Hi

Im pretty sure this is my 1st post in this group :)

Anyway Im trying to do the organ from The Who's "Wont get fooled again" Im sure it needs no introduction.


I nearly had it nailed last week by accident but forgot to store it, since then Ive been trying to edit the init organ sound and playing around with the VCA amod setting.

I still doesnt sound right, does anyone have any ideas ?

Cheers

If I were to build this from scratch first thing to take in mind is the
arpeggiation. Listen to the initial 2 measures and you can hear what the
basic arpeggiator is doing… root, root, fifth, fifth, octave, octave, fifth,
fifth, root, root.

So that’s the basic pattern going on.



But there’s also the automatic trill whenever adjacent keys are played.



This riff is in no way a simple pattern being repeated. Townsend has scored
the whole thing out and it’s a pretty complex piece of work which utilizes
the Lowery organ’s auto-accompany function in ways that Lowery’s inventors
probably never thought of.
