Ohhhhhh WOW!! Subbed now.
the invitation stands; but after the interview I understand why you are so busy :-)#losangelesheredrmixcomes
great job... Vangelis was a genius. I still hear I hear you now playing forever
I'm a simple man. I see a CS80, especially regarding Vangelis... I click. I subscribe.
It's great to meet fellow simple man ;-)
Brass 1&2, resonance zero, and most important general filter to minimum, then modulation with aftertouch . And Lexicon 224 reverb.
Great presentation- even Vangelis would have been pleased to hear this
I certainly hope so!
I LOVE This. Thank you for creating this video. I"m old now but in 1980 as a college student I would go into my local music store in Albany NY just to sit and play and dream about owning this instrument. I never did get to own one but wow it was fun seeing what you did in this video. Thank you
sounds amazing!!
I only have to work on my presence - than again blue is my colour ;-)
Excellent breakdown of the signature Vangelis sound!
You made me feel so happy with those songs. I was taken from the sunny Miami to the French Riviera... laid under the sun.
Evanghelis Odysseas Papathanassiou (if that is correct?)... That beautiful human being. He entered my heart, my soul...my everything. I love him forever! R.I.P.
mine too!
@@josesvintagekeys Than we are both lucky victims❤ I looked it up: Evanghelos Odysseas Papathanasiou should be the right pronunciation/with such a name all is good...whatever you do in life!
Very accurate analysis and considerations, emotions included. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge
Very nice, what a superb synthesizer collection you have!
Very nice!!!! I always wanted to know about how that amazing sounds was conceived. Thaks for posting, José.
Amazing synth
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this!
Absolutely fantastic! Great performance!
Very nice! Great sounds.
Vangelis + Anderson is magic.
Learned so much from my dads Vangelis (and others like Kitaro, Pink Floyd, Mostly Autumn, Marillion, and many more) collection.
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.
WoW, It sounds Big & glorious! Congrats!
It's great to see someone who loves these sounds as much as I do. For To the Unknown Man, try Guitar 1 up one octave and blend to taste. That's how I've gotten that sound on my Hydrasynth and Peak.
The Blade Runner theme that you played sounds really good but we can’t tell if you hit on the exact preset without listening to it along side the original track. Good job. Sounds great!👍
next i will add short clips of the original - if that is allowed vis a vis copyright laws
I'll always watch Vangelis content
thats very interesting for me to use my reface , the pictures in the studio are nice
Thanks for making this. Great to hear and see it.
Inspiring!!
Very interesting thank you
So cool. I love trying to do these sounds with the Arturia vst version of it.
you are amazing 100 persent
This was so great to see, really got those sounds perfect. Just one small quibble - The Unknown Man is in triple time, not 44!
oooooopssssss! one of my weak
spots. txxs for the feedback
You’re a lucky man to have a real CS!
I realise!
all good but you must for the blade runner sound litle bit detune the pitch so they become this phazing unique sound vangelis .......
fantastic, I believe next step would be to tweak the Lexicon 244 and maybe EQ, rather than the CS-80.
good point!
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 who does your videos
my iphone - by my son :-)
One of my favorite artists for over 40 years, nice to see you working on his music. Were you also at the performance in Rotterdam in 1991?
I was.....
Lucky you! I wasn’t -but how much of the performance was really live?
@@josesvintagekeys from where I was standing I think 50% was live. There was a choir and Jon Anderson sang too.
There were some synths and a piano on the stage but it kept raining so a lot of them had to be covered with plastic.
But the sound was incredible good. When I watched it back on TV I was glad I went to the event because I was there all afternoon prior to the event.
But the show was much bigger than what you saw on TV.
Still have this old worn out Eureka event T-shirt🫣
@@josesvintagekeysYou couldn't see that from the other side of the Maas, where the most audience stood. I think there was not much live, but I am afraid that this is the case with many concerts. In particular with key artists such as Vangelis and Jarre.
CS 80's brass voices sound amazingly thick ...
An iconic Vangelis sound that comes to mind is his use of the ring modulator on the cs80.
ruclips.net/user/shortslmCDnnhktlc?si=qPmA8wYvgtD1QEk2
Short stories brilliant album
fully agree!!! Still my favorite
Love it
Wow Lovely, can i ask where the echo/ reverb is coming from?
UA Lexicon 224 and Waves Delay
Very nice to see you have a Kyra. Hidden gem... I was never a CS80 fan. That is because people think it has got magical powers which is not at all!! Believe me, I replicate all sounds on my Summit...
