Did someone force you to buy it at gunpoint? Or did you willingly open up your wallet to pay for something that you didn't check out in advance? Caveat Emptor.

That's a coincidence. I don't appreciate newbies who waste everyone's time by buying ROMplers that don't have the sounds they like, then expect other people to have magic patches that will fix their own mistake. Take it back to the store if you're not happy with it. Or did you make another big newbie mistake of buying a keyboard in a manner where you can't return it for a refund?

I prefer newbies who actually bother to listen to the keyboard they intend to buy, before they buy it, so that they get what they want. I want them to be happy with their purchase. Then they won't have to come here trying to change something that can't be changed. The basic character of a piano sound depends on the sample, and you can't change the samples on a ROMpler. All you can do are relatively minor changes, such as changing the effects and the envelopes. But you haven't said what you don't like about the piano sound, so there's not much to suggest other than returning it to the store and buying something else that has a piano sound you prefer.

What about ROMpler don't you understand? The X50 piano sound comes from a multisample that's in READ ONLY MEMORY. It can't be changed. It can only be modulated, which isn't the same thing. You can't add other piano sounds to the X50. All programs must start with the built in samples. The X50 only has 3 acoustic piano samples, and that's all it's ever going to have.

i understand as u ve said that i cant change sample,i dont want to do that.

What's "more natural" mean to you? It's meaningless unless you say what you mean by that. There's no "More Natural" parameter that can be boosted from 0 to 127.

The X50 isn't the best keyboard for producing accurate piano sounds. And several other factors come into play here... including your playing style and the amplification + speakers you are using. If you are running the X50 through a cheap 40 watt keyboard amp, it's going to sound like crap.

Next, since you can't add new samples to the X50, the only choice you have is to tweak (modify) the piano sounds yourself. You can try different piano waveforms, filter settings and effects (especially reverb) for starters. I've created convincing piano patches with my old Triton Classic by layering different piano sounds in a combination.

You better start tweaking those sounds yourself like we said, opening the manual for the first time, and begin learning how your X50 works..... you've only got 1 day left to your gig. Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no ow ow eee oww
ow ow ow eee oww

I agree with xmlguy here. It took time (and reading the manual) for me to create those piano sounds. You won't learn anything if someone else does the work.

Rly i cant get u people , i m short wiht my time cuse we r practicing almoust all day long and i dont have time for manul now.

If the possibility of an epic failure on stage isn't enough to drive you to start learning how your keyboard works, then nothing will.

Hopefully someone will video it and post the FAIL to Youtube, so that others can benefit from your continuous mistakes. Hopefully you'll do a cover of "The Final Countdown", because the old video is getting a little tired:

We don't want other keyboardists to fail. But if we can't convince you that you need to learn to program your keyboard instead of looking for patches, and you fail as a result, then it isn't beneath us to enjoy laughing at the consequences you deserve from your choice to ignore us.

We've paid our dues. We know how to program our synths. I've been programming my X50 since 2007.

gliamanti, your concert isn't our responsibility. Why would buy a synth for pianos if you didn't like its pianos?
