Rhodes Plugins of 2023 - SHOOTOUT

Neo Soul Keys Studio 2 is a must

Hey, Chris. Cool comparison vid - thank you! I recently bought the Rhodes V8 Pro plugin VST and have found it to be really nice with lots of adjustability. I also use Arturia's Vintage Collection 9 which contains some very nice Rhodes patches as well. Liked and subscribed to your channel. 🤜🤛

I own the '1972 mk. I stage model

only electra'88 is more or less close enough

Keyscape does it for me..

thank you man, respect

The Famous E Electric Piano by Orange Tree Samples is a hidden gem. Harold's favorite Rhodes, in 18 velocity layers!

Very nice. All of these are a great choice. I decided on the Electra 88 as it fitted my workflow and I feel it’s quite versatile- the studio options suited me.

They all do a very good job! My favourite out of these was the Electra 88 as I found it to have the most vibe. Will probably need to pick that up on the BF sale.
Surprised not to see AcousticSamples VTines in the list though!

super sound 👍❤

Really appreciate the production quality of your videos man! Well done. I was surprised to see that you don't have a massive following - but I'm sure it's coming. Keep it up!

I'd like to hear the Gospel Musicians Dyno-My-Piano Expansion Pack in a comparison.

Great video chris. They all sound great 🎶

Keyscape gets my vote from that list. I use the Waves Audio E200 keys, the Toontrack EZ Keys (my go to for rhodes) Universal Audio Electra 88 rhodes and Sampletank 3 various rhode sounds. But I’m gonna have to check out that Keyscape and Rhodes v8 Pro

I have yet to see the video but it doesn’t seem that you co sidérés neo soul keys studio 2 from gospel musicians, which is extensive and highly qualitative (as a former rhodes owner )

what's the name of the keyboard that you used in this video? it looks very sleek!

It's criminal that Gospel Musician's Neo Soul Keys 2 Suite isn't included. Any EPs that get a plug by the late George Duke are noteworthy.

Very inspiring...I am primarily a guitarist. I didn't think I would be ready to buy any kind of keys vst in near future, but this demo changed my mind :-) Great sounds and playing!

People always forget Air Velvet 2 which is actually not bad.

I know people were critical of Rhodes 8 when it was released because of bugs but it does sounds good.

I appreciate Keyscape. It’s a great collection to have, but the Rhodes are not my favorite. They have a pristine sound, but somewhat thin compared to an actual Rhodes.
People definitely have different preferences in Rhodes sounds. My current favorite plugins are the UAD Electra 88, The Famous E, The V8, and Scarbee 88.

Nothing beats the “orange tree samples” sampled version of the famous E Rhodes. Worth a look

V8 Pro! 😍

I think to be honest, they're all pretty good! I'm fairly sure I could get something I liked from any of them 🙂

Looooove your playing in this bro

I still love my Keyscape Rhodes and Vintage Vibe sounds the best. The Rhodes V8 was really disappointing for me it's non Classic sounds are better than it's Classic sounds.

Love it! For me the Keyscape sounds the best. It just has the most authentic rhodes feeling (sound-wise ofc).
Also nice playing, especially in the outro! :D
