I found a patch totally by accident last night that evokes a Fender Rhodes quite strongly. I liked it so much that I'm still playing with it 24 hours later. Here it is for anyone that wants to try it:

Module resources: 2 300, 2 420, 2 110, 2 800.

300-1 gives the basic pitch of the patch, and 300-2 provides the high frequency buzz of the tines by FM on 420-1.

You can simplify the patch by removing 420-2 and 110-2. 110-2 envelopes the filter FM, but you can also just have it at a constant level. 420-2's effect on the sound is subtle, and you won't lose much without it.

300-1 saw out into 420-1 In1. 420-1 out into 420-2 In1. 420-2 Out into 110-1 In. 110-1 Out to audio. 300-2 saw out into 110-2 In. 110-2 Out to 420-1 FM1. 800-1 Out+ to 420-2 FM2. 800-1 Out+ to 110-2 CV. 800-2 Out+ to 110-1 CV. Kbd CV to 300-1 1V/Oct. Kbd CV to 420-1 1V/Oct. No Kbd CV to 300-2 or 420-2. Kbd Gate to 800-1 and 800-2 Gate In.

Set 300-1 pitch to normal 8'. Set 300-2 pitch to 7.25 on the dial. 420-1 mode LP, freq 4.5, res 8 (my filters oscillate at 9, not 8 - adjust if necessary), In1 6, FM1 2.5. 420-2 mode HP, freq 4, res 7, In1 7, FM2 1.5. 800-1 ADSR 0 3 0 0. 800-2 0 6.5 0 0. Both 110s CV amt full, initial gain 0.

Play with 420-1 FM1 amount to set the level of the tine sound. If you eliminate the FM VCA, the FM1 level will probably be set much lower. I hope some of you can get good results on this one!
