Good Piano Sound

What's up people?
I need your help...can somebody recommend me a soft-synth which has a good piano sound to it?
Or if anybody can help achieve a realistic piano sound...I would really appreciate it
Thanx

I heard that mda piano is quite good. That is an VST plugin,so U can use it with Fruity Loops for example

I'm also looking for some decent sounding pianos but any of the VST;s I have can't provide the piano sounds I need. I would buy Steinberg's Grand Piano, it's awesome but just too expensive .
Hmm.. Read some stuff about the mda-piano, sounds promising....

Yep, I tested that mda VSTi a bit and definitely would recommend it too. It's a freeware but quite good actually, atleast sounds a bit like real piano.

Soundfonts are the way to go. Stienberg's The Grand VSTi is just a big soundfont player, really. Just download a few huge Soundfonts, and you're away.

mda-piano is crap, if you want a free real paino sample, you should
download "SampleTank 1.1.4 free" and download the free paino sample.

go HERE

if the free paino don't sound good enough for ya, PM me and I will rip some of the paino samples from SampleTank XL CDs and OmniSynth,
them ones sound just like the real thing

I take my words back, mda-piano really sounds too "plastic" so what the hell I was thinking .

Heh, SampleTAnk piano is pretty nice compared mda , thanks.

Steinberg VST - Fender Rhodes Stage Piano Mk I

That one sounds like a real piano.
It looks like shit, but the sound is ok
I have a 845 kb Zip, so if you want it, pm me.
