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.
