On The Run (Pink Floyd) - Tutorial [1 of 2]

This tutorial combines a look at some of the basics of using the DSI Mono Evolver and how to create the famous 'On The Run' sequence from Pink Floyd's 1973 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album.

You will not need a DSI Evolver to follow along though. Any synthesiser will suffice.

Thanks,nickeax. I was just working on this tonight ,with an E-MU Xtreme Lead.I found your video & it will be very helpful.I had a good start.The square wave & I was controlling the filter & resonance off of knobs.The 'wah wah' part was what I was missing.I used some slower attach there,but still didn't have it patched correctly.

Thanks for the video !

Thank you for explaining this in such great detail. I will try to do each sound on the MOPHO. I saw someone do the sounds on the tetra however he would not explain how he did it. You are truly a good sport to let us in on the secrets of Pink Floyd sound generation.

You are awesome!!!!

Respond to this video...

Audiomidi has a VERY nice emu of the VCS3 going for $20. It an LE version but is just their v.1.04 from june last year. They're on v.1.1 now so they've reduced it big time.

Essential purchase mate, no dongle needed either. Cheers.

magic, you need to set the sequencer one destination (Seq 1 Dest) to Oscillator 1 Frequency (01F). It's in the bottom left corner. On the evolver, the sequencer can modify many settings besides just pitch. This setting tells the sequencer to modify note values. Hope this helps.

This sequencer is similar to very early sequencers in its operation. Basically, there are 16 possible steps for each 'Seq'.

...Somehow, in one program I recorded some notes, but after that, all parts has played same notes, and when I tried to record on seq 3 [for example, when i push just one singular key it is playing one by one the notes that I previously recorded on seq 1... what am I doing wrong, please somebody help me... And I didn't understood how to program from Evolver itself the sequencers... thx
