As the song name, there is only one instrument playing solo for most of the song, an Organ with a strong feeling, and this coarse texture creates an unrestrained atmosphere.

We used Arturia's B-3 and Vintage Organ to create this Sound here. (Check Organ's principle in Nikes part)

First of all, we need a warm sound, so only adjust the Upper row of the left four Drawbar, because the right four Drawbar tone on the sharp side, so you can push all to 0, I adjusted the result is 2375, on the warm side and not dark.




Then come to FX. Add a Rotary Speaker and select a Room, to give the sound a sense of space and presence.

Then add a little bit of almost imperceptible chorus to give it more texture.

To create more realism, increase the key click and some subtle noise, which can be achieved in Mix, by adding a little background Noise and Key Click.



In the Organ Model choose 1968 C-3, compared with other this will sound brighter, and then the following two Leakage, add a little to make the tone have more realistic feeling



And I used Pro-Q to do a low cut and cut out some of the muddy sound at around 500

I didn't spend too much time here at Vintage Oragan,just choosing a bright-sounding preset, Then pull down all pedal bass to make sound as a complement to the B-3 organ., and add a little Drive to match the B-3 Organ


The second main sound is the Lead after 1:56 seconds. This is a relatively simple and typical Lead, I made here using the mini V3.

On the first Oscillator choose the Saw-Triangular for a cleaner sounds. Twisting The Cutoff twist to about 500hz to filter out unwanted high frequencies. The Glide to the 6, to make the sound head has a sliding effect




Pro-Q large low cut and small high cut to remove unwanted frequencies, add a tube preamp radiator to add some heat to the sound of this, then use Doubler4 and INTENSITY to shape the sense of space and make it sound distant

This simple Sound is complete, but you can continue to fine-adjust the envelope to make it sound more natural.
