In the V8 Pro version, Rhodes deeply models the behavior of the MK8 FX board, pairing a VCA compressor and phaser with Bucket-Brigade chorus and delay. Presets designed by industry-leading artists and producers are also included.

Pianology
Rhodes Pianology is a piano-sound plugin featuring three types of piano: grand piano, upright piano, and electric grand. Real iconic instruments carefully prepared, tuned, and sampled by Rhodes’ engineering team are included, faithfully reproducing the character and playing nuances unique to each piano. It contains pianos with distinctly different characters — a classic American concert grand, a Japanese upright, and a Japanese vintage electric grand — making it versatile across genres. The interface is simple and intuitive, with the same preamp and effect modules as the V8 series plugin. The Global Tune feature lets you fine-tune the pitch of each piano, and the Timbre Shift feature lets you change the piano tone in real time.
Rhodes Anthology
Rhodes Anthology is a comprehensive virtual instrument that faithfully recreates four classic Rhodes models. The historical evolution of Rhodes electric pianos is condensed into one plugin, letting you experience the unique sound of each era. Carefully sampled with high resolution, it expresses delicate nuances from soft tones to aggressive performance. It also integrates seamlessly with other Rhodes plugins.
Rhodes Wurli
Rhodes Wurli is a virtual instrument that faithfully reproduces the sound of the legendary 1974 reed-type electric piano “Wurlitzer 200A” through meticulous sampling. You can experience this piano — loved by countless artists such as Ray Charles, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, and Elton John — in its full warm, soulful, and at times gritty character. The included Timbre Shift feature lets you freely adjust the vintage-model character, and even the vibrato circuit and the saturation of the original front speaker are reproduced. The high-performance, intuitive UI is based on the same engine as Rhodes Anthology, designed to keep you focused on music creation without hindering creativity.
Rhodes Chroma by Cherry Audio
Rhodes Chroma by Cherry Audio is a virtual instrument that brings the innovative analog polyphonic synthesizer “Rhodes Chroma” — released in 1982 — back to life for the modern era. The rich modulation capabilities and 16-voice analog sound of this iconic instrument, loved by famous musicians such as Herbie Hancock, are reconstructed through precise modeling. By using 16 types of signal-routing presets, it can handle a wide range of sound design — from the basic VCO-VCF-VCA configuration to oscillator sync, filter FM, and ring modulation. In addition, the legendary Chroma Expander is integrated, letting you build thick soundscapes via layers and splits. With more than 700 presets and built-in effects, it is a synth ready for action across many genres, from vintage to modern.
V-Pan
V-Pan is an effect plugin that converts the legendary “Vari-Pan” stereo panning circuit found in the Rhodes MK8 piano into software. As an evolution of the stereo vibrato featured on the 1970s suitcase piano, it adds depth and spatial movement to your audio sources. Pan rate ranges from ultra-slow to audio-rate, capable of producing ring-modulator-like effects. It also includes continuously variable waveforms, smoothing, slew adjustment, and BPM sync — a highly creative tool for adding dimension and motion to vocals, synths, guitars, and any other source.
V-Rack
V-Rack is a multi-effects plugin inspired by the analog preamp and effects circuitry of Rhodes’ flagship “MK8,” combining seven essential effects for music production and performance into a single interface. It features three drive modes, a resonant EQ, Vari-Pan, a sidechain-capable compressor, a 4-stage phaser, and chorus and delay built on BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay). Each module offers a wealth of extended parameters, including pre/post switching, wave shaping, frequency selection, and EQ-point configuration. A design that completes within a single plugin keeps your mix simple while offering extremely high flexibility in sound design.
Vari-Amp
Vari-Amp is a multi-function preamp plugin specialized in tone shaping, combining six historical Rhodes preamps with eight carefully selected amp & mic modeling options. Preamp circuits extracted from Rhodes’ historical models such as MK1 and MK8 each have different EQ curves and harmonic characteristics, adding unique color and warmth to any source. The amp and mic sections deliver a wide range of tones, from clean solid-state to tube drive. Independent wet/dry blend, three drive modes, flexible compression settings, and a combination of global EQ and reverb make it adaptable to any scale of audio processing, from a single track to an entire mix. It is a professional-grade tone-shaping tool that combines vintage flavor with modern usability.
