Here ya go folks/ A Better Rhodes Emulation

I figured I'd post my personal Rhodes settings to help those who are having trouble getting a decent sound. I modeled this after my actual Rhodes. Here we have a Mark 1 early 70's Suitcase emulation. The tremolo depth (auto pan) is set to zero and the I use the phaser effect, but it's off. I like to activate these when I perform on the fly, just as I would on the real thing. You'll definitely notice a little bell sound (not too much though) when playing lightly and when you dig in some nice bark! I also took the release sound down a little for a reason. When it is too loud it makes the sound not as authentic as how a darker MK 1 would sound. Believe it or not I also had to cut the bass down too. Try it and enjoy!!!
