Stage-73 V combines an unmatched physical modeling engine, an authentic pedal & amp rig, and advanced tonal customizations for unprecedented levels of soulful Rhodes realism.
Stage-73 V isn’t just a virtual reimagining of the instrument at the heart of Motown classics, hard-hitting funk in the ‘70s, platinum Y2K R&B, and today’s biggest dance anthems.
Using physical modeling to capture every detail of the original instrument’s behavior, and enhancing it with the modern production flexibility you need, this is simply the most authentic, versatile, and accessible electric piano plugin ever made.
Stage-73 V has been reverse-engineered and rebuilt from the ground up, component by component; simply the most detailed and authentic Rhodes emulation ever.
From the tender tines of Herbie Hancock classics to stadium-filling rock anthems, Stage-73 V provides the full sonic range of the electric piano; bark, bite, and beyond.
Stage-73 V lets you sound like the real thing without a hard-drive-filling sample library. Physical modeling means authentic behavior, authentic sound, minimal space.
Stage-73 V combines 7 modes of classic electric piano sound with a full rig of amps and pedals, providing all your EP needs for any style of music.
To capture that authentic Rhodes magic, we had to dive deep.
Stage-73 V2’s physical modeling sound engine offers an electric piano experience that’s so realistic, you’ll forget you’re playing a software instrument.
The Rhodes’ hammers struck metal tines of different lengths attached to a metal harp, essentially creating a huge polyphonic tuning fork responsible for the core trademark sound. Pickups like those in electric guitars transduced the vibrations and sent them to a preamp and tone-shaping circuits before finally going to an amp and speakers. In Stage-73 V, we’ve modeled the behavior of every single one of those components, output circuit and all, delivering completely faithful instruments that sound and play just like the ones that inspired them.
Stage-73 V isn’t just one instrument - it’s many.
It encapsulates a range of Rhodes piano models, from Stage to Suitcase, ‘73 or ‘74, Classic to Modern, putting a huge range of hearty sounds at your disposal - luscious vibrato and all.

High Tines (Treble boosted)
The Stage Piano had simple controls, one of which was Volume. The ’73 and earlier models had a Tone control that was a multi-band EQ, that cut and boosted the high and low frequencies simultaneously. In ’74, that changed to a Bass Boost control that only affected the low frequencies. Both characters are desirable in different circumstances, which is why we’ve modeled both vintages.
Rather than having a single tone control, the Suitcase Piano sported separate Treble and Bass sliders. It also had a Vibrato feature that was actually stereo tremolo. When set at high intensity, the effect was an early version of the more modern auto-panning effect. Of course, we’ve modeled all of the details that make a Suitcase a Suitcase.
Stage-73 V is designed as a tailor-made Rhodes toolkit.
With a newly-integrated pedal rig, you can add emulated stompboxes to your chain, from red-hot distortion to glorious tape echo. Assemble your own fully-customizable keyboard rig.
