This way we can send the same MIDI to several instruments. The droning strings underneath are a stack in Logic (select a MIDI track and hit shift + cmd + D ). The main idea is in E major with a brief modulationР’В to B major in bars 8 and 9, before resolving in E again. The below score is close to whatРІР‚в„ўs there (at 64 bpm) but not perfect.

Also NovationРІР‚в„ўs Mininova and Ultranova have Vangelis inspired patchbanks you can download and hear here. HereРІР‚в„ўs a handy video explaining this sound in real time.

The patch is finished off with some healthy analog detuning and vibrato run into LogicРІР‚в„ўs Space Designer ( 1.7s_Blue Plate): IРІР‚в„ўve added some additional filter modulation from the modwheel and velocity. The sound is comprised of two detuned sawtooths (I used 4 cents between them) running into a resonant low-pass filter with some drive added.Р”В®nvelope 2 is controlling the filter cutoff with envelope 3 hardwired to the volume. We can approximate VangelisРІР‚в„ўs famous CS-80 sound with LogicРІР‚в„ўs ES2 or most other analog simulation subtractive synths. Phew! MainР’В ThemeР”Р„fter weРІР‚в„ўre treated to some opening words explaining the world weРІР‚в„ўre in, the Voight-KampffР’В test on replicant Leon and Deckard being arrested downtown, we finally hear the main Blade Runner theme in all its glory as we pan over the futuristic Los Angeles sky-line. Р”Р„ttack Magazine has written a little something about the CS-80, and there is actually a plethora of information on VangelisРІР‚в„ў recording of the sound track and general studio information here, here, hereР’В and here. Thankfully, the good eggs at Arturia have developed a very convincing vst emulation, the CS-80V. Weighing in at just shy of 100 kg and incredibly hard to find, you wonРІР‚в„ўt see much change from Р’Р€15,000 for one of these in good condition. And it was famed for its unstable tuning, making it fantastic for pads, brass, strings and leads with a natural, almost living character. The ability to store up to twenty two presets and four storable user patches, a ribbon strip and various other modulation sources made this an extremely flexible yet powerful and expressive sounding synth.

The synth itself has two independent voices, each with four notes of polyphony running into its legendary voltage controlled resonant multi-mode filter. Manufactured between 1977-79, this polyphonic beast is one of the most sought-after sounds in electronics music. VangelisРІР‚в„ў weapon of choice is the Yamaha CS-80, an instrument almost synonymous with him. Whereas some sci fi soundtracks have dated badly (letРІР‚в„ўs not name names), Blade Runner has, like a fine wine, aged gracefully.Р”Р„ musical glimpse of the dystopian foresight found in much eighties sci fi whilst sounding oddly timeless, the filmРІР‚в„ўs indelible mark is echoed in the countless examples of the soundtrack being liberally sampled and re-purposed, particularly in the futuristic obsessed end of drumРІР‚в„ўnРІР‚в„ўbass and jungle. The all-analog sound design coupled with VangelisРІР‚в„ў idiosyncratic haunting harmonies has resonated through the ages. All this is over a backdrop of a (shortsightedly near future) 2019 Los Angeles megalopolis, accompanied by a strangely optimistic Vangelis soundtrack, which is arguably as renowned as the film itself.

Perhaps releasing it two weeks after SpielbergРІР‚в„ўs E.T didnРІР‚в„ўt help.Р”В«lade Runner raises existential questions about what it is to be human and artificial intelligence, as well as drawing parallels to the Atlantic Ocean slave trade.

Scott had just come off the back of the hugely successful 1979 Alien, however Blade Runner grossed just $33.8 million (a drop in the ocean compared to other films of the same year ) and the film wasnРІР‚в„ўt seen as triumphant, but its cult status has cemented its place in cinemaРІР‚в„ўs history.
