Dave Smith Instruments Tetra Pink Floyd's "On The Run"


YouTube via djthomaswhite
"Here is a sample of how the Dave Smith Instruments Tetra Synthesizer can be programmed by the user to make 4 individual sounds at once (multitimbral) and easily using the free interface software via a simple USB cable. 4 voices are presented here:

Voice 1: Classic Pink Floyd arpeggiattor pattern (E3, G3, A3, G3, D4, C4, D4, E4)
Voice 2: Hi Hats pattern (should be 16 beats, can only do 8 with Tetra)
Voice 3: Doppler Effect Space Ship with modwheel pitch bend
Voice 4: Analog Squishiness (could've done this better, but it was 98 degrees in the studio today)

All voices come together to provide a nice simulation of a classic song that has inspired many since 1973 to get into synthesizers. Not bad for one analog synth. Now go try that on your Prophet 5 (just kidding... seriously, it was a joke). The Prophet 5 is the b e s t s y n t h . . . E V E R (also JK on this one).

Thanks for stopping by and checking out another one of my videos. More to come and, as always, check out www.naturalrhythmmusic.com for more about me and my music."

    Talking smack on the Prophet-5? It IS the best synth ever, and I bet I could do a kickin'version of On The Run (granted, I'd have to multi-track).

    Nice work with the Tetra :>)
