mixing keys

I am having trouble mixing keyboard sounds, namely organs, with mic'ed sources such as vox and guitar cab. The organ sounds pretty OK to me through the headphones by itself, but as soon as it's in a mix it sounds crappy, artificial, sort of like a video game or something. It's not a supercheap keyboard (roland jv-80 with organ + rhodes expansion card). Is there some way to use signal processing to mix digital and mic'ed tracks so they... match better? I've been messing with the parametic eq (protools le) and compression (RNC), reverb (software and external) even my guitar pedal (Boss multi-fx, don't remember the model # but it's shitty) and I can't get it to sound like it belongs.

are you using di's? also could you just run the keyboards into a clean-ish (maybe less clean for rock b-3 sounds) amp and mic that?

Key frequencies may be getting masked by other tracks. Try sweeping a parametric EQ (set to "cut") on some of the other instruments and see if your organ sound "reappears".
