Most of the geezers posting have never owned or laid a finger on any of the original hardware versions I don't care for most of the fussing over "this top-rated plugin doesn't sound as much like a real Rhodes as this other top-rated plugin does" for several of the following reasons: You could also try this excellent Reaktor freebie:ĭiva is great but that's synth emulation, he hasn't asked about those, yet. Night Flight and Big Rock combined is as close as you'll get to the JMJ Eminent 310u sound without buying the actual instruments. It has a good Small Stone emulation built in but the hands down best Small Stone emulation is the Arts Acoustic Big Rock. The closest I've heard in VSTi is the Night Flight String Synth. It was created with an Eminent 310u organ, an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser pedal and a delay. I don't know if you've heard the famous swirling string sound on Jean Michel Jarre's albums 'Oxygene' and 'Equinoxe' but that sound is one of my favourite synth sounds. I own various Roland vintage analog synths and the DIVA Roland section is spot on. I'm a big fan of VB3 for Hammond and Leslie sounds.įor Wurli and Rhodes, the NI Scarbee ones are hard to beat.įor Roland, Korg and Moog synths, DIVA (u-he) is my pick.
