    Looking for a faithful reproduction I expect it wont totally be the same but just a VSTi that has the original preset names like what Korg did with the M1

    Hello dear friend.
    This might disappoint you a litle but the Rhodes family is an acoustic instrument so goodbye presets.
    There are many different simulations /samples out, there to name a few:
    https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/stage-73-v/overview
    Applied Acoustics Systems Lounge Lizard EP-4.
    XLN Audio Addictive Keys: Mark One
    AIR Music Technology Velvet Two
    e.t.c. there are so many its a miracle you did not accidentally install one already ... :winker:

    I don't know what you mean. Can you explain?
    I know you and I have talked about Disco and Funk and Rhodes before.
    i thought I mentioned my go-to Rhodes'?

    The modelled Lounge Lizard plugin is nice to play and a small footprint.
    The Scarbee Vintage Keys is a nice sample based Rhodes. Also has the Wurlitzer 200A.
    I will be sharing The Famous E Electric Piano soon. That's lovely.
    Jamal's Neo Soul keys has a very 'characterful' Rhodes, and also Wurlitzer 200A.

    Edit:
    Ah! Synchro posts.
    Will say I don't like the Arturia at all.

    e-Instruments Session Keys Electric R is one I use a fair bit. Pianoteq also has models of Rhodes MKI and MKII.

    Explained earlier. There are no presets, just different models, settings and physical modifications... If there was such a thing as presets I’d say this -

    1. Rhodes w/wood hammers
    2. Rhodes w/neoprene hammers
    3. Dyno Rhodes (bright bell sound)
    4. Stereo Trem Rhodes
    5. Dual MXR90 phased Rhodes (Steely Dan)
    6. Small Stone phased Rhodes (Billy Joel)
    7. Fender Fuzz Wah Rhodes (Herbie Hancock)

    Played through either Direct Out, Fender Twin or Rhodes Satellite speakers.& don’t forget to add some compression to taste. Choose your poison.

    VSTi who has the Rhodes Keyboard Sound original presets
    :rofl::trolls::deep_facepalm: :wtf:
    Sorry but, there is no such thing young man. The Fender Rhodes is an electric piano (not an acoustic instrument as someone said), you can think of it as sort of the equivalent of what an electric guitar is to an acoustic guitar.
    Although there is a ton of VSTIS out there, your best bet should be Applied Acoustics' Lounge Lizard VSTi. It is the oldest and to me the best just soft emulation-non sample based VSTi, which also has a good amount of presets to get you started and enough parameters including a cool effects section, to go wild and experiment.
    Laters :D

    Well, there is never really a "best", imo. They are just all different.
    I admit I do like Keyscape, but it's been my profession for years, and for some reason Keyscape just doesn't gel with me.
    I reckon you haven't played The Famous E Electric Piano yet?

    I must also say, probably because I have a '68 or '69 Wurlitzer 200A, I've never been totally happy with any Wurly plugin!

    I also owned a Wurli 200A in the 70s, but once you've played one for several years, it's hard to get the same feel out of key controllers keybeds. The best vsts I've used was EMU samples, and Acoustic Samples Wurlie, and V-Reeds.

    edit:
    Emulator X used for EMU sounds

    ..I'll slide this in - You mean sampled by Orange Tree? I almost got myself a copy, but just couldn't find enough info around (other than the demos). Do you (or others) have any experience with it? Tnx..

    edit: I missed that..;)
