Want to give your keyboard's piano a soundboard?

Many companies go about this by reverb, and that don't go very far. Yamaha S90ES and the Gem Promega 3 are made to create the soundboard. Other boards try doing this but, they don't match a piano. I have a Roland Juno-D, and you probably have a?, but we don't have an S90ES or a Promega3. This is what you need to do;
1. You must have a programmable synth that has voices that can have 2 tones, elements or what ever else they are called.
2. take the 1st tone and set the attack to -64.
3. take the other tone and set the attack above 0, no more than 15.
4. turn the reverb off
5. play around with the sound, if it is to bright or dull, adjust the cutoff
6. gradully add a minimum amount of effects.

This is not your everday Piano sound, but it is good for classical, or if you must have a piano sound.

Reply and tell me how it worked for you, tell me if there was any further tweaking needed, If I make any improvements, I'll let you know.

- Attack should be +30 for the other tone.
- Add a hall effect (hall 2 on a juno) that will further enhance the soundboard.

THIS IS A EVERYDAY PIANO SOUND, I LIKE IT THE BEST NOW.
