I would describe the tone of this plugin as being balanced/clean (Video Clip) and I would say that it's closest in tone to Lounge Lizard. If you can afford it, and you think you will use all the of the wurlis, clavs, and acoustic pianos that also come with it, then this is a good option.
Seriously though, why do this in a plugin? You can get some cool effects by stacking stereo panning on top of tremolo. This is a minor issue, but it is an issue with many of the plugins. I hate to repeat myself, but one thing I find annoying is having to choose between stereo panning and regular tremolo. The memory use is also enormous at 1.5 GB, so make sure you are using a computer with plenty of memory. Still, a nice additional feature to have. There is also a color-shift knob that works but the tines get a letter splunky when you turn it towards mellow. This is a versatile plugin and you are sure to find the tone you are looking for. There is also a third Rhodes model based on a modern Vintage Vibes Rhodes and I would say the tone here is, well, new/modern. The tone of the LA Custom (Suitcase Mark II Video Clip) is a bit more warm/balanced. The tone of the Rhodes Classic (Mark I Stage Video Clip) is a bit more agressive. Overall, VTines is a nice choice if you need a Rhodes plugin that is balanced, can fit into many situations, and is highly customizable. This plugin also has a good amount of presets and built-in effects, and you can dirty-up the smooth/balanced tone a bit using the included amplifier simulation. However, unlike those fully-modeled Rhodes instruments, I believe the sampling-base combined with the added customization from modeling produces an overall more realistic sounding instrument, at least to my ears. making this one of the more customizable plugins, on par with fully-modeled plugins like the AAS Lounge Lizard and Arturia Stage 73 V. Many other Rhodes componentsĬan also be customized this way - release volume, pickup distance, "tine height," ect. However, this is fully customizable, and can be changed on a per-note basis. One thing that stands out - the bell-tone is a little more prominent than most other Rhodes plugins. The default sound of this plugin has a very nice, balanced tone that's not overly vintage sounding, but also not tinny/harsh. It is most similar in tone to the Keyscape Rhodes Classic, Adam Monroe's Mark73, and Native Instruments Scarbee Mark I. I would describe the tone of this plugin as balanced/smooth. I will rate each plugin on four main categories: FEATURES, EFFECTS, VALUE, and PRESETS/SOUND DESIGN. For a more in-depth analysis on the pros and cons of each Rhodes vst, continue reading. Which Rhodes is the best plugin in 2021? Well, I have some thoughts on the matter! If you just want to listen to raw sound examples, watch the aforementioned video. I not only make my own Rhodes Piano plugin and Rhodes shootout videos, I also use and experiment with all the different Rhodes libraries, in quest of the Holy Rhodes tone. The main difference between the two styles is that the suitcase has a built-in amplifier, somewhat similar in design to a Fender Twin. There are two main styles of the Rhodes piano: Suitcase and Stage, and each come in 73 and 88-key models. The signal from the Rhodes can then be sent to an amplifier or recorded direct-input. The Rhodes is an electromechanical instrument that generates sound via hammers hitting tines which produces magnetic induction in a giant pickup spanning the body of the piano (not unlike the pickups in a guitar). Is an electric piano developed by Harold Rhodes and marketed and sold by Fender, CBS, and Roland.
I'm a big fan of Rhodes Piano plugins! Then again, who isn't? The Rhodes Piano (AKA the Fender Rhodes)
