Hi Andy. Fantastic video of all the elements. What are the notes of the sequence please? Over the years and looking at different attempts on line, there seem to be several variations of the actual sequence.

[@AndyWhitmore]

I will post a video with the notes & the hi hat made on the synthi aks ring modulator

[@tonysharp1615]

@@AndyWhitmore Thank you Andy. Very much appreciated.👍🏻👍🏻

Pretty sure it was Roger Waters who came up with the On The Run sequence, not Richard Wright. As another person mentioned the real clever part of that patch is the use of the ring modulator along side the main sequence to produce the sync'd rhythmic sound. Syncing up separate takes wouldn't have been easy at the time. To get the rhythmic sound you run white noise into one input of the ringmod and the CV of the sequencer into the other. This makes the Ring Mod function as a VCA and the note CV functions as an envelope.

Yes - i will do a part 2 video including the Hi Hat - Also - you are right - David Gilmour did a riff on the Synthi AKS & then Roger Waters improved the idea with a better riff which was ultimetly used

[@ofc4517]

I just read about the making of on the run. David Gilmore originally came up with the general idea and sequence and when Roger heard it, he really put the frosting on the cake. At that time period with the evolution of Floyd, Richard didn't really create on the synths per say. After dark side, he integrated them into his set-up.

[@AndyWhitmore]

@@ofc4517 I agree - I saw a documentry which pretty much mirrored your explanation

[@Peter_S_]

It's brilliant Andy, these sounds are so amazing and it's great to hear them in isolation. Great stuff!!!!!!!

Hi Andy, really like your videos. There is only one last particular missing if I’ve seen/listen right, noise in ring mod triggered by the sequence will also produce the infamous hi hat sound.

[@AndyWhitmore]

I knew the aks synthi was used for the hi hat but never knew how they did it - I will include this in an update! Thanks for the info!

[@andeeearth]

@@AndyWhitmoreyes it was an actual genius patch, it was also hardly used by Tim Blake in his Crystal Machine’s compositions

[@AndyWhitmore]

@@andeeearth can you send me the patch settings so I can set up?

Andy. I've noticed you've dropped linking the audio from your videos from your dropbox account. Any reason? I noticed you took them off all the videos that used to have them as well. Such a shame.

[@AndyWhitmore]

A complete over sight - I will go back & put them on - give me a week!!
