![]() This set of features addresses one of the main concerns I have had switching from a real Rhodes to sampled or modeled emulation, and that’s the unique characteristics of each individual instrument. For example VTines MK1 allows for the adjustment of around 9 parameters on a per key basis! In other words you can adjust the virtual “pickup distance”, “tine height”, and more for individual notes on the instrument. ![]() Although VTines MK1 provides only one electric piano model, is it by far the most adjustable of the examples I have used. The latest Rhodes VST that I have found interesting is VTines MK1 from Acousticsounds. ![]() No emulation has the ability to replace the Rhodes, but I’m hoping to find a satisfactory facsimile for live performances. This article is a reflection on a new-to-me VST that might just work in my weird and atypical performance and studio setups. Over the years I have used Lounge Lizard ( Electric in Ableton Live), Arturia’s Stage-73 V, and several others with limited success. Since the Rhodes (the actual 130lbs version) has been the instrument of choice for me for many years, the first thing I wanted to determine was if there was an electric piano VST that could emulate the Rhodes well enough to satisfy my ears. This is an approach that I have used in the past, and one that many professionals choose, so I have decided to explore a few modern examples of this possibility in detail. Keston with a Rhodes EP at the McGuire Theater, Walker Art Center, MinneapolisĪs I continue my search for the “perfect” stage piano (spoiler: there isn’t one) I have been asking myself if it is practical and/or desirable to use a VST instead of a dedicated hardware instrument.
