there have been some recent songs with some very nice sounding synth pianos, but they all have post processing. this is just a synth preset. (w/a reverb) i have spent dozens of hours perfecting this through seven versions to finally reach what i am convinced is the best piano preset on audiotool. feel free to add post processing to create a vibe that fits your song, but none is needed :D enjoy at community!
PS - i added the top ten piano presets on AT for comparison. mine is the first.
this is more of an electric piano, which is far less impressive

you nailed the tone of a piano, but the resonance is off and it doesn't sound good across the upper octaves. this one may not perfectly match the tone of a grand piano, but it still sounds like a piano across the octaves. i would love to have a preset that has both, but so far, i haven't found one. if you could make one, that would be fantastic :)

you might be surprised that i actually did, i think around 2017-18 ish? i made one purely out of the heisenburg. It wasn't perfect of course, nothing of that nature is.
i am in no way discrediting this attempt. it is good, just not the "best" on audiotool.

I'll see about dumping a midi
this one is more on the minimal end with less effects so this will be more straightforward
good to see more piano/electric piano in the community

Good initiative to take up the challenge :) To add depth, harmonics are essential to the piano sound, so maybe you can use at least 1 oscillator for that, or some detuning. Also, try to use LFOs/envelopes to create a slight and evolving vibration. The vibrato of the Quasar can be useful too. And I'd suggest adding a slight noise and a quick pitch bend at the attack, to remind of the hammer hitting the string when the key is pressed

I would add some depth to the sound, in the high frequencies it is a bit reminiscent of the sound of the harpsichord. I didn't have time to take a closer look at the parameters in the studio. To be more precise I would have to use it in a project. That said, it remains good work. and above all I applaud you for working on the synths instead of just using samples, as I unfortunately see all too often.

this smooth
I'ma remix this. o^o
