Here is a free set of Rhodes EPs that I think finally sounds like you are playing the real thing. None of the settings on the Pa3x (I'm not sure about the Pa4x/1000/700) come close to sounding like the original Rhodes even though the samples are available in factory ROM. They just seem to have been accessed rather poorly in the final offerings.
The set has 16 different sounds including clean, fast and slow tremolo, tempo synced tremolo, bright etc.
This set does not use any RAM memory at all (Zero!) but accesses factory samples only. The sounds are very detailed with key on/off noises and that nice "bark" you get when playing hard.
Most of the sounds are the original Rhodes sounds but I've included some brighter bell sounds (it was fashionable in the 70s/80s to take the felt off the hammers to achieve this sound).
Tremolo Depth and Distortion are fully controllable while playing or storing in STS (Mixer/Tuning, FX Send, Master 2 & 3) and Tempo will adjust Tremolo Speed for presets with the word Tempo in the sound name if playing or automatically adjust to Style/Midi Tempo.
Demo here with some fiddling with some presets and ends with a midi file accessing this Rhodes set.

[Edit: Version 1.2 (December 21, 2019) out now - Bell Rhodes Sounds are now more more natural and respond better to velocity]
Download Here: (two versions - the first one loads to User 1 Sounds)

To load to User 3 Sounds use this one:

The set is compatible for the Pa4x/3x/1000/700/900/600/3xLE.
I have fiddled with the Rhodes sounds in the past but this set is far better.
I hope you enjoy.

What about the PA300? Will they work?

It might work in the Pa300 because it only uses factory sounds - no samples.
