I need some realistic piano sounds and > some E-piano (Fender Rhodes) sounds. 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.
