Topic: FXP that sounds like cheap digital piano

I have Kawai ES100 and very like its piano sound. I don't how to describe it correctly, but Pianoteq has very "grand", rich sound (seems because its model realy expensive grands). I feel its volume and depth even when disable reverb and delay. In contrast, ES100 has cheap digital piano sound, but sampled and with good quality. And most digital pianos 1000-2000$ have, basically, similar sound, just timbre slightly changed.

You can listen demos here.

To make FXP that sounds like ES100 I tried D4/K2/Bluethner with disabled delay and reverb, decreased resounances, increased hammer hardness (ES100 very birght), decreased dynamics, decreased notes durations... but they still sounds like rich grands.

Sorry if you can't understand me. Don't answer in this case

I don't know how to make that.

No need to answer "I don't know" to a forum question.

It's seems I found the solution: almost the same hammer hardness on piano, mezzo and forte. It's the main change, also needed other adjystments: decreased resonances, delay and reverb, etc.
