We've got one big holiday by my morning jacket in our set list and I am trying to recreate the sound played by the keys in their performance on letterman.

It sounds like an airy sort of electric organ sound where there is a delay. I've tried messing with the drawbars and all the presets to no avail so maybe I need to consider the synth section. Anyone have any tips? You can hear the sound I am after at 4:05 here:

Many thanks!

Being dominated by the guitars I think you can play anything, to me it sounds like a synth/string patch.

I'd layer a bright organ sound with a synth string sound, with some phasing or flanging on the strings.

Try a drawbar setting like 8484446325 with some overdrive and maybe use the C3 chorus. Layer with the phased strings and balance them to taste. It's like a wall of sound backing pad and isn't really distinguishable as a unique keyboard sound. Just providing a backdrop, so you can also experiment and do what you want with it.

I have no advice. Just jumping in to say, it sounds really nice at your entrance at 1:32! And ... you made it on Letterman!

Thanks y'all!
