Hi! I think, I know that swami pays attention to attack and decay. About simple sustainpedal: It's the way it is, mostly. Good for painos, but not for strings. So try swami or linuxsampler. If you can afford to invest a bit of money, I think there are nice string ensembles, that work with it. There are also a few very handsome pianos for linuxsampler. For soundfonts there are a few very OK pianos and e-pianos. Besides that you can use ZynAddSubFX ,which can react tomidi-controls and it has a lot of controls on its GUI. Besides that, there are a lot of beautiful presets for it. I think the same goes for alsamodular synth, although I don't know how much it works with the software today. Didn't hear about it for some time. Those are all likely possibilities, which you can control rather easily and which offer good sounds.
