The unmistakable sound of four classic and rare Rhodes models
Imagine stepping into the world of music legends, playing the same renowned Rhodes instruments that shaped some of the greatest hits of the past, from Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock to Stevie Wonder, The Doors, Ray Charles, Steely Dan, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and countless others.

Introducing Rhodes Anthology – an authentic collection of classic and rare Rhodes pianos, restored and optimised for ultimate sound and playability.

The models included in this package are a testament to the iconic Rhodes legacy, meticulously sampled by Rhodes’ world-renowned team of expert sound designers.

Explore the unmistakable sound of four classic and rare Rhodes models, each with its own distinctive character and response: the Rhodes MK1 Stage 73 (1976), Sparkletop 73 (1965), Rhodes MKV 73 (1984) and Rhodes MK7 73 (2010).  

Rhodes Anthology is not just a software recreation—it’s the most authentic, playable, and musical representation of these instruments ever created and the only genuine Rhodes emulation of these classic instruments. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an aspiring producer, Anthology sets a new gold standard for anyone looking to capture the soulful essence of the iconic Rhodes legacy.

User Interface
The Rhodes Anthology interface is simple and sophisticated, designed to deliver an intuitive experience while maintaining unmatched functionality and stunning visual renders. The Anthology features a huge range of sound-shaping power, with all the preamp and FX modules utilising the same authentic models as the esteemed Rhodes V8 Pro plugin.

The Global Tune function allows fine-tuning of each piano, while the standout Timbre Shift feature, adapted from the V8 Pro, enables real-time re-voicing of the piano, unlocking a new realm of sonic possibilities. 

Rhodes Anthology’s sleek, elegant interface is designed to put all the most desired sound-shaping tools at your fingertips, making it the ultimate plugin for musicians seeking classic and authentic Rhodes tones.

Rhodes Mark 1 Stage 73
A true icon throughout the 1970s, used extensively by Rhodes legends Herbie Hancock, Patrice Rushen, and Stevie Wonder, the Rhodes Stage 73 Mark 1 featured on countless classic and hit records, becoming a solid favourite for studio and live musicians the world over. Whether mellow or bright (or anywhere in between), the classic and timeless sound of the Mark 1 remains legendary to this day.

Sparkletop 73
Produced from 1965 – 1969, the rare felt-hammer Sparkletop is most immediately recognised for its striking silver glitter hood. However, its distinctive earthy and bell-like tone is the instrument behind an array of trailblazing records, including Miles Davis’s In a Silent Way, and The Beatles’ Let it Be. The Sparkletop’s warm, shimmering sound bridges the gap between the grittiness of later Rhodes models and the punchy clarity of other electric pianos of the era. Sparkletop models occupy a unique space in musical history; they were pivotal in shaping the classic Rhodes electric piano sound that defined much of the late ’60s and early ’70s soul, jazz and rock.

Rhodes MKV 73
 Considered by Harold Rhodes and his team as the pinnacle of vintage Rhodes pianos, the now rare and sought-after Rhodes MKV featured a wide range of improvements in action, tone and portability, making it a favourite among discerning Rhodes players. Chick Corea was perhaps the most iconic MKV player and utilised his MIDI MKV throughout the 80’s and beyond. Most notably, the MKV’s redesigned hammer-action and optimised damper design enhanced the piano’s dynamic range and playability, allowing both a smooth, mellow tone as well as a more powerful ‘bark’ with more clarity and detail. The Rhodes Anthology collection includes samples captured directly from Rhodes CPO Dan Goldman’s personal Rhodes MKV piano.

Rhodes MK7 73
The rare Rhodes MK7 took the core of the MKV piano forward, putting the Rhodes electro-mechanical engine into a unique-looking moulded fibreglass shell and adding several variants, including classic Passive, Active (preamp), and active MIDI models. Notably, the MK7 was the first production Rhodes with comprehensive MIDI output implementation and has a uniquely funky and dynamic character all of its own.



A witch says,

* No CodeMeter installation is required.
* Our release loads faster ands uses less memory than legit version.

Kong Count : 4

This Anthology has new function for the developer to log the CodeMeter functionality. It seems that Gorilla Engine users are having hard time with WIBU. No problem, here is the one without it :)

They're different. The anthology has 4 classic Rhodes emulations, while the V8 is modelled after the MK8, which is not part of the anthology.

Every musician in the world would dream of David Guetta's career, so this is such a beautiful synths? Great news!

This is a very nice gift, thank you very much. These are great pianos overall. Is it better than the others? Not sure. In this price range you can find arturia, lounge lizard.... And for five times cheaper the waves 88.... The sparkle top sounds great... but out of tune (You can hear it clearly on a C minor bass line from C1)
II it didn't say Rhodes on it, would we find this vst as beautiful?

Thought this was an interesting comment, so I went ahead and checked it with a tuner and the lowest note in every instrument is C2 actually, though you are slight right about them being out of tune, however all lower notes line up in tune after the initial attack. That's just how it is.

Sorry... I meant C3, not C1... My appologies. So I did the same thing as you, I took a tuner. It's out of tune. The note doesn't seem to hold the chord well but it doesn't seem huge either. But to my ears, yes. SonI took the one from ircam lab. The snail. There is indeed a big imbalance between C, Eb and G. Above all, we see that there is an imbalance between the C and the harmonics of this root note. Surely an update will fix the problem.

Edit : I downloaded the trial version on another machine... Tunning seems ok....

"GLOBAL TUNE
By clicking the silver circle with the arrow, extra parameters are revealed that change the global tuning of the piano to match any out-of-tune instruments or audio material. "

Pro tip: Host all Rhodes plug-ins inside metaplugin host or patchworks and turn the oversampling on to at least x4.

All these Rhodes plug-ins are aliasing like a motherfucker but oversampling cleans it right up.

The Rhodes sound is already harmonically rich so this is a REALLY bad type of sound source to have heavy aliasing on. Dense chords clean right up when oversampled to at least x4 and then these instruments truly sound god tier.

I wonder why this instrument has 64 samples PDC delay.
AAS Lounge Lizard does not exhibit such a behaviour.
Soundwise it is good to have both, though.

What does KONG COUNT mean ?
  Resident 2.02.2017 593
+338
It's the count of the plugins that use the Gorilla Engine that R2R released so far, it's a play on the name of the software, Gorilla / King Kong.
R2R usually counts the big releases in "Gongs", but this time they
decided to go with some clever word play.
  Member 7.03.2024 77

Thanks :)

So, while installing we have to match kong count etc to somewhere?

OR we can install without about it

Jesus, they nailed it, hope that happens with a Prophet one day.

The Softube Model 80 is bang on. Not all Prophets are the same of course, and there is rev 1/2 and rev 3 filter differences as well (Arturia's is based off a rev 1/2 and it sounds drastically different than a rev 3.) But yeah, the Model 80 is absolutely spot on.

I will give it a listen, I really like that particular tonality, I was fortunate enough to have a real one but I was forced to sell it when I moved, I couldn't drag it around with me, anyway thanks.
