But the question is : does it makes such a huge difference when it’s melted in a mix ? Remember it’s also quite heavy on CPU, if you own an old device, think about it. To me, NSK versions have an higher level in realism, something more dirty and authentic. The old Module was really light CPU and I feel that the new one with AUv3 support has been remodeled to be lighter. It sounds great, fairly clean with a good dynamic. I’d say that 95% user would be satisfied by Module/Scarbee’s experience. We have the same experience (I never tried Apesoft one’s too) and I’m sharing this feeling.

Unless you are a real Rhodes nerd, I’m sure you’ll be more than happy with Scarbee, although if NSK 1 is similar in price personally I’d go for that.

I still think NSK has the edge in terms of the sheer realism and variety of sounds, but Scarbee is v good, and a bargain at the current sale price.ĭo the 7 day free trial and find out for yourself. Since Module went AU I’ve been really enjoying the sound and simplicity of Scarbee. I haven’t tried the Apesoft EP but it’s meant to be really good. I owned, gigged and recorded with a Mk1 Stage 73 for a good number of years, and have always been incredibly impressed by Neo-Soul Keys (both versions 1&2) - they are both superb.Īlthough NSK2 arguably has more sounds, I still prefer the UI of version 1 which has chorus, reverb, tremolo/pan, EQ, preamp etc all on one screen. My favorite collection is still the choice of EPs inside Keyscape. I've heard mixed reviews about it but none of them concluded that it was any better soundwise. It had extensive MIDI powers which was supposed to me one of its main selling points. I don’t think anyone considers it to have any advantages soundwise over the classic Mk 1 & 2 (& even 4) versions.

I'm interested to hear how this one plays compared to the others already included and apeSoft's Electric said:įrom what little I know the Mk 7 pretty much bombed. My guess is that it never took off and they quietly faded away. I've only seen a few video of folks like George Duke and Jeff Lorber playing on them, and after the debut I never heard anything. Whomever currently owns the Rhodes brand name put out a modern version of the classic Rhodes piano with mechanical bits and modern electronics like MIDI and general connectivity. The Mark VII debuted around 10 years ago.
