Description
Electra 88 Vintage Keyboard Studio gives musicians and producers the inspired album-ready sound of a 1970 Rhodes Eighty Eight Suitcase Mark 1 electric piano,* along with a fully stocked "vintage" studio of pro production tools — for in-the-box tones nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
Cast your Spell with Authentic Rhodes Magic
Electra 88's sound and playability goes beyond generic electric piano plug-ins and expensive sample libraries. Now you can get the rich three-dimensional tones of a meticulously maintained vintage instrument and its entire signal path, at your fingertips.
Bedazzle your Keys with the Sound of a Pro Studio

Shape your Tones with Classic Stompboxes and Amps
From the glorious bark of a perfectly emulated high-powered American tube combo amp to the funky sounds of a vintage Mu-Tron III or Vox wah, Electra 88 gives you jaw-dropping emulations of vintage gear, for electric piano tones that will always sit in the mix and are qualified to satisfy.*
