Legend Vs Rhodes

[@nicklisac4667]

The beauty of the Rhodes is it's simplicity. You sit and play and enjoy. You concentrate on the music because you know the sound is exactly as it's meant to be. No need to tweak & test & tweak some more to try and get it to sound as close as possible to the sound of an iconic instrument because it already is that iconic instrument. Just because we live in a digital world doesn't mean we have like it. 🤣 But I do love your videos always👍👍

Nick, for the under $1000 category, I'm looking for a live performance keyboard with a believable Rhodes patch, along with a good piano and ideally a Solina string patch. I've narrowed it down to the Yamaha CK61 and Roland Juno DS61. Do you remember which one has the more realistic Rhodes sound? Do either have release samples? I love that sound from a real Rhodes.

@@cbvb the Yamaha I reckon

[@cbvb]

@@nickfoleyuk thanks Nick! Love your vids. BTW do you remember if the Yamaha has a key off/release sample on the Rhodes patch?

[@nickfoleyuk]

@@cbvb ooh that’s a good question. One of the keyboard I reviewed in that batch did, but only one. I remember mentioning it in the video but I don’t recall which one I’m afraid.

[@cbvb]

@@nickfoleyuk No worries. Thanks for your swift responses and incredibly helpful vids.

Love the concept and sound features. But, would be interested to know the companies track record and reliability. Been wanting to test drive one in California but unfortunately couldn’t find dealer support. Love your presentation’s. 🎧

Obviously you can’t beat the original, but the Legend is pretty nice….😊

[@frankweber356]

It would have been more interesting to adjust the legend via software to the original. You can edit how close the mic and how hard the fork sounds.......i think it´s possible to make it sound quite close to the original.

das Mitteband am Legend ist meiner Meinung nach falsch eingestellt. Ich habe eine Legend und es klingt sehr gut.

[@sazieboy64]

Great vid. I just got a yamaha ck88 and I thought the rhodes sound was s bit dull but its a good match for your rhodes. Now Im happy. The legend is brighter. Could it be an age thing. You mentioned in hammond video that they get duller as they age is it the same with the rhodes?

Have you done a review/musical assessment of Nantucket Sleigh ride?

[@louiscornale5667]

Great job Nick but how about wooly bully watch it now 😮

[@spekterum]

Both have great sounds. Both were made for certain music and certain era. Musical instruments are infinite.

It's The Fender Rhodes Hands Down

[@jfmax2000]

..But in All Fairness I Will Say The Legends a Nice Piece of Gear.

[@RGGifford]

The Legend is more than fine enough for stage but digital just can’t replicate the nuances that the real electro mechanical pianos have. There just isn’t anything like the real thing.

Yo cant beat the Original rodhes but the other in my opinión is more versátile and practícal for the Studio records. The legend has more high end and the original Rodhes has that low end. Sorry my English

[@TheAndonen]

Yes, it's pretty noticable but I guess it could be rectified with some EQ. It also sounded like Legend volume was cranked up so it contibuted to the difference.

Hi

[@dietmarschlichtherle7061]

Rhodes is the winner 🙂

[@johnodell9536]

Rhodes wins so far

No se parece en nada, yo vendi este año mi mark 2 y me arrepiento, es el que mejor suena para. el legend no suena bonito
