Pianology Black Friday pricing from Rhodes lands at $59.95, 60% off, until Nov 30, 2026, for a virtual instrument built around three pianos: a grand, an upright and an electric grand.
Rhodes says each instrument was prepared, voiced and sampled by its own engineering and sound-design team. The maker describes the set as three pianos most players rarely get near, the kind that have shaped recordings across genres and decades.
You get three instruments in one plugin:
The maker points the upright at contemporary scoring, jazz and understated songwriting. The grand covers everything from quiet solo passages to full-bodied playing. The electric grand is the direct, shimmering sound from '80s pop, rock and electronic records.
The layout is kept clean on purpose, so you spend your time playing rather than menu-diving. Every module is modelled on Rhodes' flagship processing engines.
Four global controls shape the response: Timbre Shift, Global Tune, Mechanical Noise and Lid Position. Lid Position works on the grand only.
Timbre Shift is the one the maker leans on. It can turn a bright grand dark, moody and ethereal, push the upright toward something metallic and cutting, or soften a strident electric grand into a mellow, warm tone.
A dedicated Amp and Mic section holds the classic Rhodes V8 Pro amplifier models and a choice of microphones. That spans natural acoustic depth through to amped, characterful tones.
The signal chain inside the plugin runs from a preamp through to the reverbs:
The Rhodes reverbs are split by instrument. Grand and upright get Stage, Arena, Room and Hall, with Stage and Arena new for Pianology. The electric grand gets Spring, Plate, Room and Hall.
Because the effects sit inside the instrument, you can dial in a finished piano tone before it reaches your mixer, which keeps your own buses free for the rest of the arrangement.
Rhodes says the workflow puts sound and expression first, whether you are composing, recording or performing.
Yes. The Pianology Black Friday deal takes 60% off the Rhodes virtual instrument, bringing it to $59.95 until Nov 30, 2026. It is a collection of three pianos: a grand, an upright and an electric grand.
Pianology has three instruments: a Japanese U-series upright, a classic American Model D grand, and a Japanese electric grand with real strings and pickups. The maker says its team prepared, voiced and sampled each one.
Timbre Shift reshapes the character of each piano. The maker says it can turn a bright grand dark and ethereal, make the upright metallic and cutting, or soften the electric grand into something warm and mellow.
The effects include a preamp, a 3-band EQ with sweepable mid, a piano-voiced compressor, chorus, phaser, DAW-syncable delay and a CP-style tremolo/panner. Reverbs are Stage, Arena, Room and Hall for grand and upright, and Spring, Plate, Room and Hall for the electric grand.
