I have to agree with the other folks here - you've just not going to get the
AN1X to do that. If you have a bit of money to spend, pick up a used Kurzweil
micropiano. It's ∗only∗ good for piano, but it does that ∗really∗ well. They
show up regularly on ebay, and if you're patient, you can get one for a couple
of hundred dollars.
