This is now my go-to Rhodes and I don't see using anything else any time soon.
Just incredible. I guess if I took a long enough time I could come up with something to use a negative bullet point, but it's not worth it. If you are looking for any suitcase keyboard-type...

Just incredible. I guess if I took a long enough time I could come up with something to use a negative bullet point, but it's not worth it. If you are looking for any suitcase keyboard-type sound, you should try this one first because if you can't get the sound you are looking for with this, something must be wrong.

It's , difficult to transcribe the emotion felt under the fingers and between the ears.
tested under Reaper in my dedicated home studio, on PC win Akai MPK 88 -apollo twin->soundId-->Focal alpha 80
the presets are extremely well chosen to feel immediately the palette of the machine.
there is a sublime dynamic which allows the smoothness and the big to very big sound under the pressure of the fingers, and there we feel all powerful
The richness in the details is fabulousM. WRIGHT
Velocity?
If the playability had equaled the sounds I’d give it five stars, and buy it.
Despite the deal UAD are offering right now on this instrument I’ll be saving my money.
Very abrupt step between medium and full velocities makes it a twitchy ride. Hard to predict which notes of the chord will voice mellow and which will bark.
The sounds, amps and outboard work well but if you’ve ever played a Rhodes, you’ll be very puzzled indeed.C. HAYNES
