Rhodes Chroma Demo
download here
via Norman Fay of Vietgrove on AH:
"The "big job" of this year recently got completed - Tony Allgood of Oakley Synthesisers serviced my Rhodes Chroma and did some fairly major work (incl the power supply replacement as detailed on www.till.com, with mods to work on UK power).
It is awesome to have the Chroma running on 8 voices, to have the parameter slider working, and to have the instrument running in almost eerie silence with no buzz & hum from the power supply. I'm sure the thing sounds a bit cleaner as well.
Many thanks, Tony.
I threw this together in like 1hr, using Cubase, SIR reverb and digitalfishphones "blockfish" compressor. There is probably too much reverb on it, sorry! All of the sounds are derived from the chroma, I think there's 10 layers altogether, though not all at once. One of the layers was sequenced using "zeit", the rest played in by hand. It's just a faff about, really."

great!
ReplyDeleteI really love it when people always put up sound samples of synths. What drives me completely bonkers is that they often run the synth in question through FX. WTF? Isn't the point of a synth demo to hear what it sounds like in the raw? The most damaging of FX on a synth demo is reverb. What a great way to completely smear the nuances of a sweet vintage synth.
ReplyDeleteTony is rad.
ReplyDeleteTony is indeed great. Dealing with him has been a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't really a "demo" as such, it's just a little piece I wrote. If I'd put it up dry, someone would have doubtless complained about that. Who plays their synths dry anyway? Some echo & reverb is pretty essential IMO.
Wow, what a great sounding synth. Somewhere between a CS80 & Prophet T8.
ReplyDeletePlease can you do more
ReplyDeleteThe Rhodes Chroma has electric vibrancy down pat.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's a sweet sounding synth. Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!!!

Had one and dumped it. They are about as fun to program as an ancient VCR without on-screen programming.
ReplyDeleteA very sweet synth, and a wonderful demo. Left me wanting more!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
