The Silk Rhodes

Wrongtools is proud to present "The Silk Rhodes", a unique sounding instrument, deeply sampled with nontraditional playing techniques. It all started with the "plucked" patch, where the tonebars are plucked with finger tips rather than played with keys, making a sonorous tender mellow sound:

AT A GLANCE:

• Up to 10 dynamic layers.
• More than 2300 samples.
• 1 main patch and 50+ other presets, lots of bonus patches and variations.
• Sustains recorded pedal down and up.
• Subtle varied pedal mechanical noises.
• Articulation switcher controlled by ks or cc.
• Includes release triggers.
• Attack sound / pedal sounds available on separate faders.
• Delicious arrhythmic soundsculpts.
• Adjustable custom ir reverbs.
• Compatible with full versions of Kontakt 6.4.2 and above.

There are plenty of sampled rhodes pianos out there, but having very strong preferences on how this instrument should sound, we wanted to make our own version. This is not the standard bell-sounding rhodes piano sound. This one is more wooden sounding, with a clean crisp and warm analogue sound.
