Ok...guys...
This was about Rhodes emulations in keyboards throughout the years....
No one has been able to do a good of this...
Yamaha came out with the DX7 which spurrned it's own instrument.. The FM
rhodes..
Ensoniq came out with the first popular sampler....
No great Rhodes emulation there...then Kurzweil....
We just got used to these patches...Nord was a huge step
up..Rhodes...Wurley and Clavinet...
Until Scarbee came out with the heavy samples nothing really touched the
original Rhodes instrument...
These are manufacturers from the world over...
Not just the Japanese didn't get this is right....
Any square wave with bell overtones became that sound...
I was not trying to get into an argument Goff...
The beast that is a Rhodes piano ...is what it is...
I do like the VR09 Rhodes pretty well though...
Things have come a long way.
