Rhodes Mark 7 AM 73
LegacyReleased 2007
The Active MIDI Mark 7 was the first production Rhodes with a proper MIDI system: key sensing with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch, pitch and mod wheels, USB and a full set of DIN ports, on top of an active preamp with sweepable-mid EQ and tremolo. Still a real tine piano underneath.
Spares: Rhodes sells the common wear parts on its own website: tines, hammer tips, damper felts, pickups, grommets and springs, made for every Rhodes and Fender Rhodes. Official spares ↗
