hello, just a simple question.

I have Rhodes piano samples that are "looped"...

If I hold the key for a long time, it remains at the same "level" (Sustain part
of ADSR)...
-> On a real piano, the level "decreases" ...

Is it possible to make the "loop-part" of a sample decrease in level ?


PS : maybe the MPC is not the best sampler for instruments like
piano, etc. (I also have a sustain pedal problem...)
Which expander/sampler do you use for good Rhodes sounds ?
(Clavia Nord Electro is far too expensive for me, I'm looking for a 200E euro
solution max!)


Thanks !

theres free epiano plugins that are not too shabby...

a dx-7 does some kinds nicely... any proteus will have one or two...

on your MPC rhodes patch, you should set your sustain level lower and set the decay rate to a larger amount to get closer to the ADSR shape you want, mess around until it feels right.

if you are looking for a cheap rack synth that'll do rhodes/keys/organs/pianos/basses etc i'd recommend a yamaha tx81z http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/tx81z.shtml or even a yamaha dx200 http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/dx200.shtml

where can I change the decay rate with OS4.99 ?

you'd better use os2 for ADSR
