Although the Pianet strikes me as a bad Rhodes (boy, that's redundant) that 
sounds more like the problem of a band choosing material they weren't equipped 
to do, not a fault of the instrument.  If you can't make a song sound right 
because of equipment limitations, choose another song.  


 
Like playing "Night In White Satin" with a Farfisa organ in the band?  LOL
 
Actually, it overall sounded pretty good, dominated by guitar, bass, drums, 
and vocals, with the Pianet providing the steady rhythmic pattern IN THE 
BACKGROUND, as the VCS3 did in the original recording.  Frankly, the audience really 
didn't give a shit because they loved the song and usually tore the place 
apart.  You still knew it was there, though, and I always found myself craving a 
50/50 bar after we finished the song!
