Joe, this is by far, the best tutorial for re-creating this classic synthesizer sound. Thank you for posting so that we can learn to play it too.

Pete made great use of the Lowry organ. The intro to Baba O’Reilly was also done with a Lowry. The Beatles also used one on the intro to Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.

Dude! I wish you would have put this video out 6 years ago, when I did this myself also. You would have saved me a ton of time! There are a lot of videos on KZread of this being done wrong. Your video is Great! I used very much the same signal chain that you are using, but I did it all in Logic. I used the electronic organ, and then I ran that sound through the Square wave at 135bpm, then I applied a sweeping filter at the end. It is important for people to understand that this is not an arpeggiation. The part is played live, in sync with the square wave pulse.

Great tips. I'm trying to get close on guitar with any combination I can of the following pedals - EHX C9 Organ Generator, Eventide Tricerachorus, TC Electronic Helix Phaser and the Tremelo of a Keeley Hydra. Needs work but this helps a lot.

@JoeKnecht3

4 ай бұрын

That's awesome! I've had to play that part on guitar before. Although i didn't use a tremolo pedal, i just pucked it, haha! It was a last-minute encore lol

@shambapoo

4 ай бұрын

I've realised my EHX Attack Delay pedal has a square wave Tremelo effect (the Hydra only has Sine or Harmonic) which is in front of the organ pedal. Plucking may still get a more consistent result although it is tiring on the hands if played for the whole song. Good fun experimenting though.

@JoeKnecht3

4 ай бұрын

@shambapoo yeah man it's fun nessing around with effects like this! Try putting the tremolo pedal after the organ pedal. That might help get you a more pronounced effect. If you set the depth of the sine wave to the max. It'll sound close, just rounded off.

vielen Dank🤟

No, you've got it wrong. Townshend is also using a Sample and Hold Gate coupled with the Filter Sweep. You are confusing what he did for Baba O'Riley. You've got way too much distortion and a Tonewheel will work just fine.

@JoeKnecht3

22 күн бұрын

Actually, what you are thinking of is the "Marimba Repeat" function on the organ. It was independent per keyboard. Which is how Pete gets those triplets. The part i messed up on. Was i said the organ was doing the square wave tremolo. I thought the Marimba Repeat function was universal. So, the synth is doing the square wave modulation and filter sweeps. There is no sample and hold. And yeah, i could tone the overdrive back a little. That was as low as i could get it with that keyboard. Also, i have never heard anyone het close usong a tonewheel organ. I would love to see examples of people getting close with a tonewheel organ

I have a Lowrey TBO, and one of these days I'll dive into emulating its "marimba repeat" function that Townshend used on Baba O'Riley. What would be a good starting point? Reaktor? A programmable arpeggiator?

@JoeKnecht3

7 ай бұрын

That's really cool you have an original TBO! The Reaktor would be a great place to start, you could probably use the built in modulation to get the repeat emulation. Set the LFO to a square wave and make sure you send the signal to the amp (I forgot to mention that in the video) make sure the depth is maxed out and you want it synced to 16th notes around 117 BPM. Although you can do that with an arpeggiator too, that would also let you program the actual note instead of playing it. It is also worth noting I have gotten close (for live situations) to Pete's sounds using a VOX emulation on a Nord Stage 2 for example. So don't be afraid to try other organ emulations that are not a B3 clone. There don't seem to be any Lowrey plug ins, which is a shame lol. I hope this helps!

@elazmohiftenfifter4340

@@JoeKnecht3 Yes, the trick, IIRC, is that the marimba repeat function will alternate between held notes in a particular way, with amplitude envelope triggering on each note like a polyphonic ARP Odyssey. Note triggering is separate between manuals, yet the repeats are synced. I'll chime in after I investigate it a little more.

@JoeKnecht3

7 ай бұрын

Oh that's interesting. I went with the assumption that the marimba repeat was global, not split between the manuals like that. Learn something new everyday haha! If you are using an LFO with a square wave to get the Marimba repeat sound. You could set it so it retriggers independently per key. If that dose not work make to versions of the preset and split your keyboard with plug ins you might need a DAW. Do you have a DAW preference? I'll keep looking into emulating that quark. @@elazmohiftenfifter4340

Loved your video! Question: How do I get all Partials 1-4 highlighed yellow in the ON position when making changes to LFO1 settings etc? I can only highlight one Partial at a time in the ON position. Thanks!

@JoeKnecht3

4 ай бұрын

You are welcome! Hold down the shift button when selecting what partials you want to edit/control. That will let you highlight multiple partials to control them at once. Took me a minute to figure out myself when I first got the keyboard haha.

I got another question Joe... After selecting Filter Depth in the LFO Dest tab, I go to LFO1 tab and when I select the LFO Type (SIN, TRI, S&H) nothing changes in the sound like in your video. What am I missing? Thanks!

@JoeKnecht3

4 ай бұрын

@newportgeorge Make sure you adjust the cutoff. If your filter is all the way open (the cutoff knob is all the way up) then you won't hear any modulation. You can dial in the filter modulation sound by tweaking the cutoff and resonance.

@newportgeorge

Joe, Even when I turn the Cutoff dial up or down along with Resonance up or down nothing changes much. I doesn't change at all even when scroll through the LFO Types What position (Time 12 O'clock, 3 O'clock, etc) are your Cutoff Dial and resonance dial set to? Thank you!
