I'm thinking about focusing on worship and gospel music, when I practise playing the piano. Any suggestions for presets, or tweaking? I was thinking NY Steinway D Classical, or even a Blüthner preset. I only have the Steinway Ds, Steingraeber and Blüthner. I'm guessing a certain brightness might be desirable, is that so?
Maybe a more spacy reverb will help.
You can also try to change the temperament to meantone to prefer some certain keys instead of having all keys equally in tune (or out of tune)

Along those lines, if you’re open to using plugins, Valhalla Supermassive is free and sounds nice for big spacey reverbs. Shimmer reverbs also seem to be pretty popular with worship music. You can make them yourself pretty easily — here’s an example in Ableton:
I'd prefer not to add external plugins (requires a DAW, I assume), but I'll try that different tuning, and the built-in church reverb, or any of the reverbs.
Sunday Sounds as video above has a pre-made template for mainstage which is very nice and it is easy to swap the pianos in the templates for pianoteq. I have been doing this for a while. The pianos in the template aren't bad but pianoteq is much nicer. I just pick a similar named sound from pianoteq. Mainstage loads the plugin version of pianoteq.
