The Rhodes V8 is a deeply multi-sampled and modelled, hyper-realistic virtual recreation of the acclaimed Rhodes MK8 electric piano — the only official software to carry the Rhodes name. Encompassing over 30,000 samples recorded directly from Rhodes' flagship MK8 piano at 96 kHz / 24-bit, the V8 includes up to 127 velocity layers and 14 articulations, capturing every nuance and character of the original instrument.

The Main view provides broad tone-shaping through the authentic V8 pre-amp board with a stereo Vari-Pan effect featuring four waveforms. The Detail view delivers deep control over tuning and timbre, amp/cab simulations including the Rhodes '79 Suitcase and Twin Tube Combo, plus condenser and dynamic microphone options. 208 factory presets designed by industry-leading artists are included.

The V8 Plugin ships with a comprehensive effects section, parametric EQ, and the iconic Rhodes tonal character. Total sample size on disk is approximately 22 GB after lossless data reduction.
