Subject: cheesy organ sounds

From: jim.alciere@...

I read an article (in Sound on Sound I believe,) stating most of the old Pink Floyd keyboard sounds were basically a combo organ, a really nice tape delay (a binson echorec) and then a leslie cabinet,I saw a binson echorec on Ebay going for $3,000.00. A bit out of my price range. Still there are lots of free VST plugin tape delays and some nice free VST leslie simulators (I like Mr Donald). So I've been experimenting. You can get a truckload of very nice 80s organ tunes with the AN1X, even using crazy things like fm and osc sync.


Yes the AN1X has delays and a leslie effect, but to get the Pink Floyd sound, you need the delay first in the signal chain.
