hmmm... and yet ...( 3 months ago by rhodesta)
hmmm... and yet its still so popular.
could be because its easily recognizable and people can get into the groove pretty quickly.
Sure it's a new ...( 3 months ago by neve8078)
Sure it's a new Rhodes and the action is great but it sounds cheap and bell like. Compare it to an old MK1 suitcase and it's like chalk and cheese. Anyway I was referring to the 'Groove' as sounding like midi, sounds like Kenny G.
Oh, ok. fair ...( 3 months ago by rhodesta)
Oh, ok. fair enough, it is a bit too strict feel wise.
Some of the the mark fives are also quite bell like in sound, Im hoping that you can adjust it a little to get a nice breakup point in the tines or action, or if it comes to then I will just put a tube overdrive on it occasionally.
I think the main ...( 3 months ago by neve8078)
I think the main difference sonically between the models is in the harp, I guess you could switch it with an old one to get more bark and bite.

Hmm which colour would I choose? I think definitely either red, or black. The white one somehow seems a bit Bert Bacharach. A bit Elton John.

Is the pianist with the white hair David Benoit? can't tell.

In fact, he owns one of only three Mark Vs in existence with midi capabilities. Rhodes built three prototypes in 1984 before the company went out of business and the use of the name was sold to Roland in 1987, which made synthesized versions--not the real McCoy.

Are these just 3 different colours or are they actually 3 different pianos as well?
Rodes will be ...( 2 weeks ago by aarfeld)
Rodes will be offering nine different models. S series (Standard), a passive instrument with volume and tone knobs; A series (Active), with a pre-amp, three-band EQ, and vibrato controls; and AM series (Active MIDI), previous features plus MIDI capabilities. Each series will be available in 61, 73, or 88 keys configurations, for a total of nine possible variations. The keyboard will pair to either a leg stand or speaker cabinets, like the old suitcase style of previous Rhodes models.
