Which synth was used in 'Shine on you crazy diamond' ?

I'd like to see a virtual Putney too, or some VCS anyhow. Just imagine it: You could use it as a synth, or you can play Mastermind on the left side and Flight Simulator on the right! ;-)

Really, I doubt a VCS VST would be commercially viable... but it would be kinda fun for us retro types.

VOLTAGE CONTROLLED STUDIO MODEL 3 SYNTHESIZER (A) KEYBOARD SEQUENCER (EMS) VCS3 SYNTHI - AKS (1972 - present)- A later "suitcase" version of the VCS3 with attaching sequencer and keyboard. Used to create "On The Run", "Welcome To The Machine" and "Shine On Pt. 1", etc. The Floyd carried the Synthi in their '94 World Tour.

MINIMOOG (1973 - 1981) - Basically it's the "trumpet" sound in "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Known as the world's most popular analog syntheziser. Wright used the MiniMoog for many years mainly as a lead instrument. (FloydWaters note: I can't be sure, but it sounds as if this instrument appears after 1981...it sounds like this is the "trumpet" sound in "Wearing the Inside Out". Also, according to Terrence, this was also used on the DSotM tour.)

ARRRHHHHRRRRGGGG!! c**ts, all of ye!

I'll distract myself from thinking of lancing Lemmy's mole into a martini glass by trying to focus on the pretty VCS3

Here is a VCS Sound .RM
You just gotta love the sound of this thing, especially on Dark Side of the Moon. Just trippy as hell
