I think the Rhodes sounds sweet with the small stone phaser.

Here I use the Rhodes with some jazzballad chords. The amplifier isRoland JC-160.

I hope you like it!

Synthtopia regular Torley has been really busy lately, exploring his massive array of software synths and sharing his thoughts on them in his YouTube videos.

Torley’s videos often baffle a few Synthtopia readers, because he doesn’t do formal reviews, but instead tends to open up his virtual instruments and see how the sounds inspire him. Go along for the ride, though, and you’ll find that he makes interesting ideomatic use of the instruments and their sounds.

In this case, he demonstrates not just the bow chicka wow power of Native Instruments’ Elektrik Piano, but also riffs on what Philip Glass might do on a Wurly.

Gearwire stops by Deltronics repair service in Chicago to check out a Fender Rhodes that’s undergoing some minor surgery.
