Default Making a digital piano sound more natural ?

Hi,

I'm pretty much stuck at using my Yamaha P-70 to record at the studio.
I have a mostly all analog setup, including tape machines and mixers,
add to this a few effects units, mics and compressor. It's all semi-pro
stuff and I usually track piano and do the vocal later. I'm a one
person recordist. I used to record on a pretty cheap upright, got rid
of it due to space constraints but I miss the way it sounded. My P-70,
and just about any digital piano I tried in store, sounded sterile and
thus my question as to any tips, that you may have, for example using
EQ on my board or anything that you can think of, to make the P-70
sound more realistic or genuine ? I tend to like recording dry with
just a bit of limiting on the transients, something you'd hear from the
50's, and I wish to make the P70 at least sound like it could pass
sounding like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Daniel
