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 ...

 

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.

 

Solved Thank you all I got excited as I was going thru Mr Greens Kits and heard a familiar rhodes sound in a DM chord and it got me Happy

 

VSTi who has the Rhodes Keyboard Sound original presets

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

 

Best Fender Rhodes in a vsti so far: Spectrasonics Keyscape

 

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

Lounge lizard is definitely the vsti for the job or for max realistic sound fire up an rhodes kontakt library

 

Pianoteq!

 

..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..;)
