What kind of synth sample do you think would be the equivalent to that unique sound? ( you know the one....)

V~~~~~~~ did the soundtrack I believe, and they used the CS-80 extensively.

Edit: Er.. why is that blocked out...? Anyway, here's a CD by that artist.

So that you can't say ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~. :rolleyes:

[midphase]

Nope, you can't say V~~~~~~~, of ~~~~ V~~~~~~~ or V~~~~~~~ is an ~~~~~~~!

Amazing what this software can do!

Actually I know why you can't say V A N G E L I S, and if you want to know why I'll tell you!

You should check out the CS80v softsynth by Arturia. It is pretty much a knob-by-knob recreation of the hardware synth. Van-g-e-l-i-s tended to use a lot of slightly modified presets in his work and the original presets are featured intact on this recreation, so this should get you very close without much editing.

The Blade Runner soundtrack is a fascinating work. Van-g-e-l-i-s’ version wasn’t released until nearly twelve years after the films debut and as a result there was a plethora of bootleg releases (some of them more complete than the official release). It’s pretty fun to collect all the different versions. I have over 50.

Actually it was a trick question..

I thought it was so Bizarre that V~~~~~~~ ( hahaha… did it again!) could not be posted.

It was erased in a prior post I'd made.



But thanks for the synth information… that was interesting to learn.





Hmmm let's see…

OMG, this thread is funny lol
The people here really have a great sense of humor :D

Ok, here goes....there is "another" forum which I guess is a competitor of sorts, it used to be called ~~~~~~~ V~~~~~~~ or for those who can't read ~~~...S a n c t u s V a n g e l i s.

I don't think it's called that anymore, but I guess the admins sought fit to ban those two words from this forum.

V~~~~~~~. Huh.

[TARI]

I don't know really the meaning of those ~~~~~~~ :D ...but V~~~~~~~ is one of my favorite composers. He is able to do simple melodies, but really amazing!! One of the best without doubt!!!!!!!!

[TARI]

Hey!! Why cannot I write V~~~~~~~!!!! :mad:

ok, time to stop kidding. We cannot write that name because part of it (the part without the V) is part of the name of another nice forum, considered commercially as competitor. Where there is lot of people though. Writing the full name here would mean probably banning.

Ok. I understand now :p . I have to say that I prefer this forum and we always can call V~~~~~~~ with his true nameEvanghelos Odyssey Papathanassiou :D

Never heard a more expressive solo synth than on 'Blade Runner Blues'. The New American Orchestra version of the same track is equally as beautiful, but here the solo is magnificently performed with flugelhorn by Chuck Findley (The Tonight show Band).
