Designed and developed by Rhodes, the V8 Plugin is the first and only official software recreation of the iconic MK8 electric piano. Captured with an incredible level of detail, it features 30,000 samples recorded at 96kHz/24-bit, preserving the authentic character and response of the original instrument. With 127 velocity layers and 14 articulations, every note feels natural and dynamic, just like a real Rhodes.
The built-in preamp mirrors the hardware controls of the MK8, giving you instant access to Drive, EQ and Envelope adjustments. A diode-based drive control lets you add everything from subtle warmth to powerful distortion, while the stereo Vari-Pan effect adds movement and depth with four waveform options. Whether you want clean, classic Rhodes tones or a more modern, processed sound, the V8 Plugin puts all the tools at your fingertips.
For those who want total customisation, the V8 Plugin features a ‘Setup’ view for per-note adjustments to Timbre, Damper, Tuning, and Level. The ‘Detail’ view offers further control over tuning, timbre, and mechanical noise, along with amp and cab simulations like the Rhodes ’79 Suitcase and Twin Tube Combo. With built-in mic options, including condenser and dynamic choices, you can fine-tune your tone even further.
With 72 factory presets and 72 factory profiles, the V8 Plugin provides an extensive collection of ready-to-use tones, crafted by top artists and producers. Whether you're looking for classic Rhodes warmth or unique modern textures, the presets offer a quick and inspiring starting point. Perfect for both live and studio use, the V8 Plugin delivers the rich, expressive sound of a real Rhodes, with the flexibility of digital software.
