Now I get the rhodes thing. Holy shit this thing sounds great. Amazing. I should have got one a decade ago. This one is from 1979
I just got something in the studio I have wanted for 15 years. I’m blown away by it. Check it out.

That's awesome. I'm surprised someone sold it. You'd think everyone would want to hang on to a classic like this.
I've checked videos on it and it just sounds so nice. Congrats.

It wasn’t cheap, but I don’t regret it at all.
Id love a Rhodes Mk2, I love the sound of a rhodes, great buy.

I wanted an mk1 but I discovered that a late mki and early mkii are the same, just slightly cheaper and it has a flat top so you can stack another keyboard on top. Perfect for a live gig.

Damn @thedreampolice I’m jealous! Ask @Marcus Ray for piano lessons!

What's your specific question? And what do you hope that thing to do that a sampler in a DAW can't?

I would probably start on YouTube but that thing is going to be SOOO slow to use with not much benefits.

Ok I was able to finally spend some time recording this with a great player in the studio yesterday and holy shit it sounds amazing. Sorry but it blows software emulations away completely. Wow.

I'm not surprised. Keyword being "emulate".

It really became clear when you got an amp on it, then it was night and day to the software versions.

Nice! Are you going to try and incorporate this into your current sound?

I use a Rhodes sound pretty often for various Drunk Pedestrian songs so absolutely. I’m playing in a new original band called “The Davenport Brothers” that I’m super pumped about http://davenportbrothersmusic.com/ we are working on our first record now. So the Rhodes is getting a lot of use now.

Oh and I put this sign on it to calm down the keyboard player

@Fade check this out if you are bored, my friend wrote it and it has me cracking up. https://www.davenportbrothersmusic.com/about also weirdly enough The Davenport Brothers already have had two different labels reach out to us, so somehow people are hearing about us even though we are brand new. Not hip hop at all so I wasn’t going to say too much about this band here.

LOL that's a really good about us. That's cool if it works out with the labels, good luck!

Thanks! We have YEARS of work ahead, but it’s coming together nicely and I haven’t done a whole record as a live band in years. All real instruments, real amps, no soft synths, no sampling etc. The front man/guitar player also insists on doing his parts correctly in one pass or we delete it do it again. No punch in’s no edits. So it’s pretty legit stuff. It’s lots of fun and sounding REALLY good. I will post some once it’s closer to finished.
