The Yamaha CS-80 and Yamaha DX7 are probably polar opposites in both operation and sound. The CS-80 is an analog subtractive synthesizer, whereas the DX7 is a digital synthesizer that uses frequency modulation (FM) synthesis. The only thing they really have in common is the Yamaha brand name.
This experiment was an attempt to see if I could make the DX7 sound somewhat close to the iconic CS-80 sound famously used by Vangelis in the Blade Runner soundtrack.
Instrument: Yamaha DX7.
Effects: Fulltone Tube Tape Echo and Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978.
Music: Main Titles from the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis.
