**The best of the Rhodes are now included in the Yamaha C5 Piano set**
*See further down this post*
I've made some changes to the factory Electric Pianos to get something like a Fender Rhodes piano set.
There are 32 EPs in this set (4 pages). There is no extra PCM required at all, it makes use of factory samples so no Ram usage. This set was made on the Pa3x but it should be compatible for 4x/3x/3xle/700/1000. (It has been reported to work also on Pa 900).

Features include 32 all new Electric Pianos including some versions of the Fender Rhodes and the Vintage EPs that automatically sync their Tremolo Effects to both Style and Midi Tempo.

You can download the set (latest version 3.1 October 19, 2018) from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-dXzRW ... sp=sharing
The above will put 32 new sounds in the first 32 positions (4 pages) of User 1 Sounds.
If you prefer to load to user 2 use the following:

and to load to User 3 use this:

Here is a short demo of Straight Rhodes, Distortion, Slow, Medium and Fast Tremolo Rhodes:

If you select one of the Tempo Synced EPs playing a midi file or Style will match the tremolo to the song tempo. You also have options to double or 1/2 the tremolo frequency.
If you are just playing sounds without backing and you choose one of the EPs marked * you can adjust all three parameters as you play just like a real Fender Rhodes. See Photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j3OpJj ... sp=sharing
1. Tremolo Depth (adjust with FX Master 2).
(Menu, Mixer Tuning, FX Send Tab, adjust Upper 1 Master 2)
2. Overdrive Amount (FX Master 3)
3. Tremolo Tempo (adjust with Tempo Buttons (holding down + or - then turn dial for quick adjustments).
If you are playing with a Style or Midi you can still of course adjust Tremolo Depth and Overdrive Amount. Don't worry about making changes as they are only temporary - going back into the sound will re-set it. You can if you wish store your favourite adjustments as STS's in Songbook so the exact setting is there to suit your song.

Enjoy,
John

Version 2 (Includes options to link tremolo effects to tempo.)
Version 2.1 (Fixes polyphony note drop-outs on long pedal-down runs)
Version 3.0 (September 22) now available with overdrive sound options
Version 3.1 (October 19) improved sounds.
The latest version is in links in the first post.

If you are unsure how to load new sounds see this thread that has installation instructions for the C5 Piano and follow the same procedure with the only difference being no PCM samples for the Electric Pianos:

Hi John,

Just downloaded and installed your EP's in my PA4X.
Compliments, they sound absolutely great!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for that Sam - Nice Demo!

**Midi Files**
You can download some midi files that work well with the EPs in the set here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1crz2tp ... sp=sharing

Most of these work well with the midi tempo synced versions of the EPs

Songs include:
Hello
Just the Way You Are
New Kid in Town
Riders on the Storm
Daniel
and others

All midis include Lyrics and Chords so PRESS THE LYRICS button!

it works on PA900. Thank you

Version 3.1 released October 19, 2018
Some improvements to sounds.
(Some bass tones were too loud and better volume balance).

Very nice Reuben and nice playing Sam. Thanks for posting this and the midi files too. Can't have too many midi's!

Dear John

It seems that the link for the Rhodes piano for Pa3x doesn't work anymore?

Is it possible to restore it again, or refresh it?

Mayo

Please upload it again and give a new link!

You don't have to load the Yamaha pianos if you don't want them. Just drill down into the set and choose the Rhodes and other EPs contained in the set.
The "How to Install" section in the first post of this link explains how to do this.
So choose these from the set:
Rhodes Clean
Rhodes Slow
Rhodes Med
Rhodes Fast
Rhodes Tempo Trem (use tempo wheel to change trem speed on this one)
Dyno EP
Vintage EP
Dist Amp EP
Wurly Combo

If you choose just these there are no extra samples loaded at all, so zero Ram use. They are just modifications of the internal sounds. (the original sounds will not be affected).

Enjoy
