Yeah, it figures that "Baba O'Riley" was also played on the organ.
Funny; there's a quote from Pete Townshend on the back of the Arp2500
owners' manual where he says how suitable it is for stage work. Makes
me wonder how often they used it on stage. I had forgotten that
there's also an Ion preset called "Baba O'Riley". Very similar
to "Won't Get Fooled" in that an lfo square wave is used to mod VCA.
The key to this Ion patch though is that it uses key poly reset for
the lfo; I think the an1x only has key mono reset. May be another way
to get the same effect
though. -
