I just got a Nord Electro 4D and really like it. The Wurly it came with was better than the Rhodes sample. Nord just made a new Rhodes sample available. Here is a link to the Electric Piano Sample download page:

Why are some of you saying stretch tuning vs. equal temperament?
You can have both in the same tuning. The equal temperament is one octave. Usually F below mid C to F above. Stretching the treble is a personal preference. Ours ears tend to hear treble as being flat, so some stretch the notes to sound more pleasant. The same is true in reverse in the bass, to some degree.
Others may differ, but streetch tunning a rhodes is pointless because its own nature, not being an acoustic instrument it couldnt show inharmonicity, lets say all the sounds come from the very same spacial location -the speaker- so there couldn't be a different perception of frecuencies because of a different placement of the "strings". Being that said, some people strech tunes rhodes just to match any other instrument on stage.
A very simple trick to doing this voicing is to untighten the inner screw to that the tine is above the pickup tip and then play the key hard repeatedly as you tighten it. Just when you reach the overtone harmonics (you'll hear less deep sound and higher octave harmonics from the note), untighten it a very small bit to bring back the more fuller fundamental tone. You're more or less at the ideal spot then. If you play the note gently, you'll get nice Rhodes warmth and then a little harder should deliver the bark.
howdy. just joined this forum, but thought i'd weigh in. i've been using my rhodes with a tweed bassman for a few years and it sounds excellent. they have a good amount of headroom and a relatively balanced tone. they aren't as scooped in the midrange as twins, so it's a different kind of sound. but it sits well in the mix with a band. (they're also a lot lighter than a twin!)
the later silverface bassmans also sound nice, but they break up much sooner and are also a little more scooped sounding.
Hi,
Has anyone tried the ehx cathedral?
