A lot of googling yesterday brought up http://www.mortmain.com/synth.html Scrolling down a bit, you come to "Synthesizing Pianos" According to this page, creating the sound of an acoustic piano on a softsynth is all but impossible, as the acoustic insrument is so complex. Be that as it may though, I think perhaps my patches could be improved with a bit of help. Just trying to get the knowhow in creating patches.
