Sythesizers Used in The Dark Side of the Moon

hey

i'm doing a project based on this

any idea what synthesizers Pink Floyd used for this album?=)
(in particularly On the Run, Any Colour You Like)

They used a VCS3 synthesizer for DSOTM. If you have Live at Pompeii you can see a few clips of Roger fooling around with it.

this should help as well: http://www.pinkfloydfan.net/t403-pin...izer+dark+side

was just wondering if wright used the minimoog or VCS3 synth for the keyboard solo for any colour you like

any ideas?

synthesizers used in the making of Dark SIde of the Moon

VCS3
Minimoog (not sure abt this)
Hammong Organ
Wurlitzer Electric Piano
Fender Rhodes


do correct me if i'm wrong

thanks=)

Only the EMS VCS3 (and its companion Synthi-AKS sequencer, which is what Roger plays in "On the Run") was used on Dark Side; they didn't start using Minimoogs until Wish You Were Here.

ok

thanks dude!
got it

how abt the introduction of 'time'
the 'bell-like' sound

is it fender rhodes?

Yes, that's a Rhodes. There are also real bells on "Brain Damage" (doubling the guitar riff during the bridge).

The discussion about who plays the Synthi-AKS in "On the Run" is part of the neverending Gilmour vs. Waters debate. Gilmour says Roger came up with the sequence used in the song, but the actual performing was done by Gilmour, and the parts wich is filmed by Adrian Maben is Waters pretending doing the piece. Waters says the Maben was filming when the piece was made. I'm not going to make the call.

Whether the bit Roger is overdubbing in Pompeii is on the album is questionable, but he certainly did program the main part (which Gilmour did manipulate during recording).
