PETITION for a new RHODES sample (sign if you want it)

Post by cleito »

I have seen many people (including me) asking for a new rhodes / E.Piano sample but it's a lot of mixed ideas about how it shoud be, so, I think this petition will be a better way to send it to Clavia and help then do it in a proper way.
this is the E.Piano page from Nord site with 6 models:
http://www.nordkeyboards.com/main.asp?t ... tric_Piano

What I ask of you is to write only about this:
1- Your keyboard (NS, NP, NE) you can include the serial number if you want.
2- The name of the sample that comes closer to what you want (EP1, EP2...) and what should be changed

Let's keep it simple, clean and easy to Clavia understand it. :thumbup:
I will be sending this link to Clavia after a few posts, and send again after a few more.
----> Please make it 1 post by person.

I want an ambient suitcase piano. Like the sound which goes in my ears when I play a Mk1 Suitcase in a room.

Thanks for this initiative.
I have a Stage 2.

EP1 sounds very good IMHO; good enough that I don't think I need another similar-sounding EP. EP2 is good as well (for different purposes), but very quiet in the upper octaves (which has been mentioned before, I believe), so I tend to run into problems when playing chords with my left hand and soloing with my right hand. I don't care as much about the other EPs; I think I mostly want an "evened-out" EP2. I suppose Clavia could even provide this without re-recording the original instrument.

If they do record new instruments, I hope they create fully-mapped versions. If single keys have individual characteristics, it makes the instrument sound nice and natural, but if those characteristics are shared by a few neighboring keys, that just sounds strange to my ears.

....and whilst we are at it, can we ask that the new samples are in a NPNO format which works with any of their products which use Npno files?

What we don't want is them to say "New Rhodes Samples will only work with the new Stage 4 Ex operating system.

Too much more of this style behavior and I will be shopping elsewhere.

Good initiative.

-Nord Stage 2 SW73

-I just want a "normal" sounding Rhodes as it would be as new. The samples Clavia have made are great, but imo too specialized in different ways.
The E.piano 1 is too deep-sounding and has no bark.
The E.piano 2 has no bell.
The E.piano 3 has too much harmonics.
The E.piano 4 is adjusted just as the E.piano 1 so again no bell. It sounds a bit different since it's a MkV and of course every rhodes sounds somewhat different.
The E.piano 5 is a dyno-rhodes I think. It is great for some things, but too punchy and too much bell compared to the sample I am looking for.
The E.piano 6 has been adjusted just way I want, with the ''ideal timbre'', with a ''medium miking'' distance. But I am just not liking the very deep bell sound of the sparkletop.

If they would adjust one of their other Rhodes (Mk1, Mk2) as they did with the E.Piano 6, I think it would be perfect. Nice amount of bell, not too much or too little harmonics and can sound both soft or with bark depending on how hard you play.

Also since some of the samples are essentially 6-10 years old(have only had minor improvements since). I think it would be reasonable that the new samples would be bigger in size and sound better than earlier samples provided. (I know size isn't everything)

-Also. Just as much as I want a new rhodes, I definitly want a new improved Wurlitzer and Clavinet (with off-note) sound.

Thats my 2 cents. :)
