Geoff from geoffmobile.com demonstrates a patch he created for his Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer that emulates a classic “Wurlitzer” keyboard sound.

The Wurlitzer or “Wurlie” sound I find is very useful when trying to blend smoothly with other instruments such as guitar, saxophone, or voice. It is more classic and acoustic sounding than some other more electronic-sounding leads. It is modelled after the classic Wurlitzer keyboard sold in the 1950’s to 1980s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wurlitzer_electric_piano
