The tone control doesn't seem to make much difference to the sound on my M400, which is so bright as to be positively incandescent. Is this a fault on my machine or a difference between the Mark VI and the M400?

3 Violins on the MK VI sound very bright with the tone control at 10.
(Especially through a good keyboard amp or studio monitor). I
usually set the tone control at 3 or 4. I think that the MK VI 3V
tapes are copied from the MK II 3V master tapes, so that will make a
difference too.

Whatever the case, ya gotta press the right keys at the right time or
it will sound like shit.
