Pete Townshend

In Pete's studio, there is EMS DK1 visible. This keyboard is used with EMS VCS3.

"The only mixer in the 16-track market designed with the musician in mind — either you people at Soundtracs are musicians or you’ve talked to a lot of people. I’d recommend this mixer to anyone — and tell them that I paid full retail for the 16-8-16 I bought!"

“This is so quick and easy to use. You could record a demo under a bridge with a nice reverb. Or in a field. Or while busking in a train station. You can use this thing anywhere. If there is something on the Spire demo you love, you can export the key track or tracks and build it up from there in your proper studio if you happened to have one. Spire provides a click.

“I am in love with this thing.”

—Pete Townshend

Pete, on the organ sound for Won’t Get Fooled Again and Baba O’Riley: “I used gated Lowrey organ via EMS VCS3 gated filter. No sequencer. I got my ARP 2500 system (huge) just after I’d recorded the first few demos for Who’s Next. Baba O’Riley was a cheat. I couldn’t get the sequencers and mix-sequencers on the ARP under my fingers fast enough so I emulated sequencing and tape delays using the Marimba Arpeggiator effect on my Lowrey Berkshire.” https://www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/guitar/lowrey.html
