MIDI FX that allow you to control the "velocity" map of your controller can push the volumes down too and help you play "softer" and bring out the low volume tones even with a cheaper controller that doesn't have 3-level key sensors to interpret a light touch. You might also slope back the attack on the "instrument volume" page and get more of a softer hammer sound that a classic German Dark piano would typically be set up with by the technician. It's an effect I'd never have thought to apply to piano but when I did it was amazing how the frequency spectrum shifted to the darker, softer style of the German Grands. If you use too much it will stop sounding like a natural piano but just a touch works wonders. that brings up the resonance of the bass end and tends to cancel out most of the higher frequencies. Phasers mix multiple copies of the same audio source shifted slightly. Using the AudioLayer FX tools (EQ and just a touch of the Phaser) can reduce the highs and make them dark and intimate. These adjectives are loaded with personal meanings that we might not agree on. FX in AudioLayer and additional AUv3 FX Apps. None of them come across as intimate but I think FX can really help. Salamander and the Yamaha C5 are pretty bright. So if you would, which of those pianos might fit the OP's request for "not overly bright, but rather dark, intimate " piano?
