@rebeccaschade3987 11 месяцев назад

The CS-80 just sounds SOOOO lush and magical. It really is the greatest synth of all times. There are other synths that are amazing, but the way the CS-80 used the polyphonic aftertouch to control the filter, gave it such an amazing expressiveness. True greatness. Of course, the performer also makes a big difference, as Vangelis truly could make this instrument sing like the voice of an angel. And I'm not even religious 🤣

Vangelis was out of this world…I feel very humble

@andyturner3056 10 месяцев назад

An absolutely beautiful instrument, and one of the rarest. Vangelis always poured emotion into his music, and as soon as you hear the model CS80, the only name that comes up is Vangelis. Bladerunner became my favourite movie because of the atmosphere. The soundtrack, along with the visuals and brilliant acting make it untouchable.

@hubertvancalenbergh9022 Год назад

Vangelis was a true master. His synths always sound organic. His albums Spiral and Albedo 0.39 haven't dated in the slightest.

Brass 1&2, resonance zero, and most important general filter to minimum, then modulation with aftertouch . And Lexicon 224 reverb.

Really enjoyed this, thanks for taking the time to put it together. It's incredible how different the real CS80 sounds compared to the many VST emulations. I have both the ME80 and CS80V, both of which are great sounding synths but they don't quite hit the spot compared to the real thing. Cheers!

@aquamarine99911 6 месяцев назад

How about the AN1x virtual analog synth? I bought a used one eight years ago for around $250. I call it my "Blade Runner machine. Thank god I bought it then, because now the prices are well over a grand. It actually has a preset called "Vangelis", but that patch doesn't sound anything like these sounds. But it sounds pretty damn good.

A great composer, sadly missed, and a beautiful instrument. Personally my greatest moment of "wow, I never knew that was a CS80" was when I found out they used one for the opening sound effect on the new Doctor Who theme in the 1980s (it was the ring modulator).

yep, amongst the most iconic uses of the instrument: Ringmod voor Dr. Who - but also the bassline was played on the CS

Great video. Always nice to see great composers also using presents, it just shows that a lot of the times it's the inspiration to how to use them, what to combine them with, that is the most important in creating a great song. One pointer though, it's pronounced "vang-GHEL-iss", I would really hoped for people, especially musicians, would put a bit of effort in making sure they know how the names of the artists they admire are pronounced. It just shows good musical culture. All the best!

Spiral is my joint favourite Vangelis album along with Albedo 0.39 depending on my mood. It's a pity he didn't do more albums like Albedo. My favourite track though is Dervish D - I love playing it on sax or my Roland AE-30 wind synth.

Glad we could see a rerun of Blade Runner together back in 2019. Just one year before he passed. Man that soundtrack needs to be heard in a Dolby theater.

@josesvintagekeys Год назад

Nice story.BTW: guitarplayers are great!

@toneranger Год назад

@@josesvintagekeys haha, I heard Jon Anderson tell a story that Vangelis had jammed with the YES guys potentially to join the band perhaps, and he proceeded to tell Steve Howe that the guitar wasn't a real instrument 😂 no wonder he did most of his work solo 😅 Guitar is only heard on a few of his tracks like Petite Fille de la Mer. Nicely played in the video. Did he play all the tracks live in that era do you know? As in, he didn't overdub and everything was recorded as 1 take or a mix of takes but he played all the instruments live ? There's a great recent documentary about him on YT with the Director of Chariots of Fire in the studio where he has around 17 foot pedals to blend the sounds live, it's crazy though he's playing his more recent symphonic stuff which I personally wasn't a fan of but incredible to watch. More Vangelis please you do it so well. I spotted the CS80 in the Barbie video for "I'm Just Ken" along with flash and EVHs son, I swear it had to be the video Director paying homage 🌈 RIP Vangelis

@nicoskoumaradios8553 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video... from what we know, back then in the Nemo years, Vangelis music produced by multiple overdubs, even for the simplest lines. So, in my opinion, the final sounds that we hear in his albums may constructed by multiple slightly different presets to give the sound a bigger presence...

@josesvintagekeys 11 месяцев назад

@synthsite8564 Год назад

Enjoyed your video José, thanks. I believe the Blade Runner brass sound was Brass 1 & 2, but with the channel two detuned with the CH II Detune lever, that you didnt mention in the video. That would make the sound a little fatter.

@josesvintagekeys Год назад

Txx for your input - never thought of detuning…because the overall sound is always sligthly detuned - I wll give it a try! Overall consensus seems to be Brass 1 and 2 - which also means all the three patches were presets :-)