I agree and disagree. I agree that there are many other instruments and plug-ins that can give you the CS80 sound....46 years after it was released. Obviously technology has moved on - and that is great news. But the instrument is so much more than 'the sound'. It's part of the electronic music heritage - with Vangelis (and many others) creating new music with it. On top of that it's an impressive piece of engineering. No magical powers - but a magical pedigree.
and I also agree on the hidden gem - just listen to this: ruclips.net/video/_dkpgAGuOoA/видео.html
That’s some pretty sacrilegious statement you make there. Sound can surely be emulated (V 9 collection) but it will never be the same as owning one. I wish I did.
Hello, can you tell me the name of the sound bank unknow man by vangelis? thanks
woooooooooooooooow 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Can you tell me what the swell is behind the Blade Runner theme?
Nice, did you try to make the famous fretless bass in See you later ? i wish for this amazing sound, Thank's for reading.
hi Michael, didnt really know the song. I assume you mean the bass solo sound at the end. I think it’s actually the bass preset, with filter almost closed. I am not near the instrument; will check it out next week
@@josesvintagekeys this is the bass sound : ruclips.net/video/On1yfjY3AsU/видео.html
Way back then I actually got to play a CS-80 in a music store. I totally didn't understand it at all. Now, I"d love to own one but I can't.
actually that is what i am trying to bring across: without knowing what it can do and fx it’s difficult to understand the hype.
👍
I don't know exactly how Vangelis did it, but I have never heard the sound of Blade Runner remade by someone else, even on CS -80... What you did is beautiful but we are far from the sound from the Blade Runner movie. How did he make this Vangelis? What did he add to his CS 80? in the original, there is a slight Phazing in the sound that I don't find at all in the sound you made us hear. There may also be a little bit of distortion. What do you think ?
Amazing sound, even U-HE Diva is still far from the original in my ears. When I started buying gear there were CS-80s around for 10 Grand and Jupiter 8 for 5 Grand (and Studer A820s for 7 Grand). Stuff from a different age never to come back again.
if we knew than what we know now :-))
Is it vangelis with "ge" or vanjelis with "je"
it is ge - but here in Holland we always get it wrong…
All these instrument will be lost in time like tears in rain...
I am wondering how would all that sound on the Oberheim?
Before I had the CS I did use the OB: here’s an example: on.soundcloud.com/vMvUoMer8CeVJotN7
@@josesvintagekeys Waw, very impressive! Still, the CS-80 is more accurate than Oberheim for Vangelis sounds.
How is there such incredible reverb on it?
Lexicon 224 - plug in Universal audio. I will make item on it
Thanks for your question, I have just made a video to answer it :-) Njoy ruclips.net/video/746TSq0u4RQ/видео.html
Who can repair the cs80?
so far i had no real issues.. but my dr Bob repairs all my synths
@@josesvintagekeys is he in europe?
@@josesvintagekeys i hope dr bob is young, because I don't think there is anyone in the world that will fix cs80's.
@@mattdelany6799 my tech is near Amsterdam. The main CS xpert is Ken Spong in the UK
Pretty close. Vangelis uses a lot more reverb. I had a Jupiter 8, and I sold it. I guess I like the Oberheim sound better, and the Minimoog. I have 4 of them.
VanGelis with a hard G not vanjelis! Like FeRaRRi and MoncleRRR
good to know!
just like Moooog - not Moeg ;-)
tienes un yamaha cs80 para copiar musica...que aburrido
Vangelis was a true master. His synths always sound organic. His albums Spiral and Albedo 0.39 haven't dated in the slightest.
Vangelis changed my life and makes me emotional every time I hear him. Direct, emotive and genuine in every note. I love this video and honestly would watch it if it was hours longer! Cheers!
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
RIP Vangelis. We wil never forget what a great musician he was. Back than in Aphrodite’s Child as with Jon Anderson as well as his solo albums. My favorites are 666, Heaven and Hell, Spiral.
Noooooo I did not know he died, where was all the coverage on TV! Bloody media. If it was a crappy politition it would be all over the place.
he died? it can't be true
Sadly so@@Galova
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.
to the unknown man, one of my all time favorite tracks, and remains so all these years later... it was so interesting to watch you recreate how Vangelis made it and the other tracks you played
Great to hear these iconic sounds reproduced and played so well! Big congrats Jose 👍👍👍. RIP Vangelis
That Blade Runner theme, what a soundscape…
Dear Jose, thanks so much for doing the video about the Vangelis' sound on CS-80, no one ever made such a detailed how-to video on RUclips. Have a great weekend!
