Rhodes made in 1970Fully analog sound designVST3 and AU

The third instrument in the series, and the same rule as the first two: the most natural sound, without unnecessary functionality.

A sound that would not provoke, but would calmly tell you a secret with every note — after which you would want to settle under a blanket, dim the light and think about what you have just heard. In Russian, that secret is a tayna.


At a Glance

  • One articulation, two versions the original sustain and the stylized sustain
  • Four audio lines in the first version, each with its own microphone chain
  • Every sample through tape a vintage Studer, for a warmer and less sterile sound
  • The X slider built from the Rhodes samples themselves, with cassette tape, eurorack and pedals
  • No plug-ins used every sound and every process in the sound design is analog
  • A noise from the past the old Fender combo shakes on some notes, and that was kept deliberately

The two before itWremena One and Wremena Two, recorded before the move that this instrument was made around

The instrument was recorded in the spring of 2021, between packing suitcases, with no concept and a good deal of scepticism. The concept arrived during the sessions rather than before them, which is the opposite order from how the first two were made.
