Best Free Rhodes Vst 2019

I would say that NeoSoul Keys is the one to go for - but what I'd really do is save up for a real one, even if you can't afford it right now! The action of a Rhodes is not as refined as an acoustic piano and a lot of people through the years have complained about the action being too heavy or sluggish but you can set them up well if you know what you're doing and the response of the Rhodes. Sampleson has released Fire ($29 value), a virtual instrument which emulates the Rhodes Piano Bass electric piano. The instrument, available in VST and AU plugin formats for compatible digital audio workstations on PC and Mac, can be downloaded completely free of charge for the next 60 days using the coupon code found in this article.Read More.

When making R&B or Neo Soul, a good keyboard may be on the priority list, however it is not always necessary.

A decent keyboard replicating a good rhodes or epiano sound will cost from $2,000 and upwards. If you already have a nice keyboard for gigging then fine, however if you are a bedroom producer, then your MIDI controller can be just fine. We can use this to control a VST.

What VST shoud I use?

There are many out there, however I do recommend Lounge Lizard. You not going to get another epiano VST that produces the same authentic rhodes sound. Not only does it produce the sound, you get the organic warmth, the grit, the bark and all the mechanical bumps and clanks you need for this genre of music. Do check out the below video from an example of the sound.

This is just one present I like to play, however to there so many presets setting to alter the sound.
