The Rhodes MK8 Deluxe with MIDI blends legendary sound with modern enhancements to empower a new generation of musical discovery with one of the world's most renowned keyboard instruments.

Sculpt your perfect tone with the MK8's detailed preamp section, featuring envelope shaping and drive controls, as well as a three-band parametric EQ with a sweepable mid-range. The versatile vari-pan effect features multiple waveshapes and a range extending into audio rate, empowering anything from subtle stereo movement to daringly modulated tones. On the right side of the panel, four analog effects help expand your sound even further, with a powerful compressor and bucket-brigade stereo phasor, chorus, and delay effects. Perfectly suited to the Rhodes sound, these lush and darkened effects are perfect for adding the final touches on a nostalgic tone, with plenty of depth for blasting off into far-out sonic territories.

With two independent inputs for expression pedals, you can assign expressive control over multiple panel parameters, cultivating plentiful opportunities for nuanced expressive gestures. Taking this classic instrument into new dimensions of control, the MK8 Deluxe with MIDI features both USB and 5-Pin MIDI connectivity, letting you control panel parameters from a DAW or even use the MK8's formidable polyphonic aftertouch keybed to control other instruments. The Deluxe version with MIDI comes in a walnut enclosure with a sultry, smoked-transparent hood and all black panel elements, elegantly communicating the MK8's storied legacy and vision for the future. The Rhodes MK8 Deluxe with MIDI offers a chance to join in on this unwritten history, bringing a legendary sound to your studio while empowering your expression towards sonic stories all your own.
