Hello!
New Bitwig user here. I’m wondering if anyone out there would know how to achieve the “Marimba Repeat” feature that Townshend used to lay down the Lowrey Organ part(s) on Baba O’Riley. I found this explanation from an old issue of Keyboard Magazine:
“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.”
Over the years I’ve tried plunking out the organ part on a piano roll. I think I’m pretty spot on for the intro, but then kind of lose the thread as the track goes on and the rest of the band kicks in. I imagine this is relatively easy to do in Bitwig. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
