Elevator Pitch

Rhodes Mk8 Midi

Rhodes in association with Dave Starkey and Cyril Lance developed a midi system for the analogue Mk8 tine piano

Product Description

Rhodes Mk8 Midi

A custom Midi solution was created for the Rhodes Mk8 analogue tine piano with Rhodes, Dave Starkey and Cyril Lance which includes a software application. One of the key features is the polyphonic aftertouch and the custom system that is fitted to each piano. It has been very successful as product option with over 80% of new orders opting to add the system to their orders.


How It’s Innovative

The Rhodes Mk8 Midi system innovates not only by its custom design that fits perfectly into the Rhodes Mk8 piano, but also adds Polyphonic aftertouch to give new levels of expression to allow compatibility with the most forward thinking vsts and digital instruments, while the performer enjoys the unique feel and action of a real Rhodes piano. Previous midi systems for analogue tine pianos have never had such features or performed as brilliantly as this.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

Having the Rhodes Mk8 at the centre of any studio or live situation is a beautiful thing, able to control all areas of the live performance, or to be the centrepiece in a modern recording studio without compromise is hugely inspiring.

Expansion Plans

We plan to integrate the system into our Stage 61 Keyboard soon, and we also plan to create a retro fit kit for older Rhodes pianos.

Commercialization

The upgrade is now fully developed and being installed into pianos on a daily basis within our factory in Leeds, and the Midi upgrade is an option any customer can add to their order.
