Another one ... more tines, less reverb, same instrument, different tuning :

• one_more_rhodes_2.mp3

Edit : the sample was truncated grrr !

I like the number 12. I wonder which instrument was used for it?

+1

In the survey results, it looks like zeros aren't showing up?

How to record your Rhodes Patch: Playback the Midi file using your Rhodes Patch (no additional Effects, if there are various, the one you prefer or if different models are emulated, choose the Mk.II one), speed: 110bpm. Record the output into any DAW or Audacity. Export it as MP3, preferrably with 192bps and attach it replying to this post without specifying the name! You can either PM me the instrument you were using or reveal it after the test period ends.

I agree about avoiding effects. Especially since listening to auto-pan in headphones can make you seasick!

I don't see any reason to bias it toward MK II. Not that very many boards give you such named variations anyway. But I think someone's idea of "best" should be sufficient. Personally, I think Nord's MK I are better than their Mk II!

I would like to send you some, but don't really want to duplicate others. Even though you don't want to reveal which sample is which here, could you post a list of which models are already up there? Then those of us who want to contribute will know we're not wasting time giving you samples of things you already have.

I can probably get you about 5 samples next week.

[whitenoise]

Yeah. I'd like to hear Kronos.

[anotherscott]

8 samples from 5 instruments.

Hi anotherscott, just added the mp3s. But there is an issue with the two many options which are not visible.
Nevertheless when you fill out the survey, you can see all options and listen to the examples. Will post the results later on after some time.
Cheers!
