Intro

LowreyOrgan

Electric organ invented by Frederick Lowrey. It was the most popular organ in the world during the 1960s and 1970s. It is primarily differentiated from its precursor, the Hammond organ, by its 'automatic accompaniment' features, such as the preset drum patterns which can be heard on Timmy Thomas's 'Why Can't We Live Together', and subsequently on Drake's 'Hotline Bling', which samples that song. Like the Hammond, the Lowrey is an electric organ with two hand-played keyboards and a foot-controlled bass keyboard. Lowreys have drawbars which can be pushed and pulled in and out to additively synthesize a variety of timbres.
