This video captures DJ Thomas White's recreation of the Pink Floyd classic "On The Run" using a Dave Smith Instruments' Tetra synthesizer.
The Tetra can be programed to make 4 individual sounds at once. Here's how the 4 voices are used 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 sound with modwheel pitch bend
Voice 4: "Analog Squishiness"
The video is interesting not because of the accuracy of White's cover, but because of the way it demonstrates how careful programming can let you get a lot of music out of a relatively cheap, but powerful, synth.