A great weeked to you as well!
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!
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.
Vangelis was the Greatest Composer and he will stay that way forever.
What an incredible amazing synthesizer and the greatest synthesizer ever made. Used to make incredible music by one of the greatest musicians of all time. RIP Vangelis, you absolute legend.
Vangelis and a CS80 - it doesnt get any better!
@@josesvintagekeys Exactly mate! Exactly!
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
you will njoy the quiz I have just uploaded :-)
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!
I wouldn't add the 'extra brass' in the end.. instead use one of the two starters, they don't seem to differ that much. Simply beautiful demonstration though! It's truly a timeless instrument. Thanks for the video.
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.
Have you shared it on YT?
@@josesvintagekeys no, not yet. I do have a full backing track but it's in Cubase on my Atari ST. I must make some time to put my MIDI setup back together and get all those old songs converted to audio! 😀
All Three songs are some of my most favourite Vangelis songs. You sir play beautifully, and hearing them again, gave me chills! Thank you!
Amazing. I love Vangelis. He made so much for the ancient greek-latin culture from the Mediterranean. He was kind of a greek god come to Earth to show us how beautiful must sound the sounds of the Divine. He was constantly under inspiration of, who knows... some greek gods up there?
Pronounce of Vangelis is not correct...the "g" is "hard...like golf...
I will really have to work on that - It’s like Moeg and Maug..if you see what I mean ;-)
I would love to see more of these video studies, and I hope someday you make a video about Vangelis' masterpiece "Reve" from Opera Sauvage.
All of Opera Sauvage is a masterpiece.
Thanks, Jose, for the really great job. I Know, how difficult it is, to rebuild a sound on a vintage synth, but you matched it. :-) Great!!!
Great channel, great video, doesn't try to sell nothing, knows how to play, the sound is great and the camera work is fabulous.
Looking forward for more videos.
Thank you.
lower a bit the aftertuch =>>> then , blend the brass sounds with a little "strings" in the mix (not to be fully audioble, just into the deep)..... and you're done...
Since he considered himself an organist, I suspect toggling on and off Brass3 was akin to pulling stops. Ergo, it was both!
Vangelis - not Vanjelis. Otherwise interesting exploration of CS80
Sprial's title track is wickedly good.... The arpeggio intro sounds like it's from another planet
I think that arpeggio was done on a Roland system 100
thanks very much for uploading
Wow...my prefer. Artist...Vangelis forever...
Suscrito! gracias por tu video. Saludos desde Chile
Hi, in my opinion at the end is Brass 2. Nice video.
Brass 1&2, hands down
What most people who don't own a CS-80 have no idea of is that the CS-80 cannot do long attack times. To make Vangelis pad sounds on the CS-80 you need to use a volume pedal. This is rather strange, I service and calibrate CS-80's quite often along with all of the other CS series and the filter and envelope generator IC's are certainly capable of long attack times but the setup of the CS-80 limits the attack times heavily.
the attack time is indeed really really short
Excellent video! I think this will become a very popular video, and I hope you continue to make more like this.
Well,next to the real thing, you are the master of getting the Vangelis sound on your Prophet!
I loved his work with Jon Anderson. Arturia made a lovely CS-80 emulation.
fully agree! It is still my favorite work by him
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.
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 :-)
i hearyou know…
Totally forgotten that sng, but just mentioning brought it back.
my first love for Vangelis! Actually my first album
Love the kate bush poster. Great video too
Great homage to an iconic synth and a musical genius
It »s difficult to imagine that te second sound is supposed to round like a guitar
agree, but in the analgue days that was the case for all presets - maybe except flute :-)
What a sublime video. Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you Jose.
@@philipmulville8218 Txxs Philip. Glad uou enjoyed it
@@philipmulville8218 Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the greatest artist of the 20th century with the extraordinary sound of the CS80 ... thank you, Jose 👍
8:00 - I think the programmed patch you made was spot on
I bought Soil Festivities in 1992 and it's been my go to relaxation album ever since - timeless, simple and yet so complex
9:25 - I remember having tried to recreate the famous Vangelian slow-attack brass sound back in 1986 on my Commodore 64 with its three SID oscillators... IIRC I chose the sawtooth wave, with the lowest voice part having the slow attack while the intermediate and high voices using a faster attack. Yes, I'm a Vangelis fan since my teenage days... and therefore I ask you whether I may sample a few notes from your video...
Great you like it and please feel free!

On which machine did you do the "I Hear You Now" arpeggio?
Now playing: London Kid (Jean-Michel Jarre)
