  Yeah, it figures that "Baba O'Riley" was also played on the organ. 
  Funny; there's a quote from Pete Townshend on the back of the Arp2500 
  owners' manual where he says how suitable it is for stage work. Makes 
  me wonder how often they used it on stage. I had forgotten that 
  there's also an Ion preset called "Baba O'Riley". Very similar 
  to "Won't Get Fooled" in that an lfo square wave is used to mod VCA. 
  The key to this Ion patch though is that it uses key poly reset for 
  the lfo; I think the an1x only has key mono reset. May be another way 
  to get the same effect 
  though.                                                              -
