Addictive Keys Fender Rhodes Mark One
The electric pianos in the Addictive Keys series feature a meticulously sampled Fender Rhodes, captured using various miking techniques—though quite differently from the Studio Grand. While the sound of an acoustic grand piano depends on the interplay of strings, soundboard, body, and recording space, the sound-shaping elements of an electric piano are electronic. In addition to the pure line sound, a Fender Rhodes takes on a completely different character when played through a combo amp and effects. Addictive Keys Mark One captures all of this with remarkable authenticity.
The extensive editing options allow for easy sound customization. In addition, this Fender Rhodes offers both high recording quality and its unmistakable charm. The sampled model must be a classic Seventy-Three Mark One, prized for its wonderfully smooth, “mellow” timbre. While not as responsive as a Mark Two, it retains enough power for bold, expressive Rhodes sounds—especially when paired with an amp, compressor, and distortion. If you’re after that buttery-soft Rhodes sound for jazzy, atmospheric chord progressions, this is the perfect choice!
