9. History: The story behind the Electro 2 instruments NORD ELECTRO 2 V2.2x
Page 58
Here are the Rhodes electric pianos Clavia has sampled for the Nord Electro 2:
1. Rhodes 1 (V2.0 Factory Sound): Rhodes Stage Piano
73 Mark 1, built in May 1978 and adjusted to ‘deep’
timbre. The so-called volume adjustment was set to
‘low’.
2. Rhodes 2 (V2.0 Factory Sound): Rhodes Suitcase 73
Mark I, built in January 1975. We fine-tuned the
mechanics and adjusted the tines according to the
‘ideal’ timbre adjustment. The volume adjustment was
set to ‘close’.
3. Rhodes 3 (additional sound): Rhodes Stage Piano 73
Mark II, built in April 1981 and adjusted to ‘shallow’
timbre. Remember this sound? It became famous
thanks to the great Chick Corea. The volume adjust-
ment is set to ‘close’.
Given our research, we couldn't help but wonder whatever happen with the Mark IV. As far as we can tell,
the Mark IV was on the design table, but for some reason it never went into production. Instead, the Mark
V came out.
