    I want to ask you guys, do you know any piano plugins that sound less electronic? Everything I use on FL studio seem to sound very electronic.

    It would be even better if you could tell me some free ones I could download from the internet.

    Basically, you get what you pay for.

    methinks you won't get a decent free piano VST on the web.
    Getting a hardware Yamaha A4000 with its sample CD's might be a cheap option, they sound really good to me, but if you want a decent VST piano you're gonna have to pay for it.

    Go to newsagent.

    Buy current Computer Music magazine

    It's about as good as you can get for free.

    You'll get some good piano soundfonts though. Generally anything about 20 megs or so will sound convincing.

    GIGA Continuous Velocity Piano The world's first instrument utilizing GIGA's Spectral Morphing technology instead of massive multisampling. This instrument utilizes only a single velocity sample, which is precisely and continuously expanded via the Spectral Interpolate Velocity (SIV) mode of GIGA's Spectral Morphing filters, to cover the full dynamic range, pp to ff, it is a FREE download from the TASCAM website.

    Truepianos is the one. The most playable / realistic piano I know of. Not free though.

    It's not 100% perfect, but it is SO playable and sounds good.

    I've just stumbled upon the Superwave P8 - a VST based on the Roland JP-8080

    Download link is here :-

    I can't help loving the thick 80's sounds I can get from it

    I Like the 80,s bass on the superwave, a bit of tinkering and it rinses out your speakers!
