Description
Overview
The Rhodes V8 Pro is the definitive official virtual instrument based on the acclaimed Rhodes MK8 electric piano. Designed for audio voyagers and professional musicians, this software combines a hyper-realistic modelling engine with an expansive sample library to deliver “The True Rhodes Sound” directly within your digital audio workstation.
While the standard V8 provides a stunning recreation of the MK8, the Pro Edition elevates the experience by offering forensic-level control and customization. It deeply models the intimate behavior of the MK8 FX board, providing an unprecedented level of tweakability and nuance for those who require absolute precision over their tone, timbre, and feel.
Key Details

- Pro FX Suite: VCA modelled compressor, 4-stage stereo phaser, and Bucket Brigade modelled delay and stereo chorus.
- Per-Note Editing: Dedicated “Setup” view allowing precise control over Timbre, Damper, Tuning, and Level for every single note.
