Rhodes mk8 plus Muse is a true power couple.

I want one so bad!!! 18k CAD though?? THATS INSANE!

Rather than sending MIDI signals, I’d prefer this Rhodes to receive MIDI signals, just like a digital instrument.

Very cool.
Will this feature Midi 2.0?

@RhodesPiano @Rhodes Piano - I can send MIDI signal from DAW, including pitchbend, correct? I have modular synth, and just wanted to know if any MIDI loss happen.

Quel est l’interêt de cette démo ?
Un MK 8 est bien davantage qu’un simple clavier de commande.
L’intérêt du midi, à mettre en avant sur ce type de clavier, c’est de rehausser le son d’origine qui doit rester audible sans quoi, n’importe quel autre clavier suffit à faire le même travail, et ce depuis des décennies…
Je me souviens avoir utilisé un DISKLAVIER connecté en midi à un MKS20, ça lui ajoutait des basses redoutables mais on entendait bien évidemment toujours le son du piano original. Bref on arrivait à une espèce d’instrument hybride très intéressant.
Si c’est juste pour déclencher des sons de brass synthétique, je ne vois vraiment pas l’intérêt.
Dans l’attente d’une démo plus sérieuse sur ce point 😉

The synth sound sounds like a cheap VSTi synth
Where did the Rhodes' signature EP sound go? With this kind of sound, there's no reason to buy it
