This is a smaller version our Prepared Rhodes sample set. It's kind of "best of" as I made a selection among those that, IMO, are best suited for use in mobile apps. But it's more than a simple repackaging as I have added 38 instruments made with one sample mapped across the keyboard in the soundfont and I have edited 11 of the 79 wav files.
The sampled instrument is a real Rhodes electric piano that was prepared as John Cage and others prepared an acoustic piano. That means inserting springs, plastic tubes, pins, all kinds of objects inside the piano. These objects when touching the strings or the tines change the sound of each key played. The result is an instrument that is much more percussive in nature.
The Mobile version includes a soundfont with 67 instruments and 79 samples in wav format. Its free demo set has a 16 instruments soundfont and 16 samples.
It costs $1.99, please visit this page for more info:

I made a demo video, the apps used are in order: Bismark bs-16i, Samplelab, Funkbox and Nanostudio.

Pretty cool. I used to play my Rhodes w/ the top off, so I could hand-mute and otherwise manipulate the tines. I may have to take you up and load it down.
Nice.
Nice.

It's always fun to manipulate sounds either physically or electronically.
Thanks for your interest in the soundset.
Here's a photo of the actual instrument that was sampled:

I recently got EasyBeats 2 and to try its online kit sharing feature I uploaded the 16 samples of the demo.
I have put it in the Other category under the name "Zvon Prepared EP demo". So if any EasyBeats 2 user tries it, let me know if it works fine. Thanks.
