The 200A Keyboard
The 200A became a studio favourite in the 1970s, loved for its compact size, sharp bite, and soulful dynamics. Heard on tracks by Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, and Elton John, its unmistakable sound carries a raw expressiveness that stands out in any mix. The Rhodes Wurli channels all this character, offering a virtual instrument that responds like the original with rich harmonic content and that distinct reed-driven voice. Whether you're looking for warm, smooth chords or driven, percussive lines, this plugin has the flexibility and feel to deliver.
Timeless Tone, Modern Performance
Rhodes Wurli faithfully reproduces the sonic signature of vintage reed-based electric pianos, while introducing key enhancements for today’s workflows. Timbre Shift lets you adjust the voice of the instrument in real time — from clean and mellow to distorted and punchy. Global Tune makes it easy to match your Wurli to any session. Alongside this, you get access to authentic pedal noise and a wide range of presets to jump straight into creating. It's a vintage sound with all the precision and control of modern software.
Familiar interface with improved flexibility
The interface is designed to keep you focused on the sound. Drawing inspiration from the original 200A front panel, it features tactile rotary dials, clear retro-style LED indicators and streamlined navigation. It’s powered by the same high-end engine found in Rhodes Anthology, giving you access to EQ shaping, amp simulation, and effect controls all in one place. Whether you're tweaking tone or browsing presets, the layout is simple and musical making it perfect for studio or live use.
Iconic Vintage Tone Vibrato & Speakers
The Rhodes Wurli features a stunningly authentic emulation of the original mono vibrato circuit - a popular part of the piano's identity. Meticulously modelled and full of analogue warmth, the vibrato breathes vintage soul into every note. And, for further realism, the Wuril drive circuit now models the natural saturation of the 200A's onboard amplifier.
In addition to the Duo amp model featured in the Rhodes Anthology, Rhodes Wurli introduces a new option: the original front-facing speakers. Known for their distinctive midrange presence and natural breakup, these speakers add an unmistakable character, bringing you closer to the sound and feel of a real 200A.
