You already know that most software, and even hardware, based on samples falls well short of the mark. There have been a lot of attempts to emulate the Fender Rhodes. There’s nothing quite like playing a Rhodes… except playing the Stage-73 V. The Stage-73 V brings you all the signature sounds that propelled the instruments and their players into the spotlight and onto the charts. With a tonal range spanning smooth bell-like qualities to an aggressive bark depending upon how hard they’re played, these seminal keyboards have been in continual use across just about every style imaginable right through to today. These instruments were used by a who’s who of keyboardists who pioneered mid-century jazz, funk, R&B and rock. The venerable sound of the Fender Rhodes simply refuses to go out of style. Whether you’re playing yesterday’s hits or making tomorrow’s, the sound of the Stage-73 is a true player in its own right. Classic amps and an array of effect pedals round out the virtual electric piano you’ve always dreamed of having. You can even easily pop the top and customize the various mechanical components to make your instrument unique. We’re talking total sonic and aesthetic fidelity to the originals.

We modeled both the Fender Rhodes Suitcase Piano and Stage Piano-including separate 19 models of the Stage in order to capture the difference in their components. The Stage-73 uses our award-winning modeling technology to faithfully reproduce the tine-based sound and playing experience of the most loved electric pianos of all time. The Stage-73 gives you actual authentic modeling of both Stage and Suitcase versions of the most popular electric piano on the planet -completed with unparalleled control of virtual mechanics, a complement of effects pedals, and built-in classic amps.
