarely gets used. In Poly-I mode, assignment is 
round-robin, except once a voice is assigned to a key, it is always
used for that key.

Try playing a note, and without releasing play a second and hold, 
third, etc. This will let you know which voice is screwed up. 

I haven't gotten around to fixing mine, I just use Poly-II mode, 
which favors reassigning lower numbered voices, and never play
more than five notes at a time :-)
