Realistic piano sounds on the D50?  HA HA HA HA HA HA WOO hee hee
hee....

Sorry, I guess by now you have realized that there really isn't a
credible piano in the D50 to save its life.  There are some really
good Fender Rhodes patches around though.  One of the thrid-party
vendors out there has a killer patch but I don't recall who.  You can
probably whip one up by experimentation that will suit your needs.

The D50 has a lot of great pads, strings and some wild synth stuff but
only a half dozen or so acceptable realistic anythings.
