8. RhodyMK1 by Wahnsyn
Rhodes Instrument
A Synthedit VST plugin from Plugindex German website : it has a clean sound, i think it’s based on a soundfont / wav bank. It’s very usable. Unlike the other “classic” emulations, it features a vibrato effect instead of a tremolo effect, it’s strange but that makes unusual sounds!
9. Clavia Lab by Simple Media
Clavia Lab VST
This plugin is intended for e-piano sounds and also organ and clavinet / harpsichord sounds.
