TRADITION RE-DEFINED.
VIBRATO
Explore the sonic richness of Rhodecase88, where the traditional stereo tremolo of the suticase piano moves sound from left to right, meets our unique Vibrato feature, modulating the pitch up and down. With precise speed (rate) and intensity (depth) controls, you can combine the two for a dynamic fusion of vibrato and tremolo. Whether adding subtle motion to Lofi beats or crafting immersive soundscapes for TV/Film cues, Rhodecase88 offers a versatile palette for your musical expressions.
PAD LAYER
A collection of familiar sounds to add to Rhodecase88 that can be transposed up or down, filtered, or even modified using ADSR controls. Highlights include Hammond© organ sounds, classic 80s PCM sounds, and 12 semitone pitch bend range!
REVERB HOLD
Rhodecase88 allows you to dial up a big reverb wash and freeze it in time with the HOLD button. Even the pad layer and effects will be included in the reverb tail for ultimate sonic discovery!
CLASSIC EFFECTS
Whether it’s recreating sounds from Top40 hits or exploring new textures for your next hit in the studio, Rhodecase88 has the tools to create your sound.
THE SOURCE INSTRUMENT:
Rhodecase88 was sampled from a not-so-perfectly restored 1978 Rhodes® Mark I suitcase electric piano with a custom pre/op amp owned and used by Grammy-nominated keyboardist to the stars, Chris Cadenhead. (Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper, The Jacksons, KC & the Sunshine Band,)
THE SOFTWARE
Rhodecase88 is an instrument built on the cutting-edge HISE sampler engine and no modeling was involved. We used a minimalist approach to sampling this instrument focusing on efficiency, versatility, and innovation. It is our philosophy that great virtual instruments have very little to do with the number of velocity layers and everything to do with it how it makes you feel emotionally. Rhodecase88’s compact size and light CPU usage make it perfect to integrate into your existing live performance Mainstage or Ableton rig or your huge composer template.
We designed this instrument through a “MIDI MAP EVERYTHING” lens. What that means is the power of this instrument is in the assigning of parameters to different knobs on your keyboard and/or pedals. … a truly performative instrument! By default, the stereo tremolo of the KEYS LAYER is automatically assigned to the mod-wheel, the PAD LAYER volume is automatically assigned to your expression pedal. No need to fuss with automation and programming. You can control and morph your sound on the fly!
With it’s feature-rich and intuitive user interface, Rhodecase88 is nothing short of inspiring. Whether you’re an electric piano purist or a forward thinking sound designer, you will find this new instrument to be an essential color for your palette.
