We’re proud to introduce Rhodes Wurli – a faithful recreation of the classic reed-based electric piano that shaped five decades of iconic music. From the unmistakable bark of the midrange to the warmth of its vibrato, Wurli brings the expressive character of the 200A into your DAW with stunning realism.
Captured by the same expert team behind the acclaimed V8 and Anthology plugins, Wurli is built to inspire – whether you’re chasing vintage tones, creating modern textures, or layering it all together.
Honouring a Rich Sonic Heritage of the Rhodes Wurli
The 200A became a defining sound of its era. From Ray Charles and Joni Mitchell to Beck and Supertramp, it shaped everything from soul and jazz to pop and indie. Its tight, midrange-forward tone offered something different from the Rhodes pianos of the time – sharper, punchier, and deeply expressive.
With Rhodes Wurli, we set out to preserve that legacy – capturing the nuance of a perfectly restored 200A, from its natural overtones to its unique imperfections. The result is an instrument that feels as raw and responsive as the original.
Simple, Purposeful, and Built to Play
At the heart of Wurli is a beautifully restored 200A electric piano, captured in painstaking built on the same powerful engine as Rhodes Anthology, Wurli’s interface pairs retro design with modern control. Rotary dials, LED indicators, and one-knob-per-function navigation make it easy to shape your sound without interrupting your flow.
Explore deep customisation with tools like:
- Timbre Shift – revoice the instrument in real time for unique tonal variations
- Global Tune – match your pitch to any session with precision
- Authentic Vibrato – modelled from the original 200A circuit for added vintage warmth
- Pedal Noise – blend in mechanical realism for extra texture
More than just a Sound
Just like our flagship Rhodes V8 Plugin, the Rhodes Wurli features a full suite of high-quality effects. All time-based effects can be synced to your DAW, and every control is automatable and MIDI-assignable.
- 3-band EQ with sweepable mids
- Bucket-brigade chorus and delay

To bring out the full character of the 200A, Wurli also includes two speaker models, including a detailed emulation of the original front-panel speakers, plus a range of iconic mic and amp options, including the beloved DUO Valve Amp from the V8 Pro plugin.
