Excellent Rhodes Instrument
There are obviously many elec piano plug ins but the weakness is often the top end. The UAD version really gets that right. It bites and rings like a real Rhodes. It’s also a huge time...

Update. I did give 2 or 3 stars before but I refuse. Customer service here sucks.
UAD has made so much money off of us, they feel obviously they don't have to communicate with the customers. I called the support number and it directed me to got to a support website. where the still don't interact with the customer. I love your products but if you all are too busy or to BIG I'd say to speak with the customer then this will be my last purchase ever. I never had this problem with Waves Audio, and they even reached back out to me. Now I've purchased the Electra 88 and the download keeps pausing at 15%. I was frustrated now I'm upset after calling and them telling me to go to a website and call will automatically disconnect, Like Really, you don't want to talk to your customers. I'm sure they reach out to the Big Time producers or whatever. I regret purchasing anything from you all. Really!

I have never had problems with any other UAD plugin. But this. I listened to the Electra 88 in the video on your website and it sounded so natural, I had to make the purchase. Not sure what's going on but, I've been trying to download it since last night and it's still not downloaded. What is the problem??? This makes no since. I've started the download over several times. and it doesn't go past 15% download smh I'm frustrated and disappointed.

Excellent Rhodes Instrument
There are obviously many elec piano plug ins but the weakness is often the top end. The UAD version really gets that right. It bites and rings like a real Rhodes. It’s also a huge time saver that all the extras you would use with a Rhodes, like pedals and rack effects are built in and ready to go. Overall the sound, interface, and ease of use are excellent. Another banger from UAD.

Doesn’t even work
Don’t buy this it doesn’t even show up and when you email UA they don’t respond.

Road to Rhodes heaven...
Great design throughout - visually striking, extremely intuitive and fast workflow. All the top gear in the room with you, including mikes, leslie, stomp boxes, and studio rack effects. Incredible value. I love that you can set the general sensitivity curve so you can match all patches easily to the sensitivity of the particular keyboard you are using. My favourite rhodes plugin by far!

Excellent Sound
This plugin has the almost same as 1974 Fender Rhodes sound what I once had.
J. Burman
The Best!
The best sounding electric piano I`ve tried, ever!
S. Echevarria
Amazing!
I love the amp options. Great for live. Bough it and went straight into my live rig.

Something with the velocity curve, hard attack in logic pro low latency mode.
I really like the sound, features and effects!!! Of this plugin. A little bit restricted to one basic sound (model) in my opinion, as compared to Keyscape’s different models.
But one thing that really bothers me is that in use with NI Komplete Komtrol S61mkii and logic pro in low latency mode, I get an uneven attack response which results in nearly uncontrollable produced hard attacks of the sound, there is no even velocity balance curve there. And since I can play it only in Low latency mode, it is quite unusable. Universal Audio really needs to fix this ! ! !A. Zhulin
Amazing!
I have the analog version, it's done very similar
A. Kittelsen
The real thing
It sounds very authentic and it is a big pluss with the pedals and the outboard studiogear. Great
M. Gustavsson
The only rhodes you ever need
I have every rhodes plugin on the planet and some of them sounds really good. The problem is that each production require a specific sound and i have to go through every plugin. With uad i have so many options soundwise within one plugin wich saves me so much time. And i can play it with zero latency.

best rhodes vst
love it!
S. Slater
The best rhodes/elec piano VST out there
Dont waste your time looking for alternatives, this is honestly an incredible VST. With so many tools to customise your sound, and with loads of genuinely fantastic pre-sets this is probably up there for one of the best VSTs i have bought
