Please consider replacing the toy piano voice on the Reface CP with the acoustic piano voice on the next Reface CP firmware update. A piano or even string voice would be far more useful than the toy piano. I've yet to find a way to make use of the toy voice.
I totally agree with this request. I only acquired the Reface CP when I learned that it contained this acoustic piano sound. Thank you Harley!
Yes please on the acoustic piano. Also: please boost the volume and velocity sensitivity of the Rhodes MkI. I can hardly hear a thing through the onboard speakers without pounding on the mini keys, especially on lower octaves with the panning tremolo on.

Get bigger speakers. Even cheap desktop computer speakers sound better than the Reface built-in ones.
But you will never regret investing some more money in a pair of active nearfield studio monitors.
If I were going to hook it up to speakers, I'd just go into my studio and play my 1978 Rhodes Mk I instead. The joy of the Reface is that I can sit with it on my lap anywhere.
The Drive knob helps a bit. With the Drive at 12 o'clock, it sounds great and has a great response at low velocities, but at hard "bite" velocities it breaks up way too much. It would be better if it stayed nice and clean like a good Fender Twin Reverb and have the distortion kick in only when the knob is turned most of the way up.
