Suppose I hand you $2000 cash. Would you rather buy a near-mint 1978 Rhodes mark 1 suitcase, or a copy of Keyescape? Asking for a friend. Who is almost certainly not suffering from an acute case of gear acquisition syndrome.

Well…
Both!
(From somebody that has both)
Keyscape is great for all keyboards and I find the whacky stuff I’ll never own to be really useful in creating layers. If you’ve got a really good feeling controller it makes it even better.
My Rhodes is currently undergoing a full restoration at Vintage Vibe, and I can’t wait to get it back. Honestly, the feel is cooler, the sound is cooler, it’s more fun to throw it into an amp and a di and pan them separately for effect, my list goes on and on.
As an aside, If you don’t want to deal with the expense and knowledge needed to get and keep the piano in tip top shape, skip it and just use Keyscape.

Near mint Rhodes for $2000? That a steal. Grab it, and if u don’t like it you can sell it in a year for twice that.

$2K for a Rhodes (verified excellent condition)sounds great. But Keyscape isn't the only plug: Velvet, Orange Tree, etc
