Pink Floyd - On The Run【OP-X PRO-II】

"Using the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II virtual analog Oberheim VSTi plugin to play the famous Pink Floyd "On The Run" sequence from their legendary "Dark Side Of the Moon" album.

The used preset is "Floyd On The Run" which can be found in the famous bank which comes with the synth. To be able to fill in the notes step by step the arpeggiator preset has to be switched to "Record" which is a small 8-step sequencer.

After playing in the single note steps the sequencer playback can be started hands-free with the damper pedal by quickly depressing and releasing it again within less than half a second (time filter). The same action again stops the playback.

The original synth used for this sequence was an EMS VCS3 which also exists as a more handy case version with included foil keyboard called EMS Synthi A.

OP-X PRO-II is hosted in an Acer Aspire One 270-26Dkk netbook using Hermann Seib SaviHost as vst host and Asio4all drivers over the built in audio card which manages to process up to 10 voices including effects glich free. Because of the small screen the virtual keyboard of OP-X PRO-II doesn't fit the screen and so ony the operation panel of can bee seen which itself luckily fits.

The used MIDI keyboard was an E-MU Xboard 61 which is connected direcly over usb to the netbook which also powers the keyboard.

The patch also can be auditioned with the demo version of the synth:
