Gameplay: Bambino Ufo Master Blaster

Uploaded by macskajanchi on Mar 24, 2011

"Playing on Bambino Ufo Master Blaster handheld game.
VFD game from 1979."

via Sound on Sound (Be sure to check out the full article): "One of the best scenes in the film occurs early on, when Deckard (Harrison Ford) has an awkward meeting with Rachael (Sean Young). The music heard in this scene fits it perfectly, yet was taken from an earlier Vangelis album. The piece, 'Memories Of Green', is distinctive for its melancholy, 'drunk' piano sound. Raphael Preston: 'We used an Electroharmonix Electric Mistress flanger pedal on 'Memories Of Green', putting a Steinway Grand through it. The electronic noises on there came from one of the first hand-held electronic games, a Japanese thing called the Bambino UFO Master Blaster Station! I had to play it for the length of the piece without losing the game, because when you lost, it made the most horrible noise.'"

Vangelis Conquest of paradise (cover)

YouTube via mik300z
"My version of Vangelis' majestic masterpiece. The arturia cs80V that pops up in the video wasn't actually used for this track. I used the ESQ1 to re-create the lead sounds. I am trying to get my head around software and soft synths at the moment so it's only for show....for now lol! Heres the list of what did what.
Microkorg and Juno 106 -bass
Korg x5 - choir and pizzicato
Juno 6 - arpeggiator
Juno G- piano percussion and strings
Ensoniq ESQ 1- CS80 lead and sequencer"

"I didn't seem to make sense to make a exact copy of this great song - so I decided to give it a Synthwave feel and have a go at it with almost all synths I own. And inspired by a request by @educouchez6709 I have added some Rhodes solo's"

"I have added in this second version of my cover "Hymne-Vangelis"
a bass and a choir track.
The cover sounds now more completer than the previous.

I hear you now (Intro using Apollo and Apollo Mini synthesizers)

video upload by GS Music

"Here is a short video showing some of the capabilities of these little synths. Both can be used in monophonic or duophonic mode and can store user presets.
The apollo also has some CV inputs, chorus and delay.

Original song by Vangelis, from 'Jon and Vangelis'"

Synth Soundtracks

Micke came up with the mother of all lists for films featuring synths in their sound tracks. Click here for the list on VSE. So... the one thing that bugs me about VSE is that posts expire over time to make space on the server. That said, I will put the list in the comments. Hopefully Micke is ok with this. Pictured: Blade Runner featuring Vangelis and the Yamaha CS80. Trailer directly below.

Blade Runner (1982) | Vangelis on Hydrasynth | Soundtrack | A004 Blade Titles PS Patch

video upload by Microflat

"I was 12 years old. Knew nothing about Ridley Scott, Rutger Hauer or Vangelis. But the atmospheric sound of the now legendary synthesizer Yamaha CS-80 was an instant game changer for me. What on earth was that? The Hydrasynth is a worthy replicant. All audio output effects are default ASM Hydrasynth FX."

Blade Runner Blues lead demo

Published on Aug 13, 2018 Paul Schilling

"demo of the patch I created for Arturia's CS-80V.

The Blade Runner Blues lead / harmonica patch is one of the most expressive patches Vangelis ever did on the CS-80. Among other things it features sensitive and fine-tuned velocity and aftertouch response, with quite different settings for each of the two synth lines. Since it is not directly derived from the CS-80's preset buttons, as many of his other go-to patches were, and especially because it has so many expressive nuances, it is not a straightforward patch to recreate.

After many hours of fine-tuning every possible parameter on the CS-80V3 and much A/B comparison, this is the closest I have gotten. The pad background was created with the Roland VP-03 strings to emulate Vangelis' gorgeous VP330, and some Rhodes flourishes were added."

Performance of The Week: 'Vangelis'-inspired Melodic Eurorack Jam w/ Arturia Keystep Pro

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"A melodic modular synth performance loosely inspired by the late composer Vangelis, who sadly passed away this year (2022), particularly his unforgettable music for the 1983 movie 'Blade Runner'. This is a kind of homage to someone whose work has doubtlessly coloured the music of many musicians who came after him. The instrument used consists of a range of AJH Synth modules to create rudimentary analog percussion, choir' like pad, choppy monophonic pattern, and Blade Runner-is lead sounds, all of which are entirely analogue.

Modules used:
Percussion - Entropic Doom, Multi Burst Envelopes, Discrete Cascaded VCA
Choir Pad - Glide + Noise (a little glide added), Precision Voltages (for choosing note intervals whilst composing) Vintage Transistor Core VCO (x2, sawtooths), Wave Swarm, Fixed Filter Bank 914, Lunar Module (as noise source), Next Phase, Dual LFO + VCA (for panning FFB), Muting Mixer & VCA
Sequence - Vintage Transistor Core VCO (x1), Ring SM (adding 1 sub-octave, Sonic XV filter, Dual RVG (modulating filter), Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA
Lead - Full MiniMod voice (Glide/VCO x3/Ladder Filter/Contours/VCA), Dual LFO + VCA (pitch vibrato), DH-ADSR (providing envelope for vibrato level)
Sequencer used is the Arturia Keystep Pro"
