Optimising the iconic Rhodes MK8 piano, the MK8 MIDI system introduces cutting-edge technology that seamlessly integrates with the timeless feel and playability of the MK8. Designed for precision, expressiveness, and reliability, the MIDI functionality extends the instrument’s capabilities while maintaining the signature Rhodes touch and tone. Every detail has been carefully engineered to ensure flawless performance in both studio and live settings.
Rhodes’ proprietary new MIDI sensing technology guarantees zero interference with the authentic feel of the MK8 Kluge Keyboard.
With non-optical sensors, the MK8 avoids issues caused by ambient light interference, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience.
MIDI and piano electronics are fully isolated (both power and signals), resolving noise, ground loop, and interference issues. Perfect for studio and stage connections with multiple devices.
Continuous monitoring of key position delivers unparalleled dynamic expression for the most musical performance.
Channel and Polyphonic Aftertouch provide ultimate per-note expressiveness for a nuanced playing experience.
Supports sustain pedal output with multiple modes for added control and flexibility.
Offers MIDI implementation of most MK8 front panel controls (Preamp and FX), with over 30 adjustable parameters.
USB MIDI In/Out for seamless integration with the Rhodes MIDI Control App. The bi-directional USB MIDI allows the MK8 to control VST’s while also enabling MIDI input control to adjust the MK8’s parameters.
MIDI features are extendable via firmware updates, enabling future capability expansion.
