[linux-audio-user] Which is the best way to simulate a real piano under gnu/Linux? Here's my proposal.

So far I have a nice (but not impressive) soundfont downloaded here:

http://www.hum.aau.dk/~bovbjerg/piano4.html

I'm on a 64k isdn connection so I can't download and try every free
sample on the net.
While experimenting to achieve a more natural sound I tried
dssi_convolve with some IRs downloaded from noisevault.com and got a
nicer result.

Now, I've just been inspired by the Florian Shmidth dssi_convolve entry
on his blog and I decided to create an om patch with everything I need
to have a realistic piano, with:

- the samples already loaded when I open the patch (I think I can use
fluidsynth-dssi, with a good soundfont);
- the patch will send the notes to two different responses according to
the state of the damper pedal (I'm not sure this could be done with om);
- it would be great to simulate also the resonance of other notes when
the damper pedal is pressed or other keys are already pressed;
- it would be great also to simulate a true hammer action;

I think it would be good for the community to have something similar or
better than the Steinberg The Grand VSTi. What's your opinion? Can you
help me?

Or I am doing something that's already been done? In this case, where
can I find it?

Regards,
c.
