Good-sounding virtual grand piano
There are other virtual grand pianos that have more setting options, features. Nevertheless: the Ravel from UAD sounds very fine and works perfectly!

Fantastic Emulation For a Ton of Uses
I've always been hesitant to try the distressor because my instinct was that it did approximately what other compressors did, just not as well. If I have emulations for optical compressors and FET compressors, why would I want a distressor? I was very wrong. This is such a unique design and the utility of it is incredible. I find myself reaching for it way more often than I ever thought I would. Fantastic tone & compression

Unique, versatile and classy
Some prefer the UAD 1176 Classic Limiter Collection or the LA2A Collection, but, if I could only choose one collection, the Pultec Passive EQ would be the one. It's this sort of plugin that makes UAD indispensable. It's unique, versatile and classy. I love it!

Electra 88
The first Rhodes plug-in that is near the real electric 88. Impressed

So much like the hardware.
I have two Distressors and now I feel like I have 20.

Way too roomy
This piano is way too roomy to be useful for any project.

This is now my go-to Rhodes and I don't see using anything else any time soon.
Just incredible. I guess if I took a long enough time I could come up with something to use a negative bullet point, but it's not worth it. If you are looking for any suitcase keyboard-type sound, you should try this one first because if you can't get the sound you are looking for with this, something must be wrong.

as a plate reverb junkie…
this sounds shockingly great for being a more scaled down version. even if you have other things, get this one.

tried to avoid it
i wanted to not like this since i already have an army of comps but this just has a great tone. doesn’t crumble when pushed. a must.
R. Vargas
faithful and lovely
been vibing with this and it just sounds really dreamy and large.

Syrupy
if you’re looking for a chorus, this is it. a must on rock bass, this thing just sounds great on everything.
A. Courbat
Just the best Rhodes
At my opinion, just the best emulation ever. Also it's so versatile with the different amps, pedals and studio gear included. Easy to use and... the best thing is the sound !!!

Great sound, terrible software manager (UA Connect)
I love the plugin itself, really awesome sound, unfortunately I had a nightmare with UA Connect, I don't understand why a software manager is require if we're using iLok. UA Connect should be optional

Fabulous
This machine is an absolute bomb compared to the Arturia I'm using actually
It's , difficult to transcribe the emotion felt under the fingers and between the ears.
tested under Reaper in my dedicated home studio, on PC win Akai MPK 88 -apollo twin->soundId-->Focal alpha 80
the presets are extremely well chosen to feel immediately the palette of the machine.
there is a sublime dynamic which allows the smoothness and the big to very big sound under the pressure of the fingers, and there we feel all powerful
The richness in the details is fabulous

Adds great warmth
This is my goto tape machine

Water The F!!
This review is not about the sounds , which are excellent.
So, UA build a great B3, with a decent Leslie emulator. Bought that, works great. But you can’t feed it an external source. Then they build a standalone Leslie emulator (that’s probably better than the B3 version) that takes external feeds, but won’t work in Console - so bye bye live latency free tracking or performance with guitar.
Tried midi controlling the rotor speed? I have. It’s DOA. After an electric piano on an instrument track in PT, for example, the midi input feeds the piano, but the mod wheel does nothing. If your midi keyboard is controlling an instrument it can’t also control the rotor. Dumb.
It’s as if UA has gone out of their way to extract as much profit as possible from a single simulation…but not even done that properly.
PLEASE
1. Include the Leslie, with external input, in the B3 which loads of us use all the time.
2. Port it to use through Console
3. Sort out the midi implementation
4. Stop rinsing us.

Velocity?
If the playability had equaled the sounds I’d give it five stars, and buy it.
Despite the deal UAD are offering right now on this instrument I’ll be saving my money.
Very abrupt step between medium and full velocities makes it a twitchy ride. Hard to predict which notes of the chord will voice mellow and which will bark.
The sounds, amps and outboard work well but if you’ve ever played a Rhodes, you’ll be very puzzled indeed.
