I created this instrument to give you something personal.
Something I treasure and have used in my music for so many years
and because I want you to experience the real thing
the authentic sound plus a bunch of handmade modern presets
for any type of music.
This is Sanjay's Rhodes.
It's not a sample pack, it's a playable software instrument
I sampled directly from my own Fendor Rhodes stage piano built in 1975.
I've spent the last few months recording
it - every note to recreate a quality software instrument you can play in your
studio and using your beats, your songs, any way you want -
it's royalty free and it's affordable.
The Fender Rhodes electric piano is an iconic instrument and
nothing beats the real thing! This is the original! The Mark 1.
Not a remake.... not modified. And it has a magical mellow tone and it
can get gritty too.
It's sounds have been used by so many artists from
The Weekend, Michael Jackson, John Legend, Radiohead,
Bruno Mars, Queen, Herbie Hancock, Travis Scott,
Stevie Wonder and countless others. This is by far my most prized instrument!
It's hard to find these days and so many virtual instruments that try to mimic
the sound just don't cut it.
I've created 2 versions of Sanjay's Rhodes! Let's talk about the FULL version
first. One gigabyte of samples! 10 presets
including a "Dry" preset with no effects just the raw sound so you can create
anything you want from it. I've sampled every note twice for 2
velocity settings on the "Dry" and "Chorus" presets they sound
just like the original because well, they're recorded directly from it.
Both "Dry" and "Chorus" can be played with normal velocity for that mellow full
sound or get gritty for that classic Rhodes growl. It feels so natural and
sounds amazing. I then created 8 bonus presets adding effects to give you
some more sounds that fit into so many genres. I've created pads, bases
lo-fi presets and more! Everything is handmade by me from the original samples!
The "Chorus PRO" preset
is my favorite! Such a classic and full sound and if you want to design your own
sounds start with the "Dry PRO" preset and add your own effects to make
whatever you want. Okay, let's talk about the LIGHT version.
The LIGHT version of Sanjay's Rhodes contains
2 presets you get the "Chorus" Rhodes every note recorded with 1 velocity
setting - mellow heaven. And you get the basement
preset which is perfect for lots of stuff Lo-Fi, Hip-Hop, Trap,
Pop.... honestly this is the preset I keep reaching for myself
every time I start creating. Both versions
FULL and LIGHT are compatible with any DAW.
Just load up one of the presets in a sampler: Ableton sampler,
Logic sampler, Contact and I've even created an SFZ (Sforzando) version
which is compatible with the free Sforzando plugin. I've included
instructions as well in case you're new to using
sampled instruments. Whichever version you choose
I'm going to use 10% of the earnings for a good cause.
Last year we took some of the money we earned from this channel and donated
keyboards to an orphanage and with your purchase of Sanjay's
Rhodes we'll do it again. Helping more people make music just like
you and I do. Of course I'll share what you make
possible in a future video on my channel. You'll find links in the description of
this video to get my virtual instrument! For now, I hope you enjoy
my first virtual instrument. It's a piece of me
for you and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Hey! Post your music on instagram and tag me on it using the hashtag (#)
