Organ Lead for Smokin' by Boston

Hi Everyone,
Have any of you had any success finding the organ sounds for "Smokin'" by Boston on the NS3? I feel like the first part of the lead is 3 draw bars out with rotor on slow, then about midway through the first part, the rotor speeds up. I have the harpsichord part pretty well dialed in. Then the big part (after the harpsichord) is where I'm kind of getting stumped. Very full but brighter sounding.
I'm using Song Parts to switch from sound to sound.
Thanks as always for your comments and suggestions,
Cheers!

Try this attached program (which I think I got part or all of from here a few years ago). I probably tweaked it for the bass part and pedals. Uses Mod Wheel and Control Pedal to get different sounds you're mentioning. Has the Harpsichord in it as well.

Regard,

Hi Keybard
Thanks so much! This sounds great! I don’t currently have a control pedal. I was thinking of getting a Yamaha YC7. What control pedal are you using?
Thanks again!

I use the Yamaha FC7. Here's a good video about it: (and it's a great channel to subscribe to for nord players).
