What keys are these?

[streetstruck]

For the life of me I can't remember the name of this type of piano/EP/Organ/Wurz/Rhodes what is this, you hear it a lot in Houston Texas rap.



Thanks guys.

you've got both an organ and an electric piano playing at different points in that opening segment

Hahah for a minute I thought you meant, what key was the song (to which I'd reply E Major)

[streetstruck]

What's the one at :12



I know it's an organ but what kind of organ?

I use Lounge Lizard if that helps anyone.

sounds like a mid '70's Farfisa to me

The key problem with identifying an organ is that there is just as much art and science that goes into programming good sounds as there is with synths. the difference is that with electronic organs and pipe organs you are involved in creating sounds using the overtone series.

Ever wondered what the numbers with ' after them meant in the interface??

That is the pitch length of the fundamental note(s) being played.

On any organ you will likely find

Pipe length	Base Octave
1'	C6-B6
1-1/3'	G5-F#6
1-3/5'	E5-D#6
2'	C5-B5
2-2/3'	G4-F#5
4'	C4-B4
5-1/3'	G3-F#4
8'	C3-B3
16'	C2-B2
32'	C1-B1

You mix the pitches using the overtone series to create interesting sounds. You can then use FX to further modify the sound mostly in terms of modulation and delay but also with distortion.

usual caveats about fl apply - C₃ in any other daw is C₅ in FL; i.e. add 2 the subscript number and you will have the right octave.

Really appreciate the info. That makes sense!

Sounds like you want an organ sound with a little bit of distortion on it and definitely with a rotator effect set to fast, a little reverb and maybe a delay + possibly some tremolo. Then just play a real quick jab of it on keys.
