Vintage Rhodes Piano Plus For Mac

The Rhodes piano is a musical instrument that enjoyed a great popularity during the 1970s. It differs from an acoustic piano through the way sound is generated, as it uses an electromagnetic pickup.

Vintage Rhodes Piano Plus is a simple macOS app that can reproduce this music on your Mac. It features training and playing modes, so that you can study famous compositions or record your own.

The virtual keyboard is controlled with a range or preset keys, but these cannot be customized. Also, it would be helpful if it were possible to have each virtual key’s binding displayed at all times, especially for beginners.

You cannot switch between chords, change the piano style, start or stop recording using keyboard shortcuts.

You can start by launching the app in training mode and studying the compositions of various famous musicians. Each key is highlighted in the correct order, so all you have to do press them in quick succession as accurately as possible.

It is also possible to record your sessions and capture sound from a connected microphone. The music is saved to WAV files that can be played in the application.

You can choose between multiple piano styles, depending on the type of music you are trying to reproduce, as well as switch between octaves at any time.

While Vintage Rhodes Piano Plus is not particularly impressive from a visual standpoint, it is not disappointing either. However, it would have been great if some interface elements could be resized or hidden altogether.

Overall, Vintage Rhodes Piano Plus is a simple application that could prove useful to those who want to experience and reproduce the sounds generated by the Rhodes piano.
