Topic: If your stuff sounds good on a console, it'll sound good anywhere
I was trying to get a "worst case scenario" piano. The dreaded, badly maintained spinet/console. The tuning is whack and tension chords sound bad, the tones die out so fast you're forced to play lots of notes.. and worst of all, no matter how you change the touch, it all sounds just about the same. Have you played a piano like that? I certainly have. It was a spinet that, for some reason, was in my language arts classroom... had to be the worst I've ever played. lol (incedentaly, I just friended my language arts teacher on facebook.... almost 15 years after graduating!)
Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to model that sound, and see if I could get anything to sound half decent on it. I'm still not too good at playing (I compose) but it's good to be able to make stuff sound good in a wide range of situations. Another interesting way "modeling" pianos can be used.

btw, does it annoy people that I post stuff about my patches? IMHO, I wish more people would post details about their patches.
