Hi guys,
I am running my Rhodes through LINE 6 Amplifi TT modelling amp, but getting fuzz/hum/noise with Volume knob over level 5. Is it normal or is there any solution for it? I also tried battery powered Line 6 Pod and it is better, until I am not close to Rhodes with it.

Please check my video, is it kind of interference from electricity? But why when over Volume 5 only?

Thanks for any advice
Peter

Hi,
I am quite annoyed by strong acoustic noise (clicks) caused by white and wooden hammer tips (the last 2 octaves).
Plus it seems to me, that sound of these octaves is rather aggresive and louder than mids and lows tones sound.

So my idea is to buy yellow hammer tips (are softer, the same are on mid octaves) and replace the white and wooden hammertips by them.

What do you thing about this idea and sound impact (I like softer sound)? Is there anybody with similar setup? I tried to replace one hammer tip, but it is hard to decide based on one tone.

Thanks
Peter

Hi,

I have Rhodes Mark I (1976) and keys (mechanics inside) does usual tapping (clicking)  sound (especially the highest 2 octaves). When I play through headphones, this taping is noisy and I would like to isolate or lower this not to disturb my neighbors.

Is it possible somehow without changing the Rhodes sound?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
do you have experience with installing MIDI to Rhodes Mark I? I know it is possible, there are several solutions:

http://www.midi9.com/

I would like to buy its parts and install it myself, do you know about any other solutions? What is the price and performance?

Thanks for tips and help
Peter
