EDIT January 2023
**The best of the Rhodes are now included in the Yamaha C5 Piano set**
*See further down this post*
I've made some changes to the factory Electric Pianos to get something like a Fender Rhodes piano set.
There are 32 EPs in this set (4 pages). There is no extra PCM required at all, it makes use of factory samples so no Ram usage. This set was made on the Pa3x but it should be compatible for 4x/3x/3xle/700/1000. (It has been reported to work also on Pa 900).
Features include 32 all new Electric Pianos including some versions of the Fender Rhodes and the Vintage EPs that automatically sync their Tremolo Effects to both Style and Midi Tempo.
If you select one of the Tempo Synced EPs playing a midi file or Style will match the tremolo to the song tempo. You also have options to double or 1/2 the tremolo frequency.
If you are just playing sounds without backing and you choose one of the EPs marked * you can adjust all three parameters as you play just like a real Fender Rhodes. See Photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j3OpJjkY5uQ-xDofiSDscyAtqcd4dT2x/view?usp=sharing
1. Tremolo Depth (adjust with FX Master 2).
(Menu, Mixer Tuning, FX Send Tab, adjust Upper 1 Master 2)
2. Overdrive Amount (FX Master 3)
3. Tremolo Tempo (adjust with Tempo Buttons (holding down + or - then turn dial for quick adjustments).
If you are playing with a Style or Midi you can still of course adjust Tremolo Depth and Overdrive Amount. Don't worry about making changes as they are only temporary - going back into the sound will re-set it. You can if you wish store your favourite adjustments as STS's in Songbook so the exact setting is there to suit your song.

Hi John,
Just downloaded and installed your EP's in my PA4X.
Compliments, they sound absolutely great!
Keep up the good work! _________________ Musical grtz, Frans

You don't have to load the Yamaha pianos if you don't want them. Just drill down into the set and choose the Rhodes and other EPs contained in the set.
The "How to Install" section in the first post of this link explains how to do this.
So choose these from the set:
Rhodes Clean
Rhodes Slow
Rhodes Med
Rhodes Fast
Rhodes Tempo Trem (use tempo wheel to change trem speed on this one)
Dyno EP
Vintage EP
Dist Amp EP
Wurly Combo
If you choose just these there are no extra samples loaded at all, so zero Ram use. They are just modifications of the internal sounds. (the original sounds will not be affected).
