The sounds and what options you have to tweak them inside the actual plug in are amazing. You don't need any external fxs. BUT it is buggy at times. And that constant level adjustment can get anoying but never the less this is amazing plugin with excellent sound.

Butter smooth sound, buggy performance
Pros:
Soundwize, it is very well representation of the real thing, with good option of built-in FX expected to be used alongside the MK1. Decent number of presets to help you starting an idea of a sound that you maybe looking for.
Cons:
After few minutes of being loaded into the DAW (Ableton 12.1 in my case), it starts to punish the CPU very hard, until everything becomes so laggy that the the whole project becomes unresponsive, if I don't unload it and load it back in after the first signs of lag...rinse and repeat.
I hope I'm just the unlucky one from the bunch.

Really Impressive
Difference maker. I own the ultimate bundle and I’d rate this in my top five favorite plugins. I wish UAD had a decent acoustic grand.

This the Rhodes you're looking for
This is the best EP I have ever heard for this price range. It's much better than the other brands and also on par with Keyscape. This is far cheaper than Keyscape though (while on sale), I can't recommend it enough.

Absolutely Love it
As someone who's always obsessed over an accurate Rhodes recreation, I can honestly say this is the first time I truely felt like I finally owned a 'real Rhodes'. i've used other good products, but I was always left even partially wanting something a little closer. i don't feel that way anymore with the Electra 88. I can put this one to bed finally.

Pleasing tonality..very nice on the ears
I am a long time UAD customer and fan...they have done dreamwork for home studio enthusiasts like myself. But it is wonderful they keep coming up with excellent and exciting stuff.. I just heard this electric piano after i bought this upgrade yesterday. It is absolutely fabulous and i instantly fell in love with the sound quality and tone of this plugin. MAGIC to my ears and kudos to the creative people at UA!

Does what it has to do. Deliver the sound
This VST does what it has to do and that's give me the sound i'm looking for. Had no problems at all on mac mini M2 installing it and working with it.

Tried and bought immediately. Note to UAD: You should make an acoustic guitar emulator.
This is the first virtual instrument I've ever bought immediately on demoing it: Electra 88 Keyboard, also Waterfall Organ and then Waterfall Rotary Speaker. All amazing, almost the second I dropped them into my mix. Instantly legitimate sound.
I'm writing this review to praise it, but also in hopes that Universal Audio will hear my plea for a next-level acoustic guitar emulator (play electric, get acoustic sound). Something better and different than all the other acoustic guitar simulators, something that takes the signal from an electric guitar and then models it through some old vintage blues acoustics, nashville dreadnaughts etc. It would be amazing for in the box recording.
Thanks UA, this stuff is great.

Full on
Nice, warm, vibe rich sounds with lots of extra goodies to sculpt and shape with.

Unresolved Issue
there is an internally issue that still hasn't been resolved. This makes it practically unusable.

Desaster....
Well, since I bought Electra 88, I've been trying to download it with UA connect, which I had to reinstall three times (advised by the service robot) with no result, so I don't even know what it's sound like.. .
Sorry for the bad information, but this is nothing more than a cry of despair, since I can't find anyone who can help me....Too bad !

A worthwhile addition!
This instrument has the vibe. Other offerings I've tried were a bit limited. Electra 88 seems to fill in where others have been lacking I've found this to be a wonderful addition to instrument library.

A ver good sounding plug in
I have an original Rhodes mk1 here - the plug in needs more eq in the lows, but its a fantastic well coded plugin. Thx 4 the hard work.
