Yesterday i got the TR Jr - Tubed Rhodes direct download from Sampletekk.
The recording is excellent. The velocity layers are very consistent and that helped elevate the experience and live playing. It was nice to hear the good old analogue distortion coming in at the higher levels which get brighter and crispier but without losing their warmth and presence.
Talking of warmth, you can almost feel the warmth from the tubes emmitting in each note. Just play a minor 7th chord to start with and you get in the Rhodes feeling immediately!
First thing i played was Moricone's "la ballade de Sacco et Venzetti", very inspiring samples. I haven't tried it in a full mix yet, but judging from the sound/stereo field they will fit very nicely.
I found the programming and patches to be "Ready to play", they required no tweaking at all in either velocity levels, release volumes or anything else.
Just a heads up. Something you won't regret getting.
