     What I am looking for is the sort of attack that you find on acoustic string
     instruments. The plucked and struck sounds among the presets have fairly hard and
     flat attacks, which is no doubt intentional. Acoustic instruments have rounder
     and fuller attacks. Play some deep note on a piano, guitar or plucked double
     bass, and it has that DZOOM or JING sound which is probably produced through
     some complex interplay between high and low harmonics. I would like to
     see good ideas on how to achieve this.

     More generally, what I want is keyboard sounds that are good for accompaniment.
     The el-pianos among the presets are not bad, but I would also like to have
     a more pungent rock sound - maybe Fender Rhodes is what I have in mind, I am
     not sure.

     Try picking up this freeware spectrogram program.

     It will map out the frequency content of a given sample over time.

     I've only played with it a little bit a while ago, but it seems like it should
     be a very useful tool for emulating a waveform on the K5000. I think we could also
     give it a try on our piano sample.

     Has anybody else seen any other tools that might help along this line???
