It is a joy to play - especially as a MIDI-connected instrument! ### 5/5 — Rhodes fans rejoice! *2025-10-26, version 1.2* There isn’t a bad sound to be found on this instrument. It sounds, and feels, like the real deal. ### 3/5 — Timbre disappointment *2025-09-13* I really love Audio Kit synth apps and was hunting for a decent Rhodes. This one is not for me for the following reason. The basic soft tone is decent enough but the transition to the characteristic gritty bark sound is really abrupt! Seems like a new sample is triggered above a certain velocity. This means it feels like there are just two velocity layers, and when playing harder it is hard to control which timbre plays. Back to Neo Soul keys for me. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-06-26* Thank you to everyone who was involved creating this simple but amazing app ### 5/5 — Musical not gimmicky *2025-06-19, version 1.2* These are some great sounds. Wonderful to record with and jam around on. ### 4/5 — keyboard review *2025-05-11, version 1.2* this keyboard is such a delight ### 5/5 — Quality *2025-03-29* Great sounds, just wish there was more. Of course you can make tons of your own. ### 5/5 — My go-to ~ use it everyday *2025-03-17* This is my go to synth/sounds. The first one I load when creating a track or noodling around. I use this virtually every day. ### 1/5 — Not available on iPad iOS 18 *2025-02-21, version 1.2* I cant select this as an instrument in Logic on my iPad despite it saying it has AUV3 support. ### 5/5 — For me good mellow smooth sound *2025-01-18, version 1.2* Not many presets but low price still makes it good value purchase ## Frequently asked questions about HOUSE ### What is HOUSE: Mark I?
