Anyway I'm curious exactly what sound you're after. Do you have a link for a song where the piano stands out? (Or does this song you're covering contain the kind of sound you're after.)

Thanks for your notes! Very helpful. Sincerely.
I'm going for the latter sound. It's a thick, full, percussive sound. I did humanize the velocity, but it does sound robotic doesn't it? It's meant to hit hard, but I can't deny it's verging on "pounding" at the moment. "Poky" is a good descriptor. I know exactly to what you're referring.
I'm a bit backward on velocities. What range would you say is natural?
