REQ: Sampletekk Tubed Keys - Rhodes MkI 73 (Kontakt 5 version)
When recording a Rhodes piano, nearly all, (or all?), instruments that has been recorded for a sampled instrument are lined. That means that you take the signal from the instrument, and feed it directly to the recording device. This means that you will get a very clean, bright signal. And that is, in itself, a good thing!
This is exactly why I choose not to do so!
When Fender tuned and set up the Rhodes pianos on the factory, they used a Fender Twin as a preference amplifier. That was the way the where intended to sound. Personally, I'm used to feed my eardrums with the Rhodes/Fender Twin sound since my good friend Tomas Sunmo used to run his Rhodes through a Twin and we played together for a long time.
And since the piano used for the session was Sunes, well, it just had to be a Twin!
The amp wasn't set up to produce distortion, just to add character and flavour, and it did!
This Rhodes doesn't sound like a lined Rhodes, it sounds like a Rhodes played through a Fender Twin - The way it was supposed to.
The Mk I Seventy-Three has no less then 16 different velocity samples/note and this gives you the dynamic response that's not found on any other sampled Rhodes. Add to this 16 matching release samples and you'll have 32 samples/note!
GUI available for the Kontakt 5 version included in the package
