Hi. I have been trying to emulate the YC30 organ in the Steely Dan Track, 'Do It Again' on my Electro 6 without sucess. Frustratingly, I sold a Yamaha Reface organ a couple of months ago, which may have solved the problem. The organ on the track seems to have a sort of plastic quality to it with a touch of portmento. I don't believe that the electro is ever going to emulate the sound perfectly but I wondered if anyone had found a workaraound that was pretty close? Thanks in advance, Mark.

Hi Mark,
One of the keys to that sound is the pitchbend/glide. This would have been done using the YC-30's ribbon controller. And unfortunately the Electro doesn't have pitch bend.
Search for 'Electro pitch bend' on the forum and you'll find some ideas.
Good luck!

That's extremely interesting David, I had no idea the YC30 had a ribbon controller and will Google it to find out more. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

Maybe you can add a ribbon controller to the Electro.

It's a definite possibility. Thanks for bringing this product to my attention.
