i like how yours is voiced. almost nasally, i hate when people only play blues on rhodes.

@bopkick5 Ive tried alot of different digital "rhodes sounds" and got close but im a sucker for the real thing.

I may just be too picky - but playing the real rhodes also has a "feel",  the whole keyboard vibrates and shakes under your fingers - when you play hard you can feel each note vibrating through your fingertips!! and having the weight of real hammers is amazing - keyboards usually try to simulate acoustic piano action - but a rhodes is alot different and none have come close.

@rhodesta Harold Rhodes, the inventor, didn't like the Mark I's and Mark II's. He said the Mark V's were the best Rhodes yet. He was involved early in the Mark VII's. He wanted the Mark VII to be the improved Mark V. Google It.

@Pianocarneseur12 Oops, I forgot to mention the model, an Alesis QS6.

[CircleCityEric]

@Pianocarneseur12 Maybe it is. The only other synthesizer I've got which has that sound has it cataloged under pitched percussion. But, our boards may have it logged with pads.

[Pianocarneseur12]

@CircleCityEric I think it might have it i'd have to check my MOX8 it should have all 1217 sounds of the motif xs. Is it a synth pad?

@Pianocarneseur12 A touchscreen would be nice, especially after owning a Korg D1600. That might've convinced me to get an M50, but it was between the screen + a joystick and a preferred sound + pitch/mod wheels. Yamaha had the sound and the wheels. LOL!

The only thing missing - so far - is a simulation of the carillon sound from the DX7. I remember hearing it on the Motif XS, but I haven't found it on the 90 yet.

[Pianocarneseur12]

@CircleCityEric Haha yup ha Yamaha always works their magic somewhere. The S90 xs looks really cool! i think roland just over does it with their fantom g series imean no one needs a screen that big and most people crack down on Yamaha for that but imean you don't buy it for the screen, you buy it for the sound. And touchscreen i'm not as into as others would be.

[CircleCityEric]

@Pianocarneseur12 You're telling me. I just took delivery of an S90XS yesterday. I'm totally into this thing, and it could help me get past my dislike of using sampled sounds on tape.

[Pianocarneseur12]

@CircleCityEric Yamaha all day everyday over any other brand except for wurlitzer even though Yamaha can simulate those vintage sounds well. I own a Yamaha mox8 (Lesser version of the motif xs8) it's awesome!!
