What are these sounds?

[Teddie]

Hey HR buds,

I've been curious about a couple of keyboard sounds.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with these songs, but I'm interested to find out what the keyboard sounds are to these:

6th Avenue Heartache - WallFlowers

and then there's some funky keyboard sound in a Beaty Boys song that I can't for the life of me remember the name but one of them says "Watcha whatcha whatcha want (whatcha want) I say Watcha watcha whatcha want"... I dunno.

Does anyone know about these?

Thanks!,

I can't answer the wallflowers one but I can answer the beastie boys question.

If I'm not mistaken, its more than likely an old Korg BX3 organ, run through a rotory speaker. I'm pretty sure they used that organ throughout the "check your head" album

Automaton, thanks!

I wonder if I can run my keys through a roto-leslie effect or something... Lemme try stuff.
