1968 Rhodes Sparkletop Piano Bass
Ok, here's the Sparkletop now. Both basses were sampled at full volume and full bass through a Radial DI into a Mackie 24x8 into a MOTU 24i/o. I tried to play all notes with a medium velocity for maximum usability, but you know how these pianos are. Here's a link to the original wav:

Re: 1968 Rhodes Sparkletop Piano Bass
This is awesome Brian!
Thanks for providing the original WAV and project file, I may use to put together some splits.
Your sample sounds so much better than my make shift solution. I was splitting the keyboard and trying to use a different Rhodes sound with the bass turned up and the sustain pedal turned off. Now I'm using your sample on my NE3 for the bass and my NSEx for the rhodes part "Riders"...
Cheers, Hanon

Re: 1968 Rhodes Sparkletop Piano Bass
Glad you like it. I see you saw the Fiesta Red one too, that's another good sample.

Re: 1968 Rhodes Sparkletop Piano Bass
It is indeed, great job there too man. Such a shame the split function isn't included on the Electro 3, it would have been rad to use this together with the Vox. But I do have access to a Stage Ex so I'll just use the Sparkle on the E3 and organ on the Ex.bdodds wrote:Glad you like it. I see you saw the Fiesta Red one too, that's another good sample.
What did you pay for these two babies?

Re: 1968 Rhodes Sparkletop Piano Bass
I honestly don't remember it's been quite a few years. I'm thinking maybe a couple hundred each? maybe as much as $500?
