Pink Floyd - On The Run attempt on Alesis Ion synthesizer

Me playing a version of Pink Floyd's "On The Run". This one I did without the original track playing in the background. it's just one take, i didn't have time to add all the random talking and footstep noises and panning bass sounds and backwards guitar played with a mic stand etc etc... but maybe that'll happen at some point.

it could do with a bit more variation in the sequenced sound but i'll just have to keep experimenting with all the magical features of this synth.

btw for anyone who is interested it is fairly possible to use this synth's tracking generator as a crude step sequencer, hence this video - instructions can be found in the alesis ion/micron Yahoo group, message number 15215. I used a patch from 'uralmoto2001' (to whom i'm very grateful :)) which I found in the files section of the group, with a few edits, as the basis for this video.

Thanks guys for all the great comments! At some point in the future when I find the breakout cables for my sound card again I might try and record a new version with an attempt at the added sound effects.

@CharleyMcLemon haha - no I didn't mix it with anything! why are people so surprised that the ion can actually sound good?

anyone with an ion or micron should really be on the yahoo group: groups.yahoo.com/group/alesis-­ion

loads of patches plus i found the patch i used as the basis for this track on there (with a bit of tweaking, and adding the hi hat sound)
