Good stuff! You got the notes, and they are correct - just fix the timing...timing is off. When you go to the lick where you run up the scale, you're going longer than the bar length. Listen to the intro carefully and you'll see what I mean. If you need slow it down and work it, you're close enough. And adding a slap-back delay will definitely give it more feel like the record. I've done this on guitar so I know what i'm talking about. :)
I can play that and Won't get fooled again, But if u play, what u played, with the tremello set just right, you only have to hit each note once.you'll have it then.. if you like the Who? you might like Me, check out; Jambox/headgames
A very good attempt, manually played. The thing is that Pete Townshend had a Lowrey Berkshire organ which had a sort of auto-arpeggio function called "marimba repeat" which semi-automated the complicated triplets in the intro. I thought it was a synth + sequencer for so many years.
good job.....i agree with all the get a new camera stuff and also the get a smidgeon lowers but beyond that great work musta taken a long time to learn all that
Only on "Won't Get Fooled Again" did Pete run his Lowrey thru his EMS VCS3.
The first bit of processing to be applied to the organ sound is a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) controlling the frequency of a voltage-controlled filter (VCF), using a sine or triangle wave shape. In other words, the synth is turning the tone of the organ from mellow to bright, up and down automatically.
Step 2 has the output of Step 1 being fed into a voltage-controlled amplifier triggered by a square wave LFO. This means the VCS3 is turning the volume of the organ on and off in a repeating fashion.
In addition, a setting called Wow-Wow is used, much like a guitarist's wah-wah pedal. It's not that obvious in the Who's Next version as it's only being used as a tone control; but in Pete's orginal demo, the effect is used in the regular way.
It's often been reported that Pete recorded the part at half speed, making playback sound fast and frantic (Terry Riley often did this), and again sounds possible but it is performed in realtime. If you get the chance to try one of these organs, hit that marimba repeat tab and you will quickly realise how it inspired Pete to come up with this fabulous keyboard part.
You are correct, Pete played the original at a much slower speed that what finally ended up on Whos next. Its obvious that the final recording was sped up. If you listen to the track its a semi tone out of key as a result of speeding up the final mix
He actually used a very common Lowry home organ.....I know cause I owned one.....found it for free on Craigslist.....exact same model and all....It had a Symba mode that made that fast pace tech sound and it was actually only hitting a couple keys.....I can't find a live copy of Baba O'Reily where they aren't using a piped in version (never a keyboardist). But very great job trying to replicate.....much more sophisticated than the original recording!
for anyone wishing to recreate Baba O'Riley, just pick one up the following models to do the same job: TLO, DSO, TLS, TSO 25 and HR and GAK (seems to be the nearest). Pete is using a setting called "marimba repeat."
This is different from a normal repeat effect in that certain notes are repeated either on or off the beat creating a much more complicated repeat pattern. For example the following group of notes sound ON the beat when these keys are held F-G, B-C#, and these other notes G#- A#, D-E repeat off the beat creating the alternating pattern heard on Baba O'Riley.
He actually did originally play it on a synthesizer. He just had the rhythmic patterns going on their own so all he had to do was press down the keys to get that effect. So you guys are both right. You're just not understanding eachother. Either that, or you guys just enjoy bitching back and forth. lol
