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.

From my googling, creating the sound of an
acoustic piano is all but
impossible with a softsynth, but something near to it would be nice.
Depends on the softsynth ;-)
In general it's really difficult to generate a piano sound with any kind
of synthesizer. Most synths that do it really well tend to use samples
of pianos. Even the venerable Ensoniq ESQ1 managed a decent acoustic
piano only through the use of a massive piano multisample.
