You seem to have missed the point behind the humor. The AN1x is unsuited to emulating a 
realistic, acoustic piano. This is a limitation of the VA technology, not a matter or hubris or 
disinterest in your goal.

You CAN arrive at a serviceable rendition of Rhodes and other digital emulations - and, as 
Jimmy suggested, there are many examples of such efforts in the Voices directory of the Files 
section for AN1x-list here at Yahoo! Groups. 

With practice, you might arrive at a facsimile of an analog 'piano' type sound, but it will not 
be a convincing replica of an acoustice piano. This is best suited for a ROMpler or sampler - 
to insist otherwise is unproductive at best, naive at worst.
