RETRACTED TECHNIQUES
So if we were going to sample the keyboard of the Rhodes, what signal
should we record?
In addition to the line out of the instrument, we placed a microphone above
the tonebar to capture the acoustic sound of the Rhodes (as well as lots of
hammer noise), and we used a contact mic to capture a slightly different,
physical kind of signal from the instrument, rather than magnetic.
This gave us three mono channels simultaneously, the standard Line Out,
the Microphone, and the Contact Mic.
In truth, many Rhodes players used to mic the tonebars during recording
sessions since it added a physical aspect to the sound (and was probably
closer to what they heard themselves) than simply using the line out. They
probably didn’t get the mic quite as close to each tine as we did, but the Mic
signal definitely provides that acoustic “clunk” of the Rhodes if you need it.
