V8 Pro

For the first time, the hallowed sound and feel of the acclaimed Rhodes MK8 electric piano, at your fingertips in any recording studio or live performance.

The V8 is a deeply multi-sampled, hyper-realistic version of the Rhodes MK8, capturing all the nuance and character of the flagship electric piano within 30,000 samples across 100 velocity layers. The only official software to carry the Rhodes name, the V8 is the final destination for musicians looking to augment their productions with the timeless beauty of 'The True Rhodes Sound'.

The V8 Pro is the complete and comprehensive virtual version of the MK8, offering its Envelope parameter for dialling in envelope-controlled filter effects like auto-wah, and unleashing the Vari-Pan circuit into audio rate modulation. The Compressor, Chorus, Phaser and Delay effects from the MK8 FX are here too. On the Setup page, users will find per-note control over Timbre, Fine Tune, Level and Damper response. A selection of microphones and amplifiers can be found, paying homage to classic studio and stage Rhodes setups.
