This sound was crafted using the Yamaha CS-80, a renowned polyphonic analog synthesizer. The patch combines pulse width modulation with dynamic filter modulation, creating a rich, evolving timbre that mimics brass instruments while retaining a distinctly electronic character. It's one of the most recognizable synth sounds in film history.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/vangelis-blade-runner-brass","recipe":"<div><h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: <span>Mono<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Amp Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Attack: <span>250 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>1900 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>40%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>750 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillators<\/h3><ul><li>Oscillator <span>1<\/span><ul><li>Waveform: <span>Pulse<\/span><\/li><li>Pulse Width: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>60%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Oscillator <span>2<\/span><ul><li>Waveform: <span>Pulse<\/span><\/li><li>Pulse Width: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><li>Pitch: <span>+1 Octave and -6 Cents<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>40%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter<\/h3><ul><li>Type: <span>Low Pass<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>75%<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>15%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Modulation Amount: <span>15%<\/span><\/li><li>Attack: <span>650 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>10000 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>10000 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO<\/h3><ul><li>Destination: <span>Pulse Width<\/span><\/li><li>Waveform: <span>Triangle<\/span><\/li><li>Amount: <span>80%<\/span><\/li><li>Rate: <span>1\/8 Note<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Reverb<\/h3><ul><li>Mix: <span>10%<\/span> Wet<\/li><li>Size: <span>Big<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/content\/2010\/02\/21\/the-iconic-sounds-of-synthesis-vangelis-blade-runner-brass-sound\/\">The Iconic Sounds Of Synthesis \u2013 Vangelis' Blade Runner Brass Sound (Synthtopia)<\/a>  \n    A comprehensive guide detailing the Yamaha CS-80's role in creating the iconic brass sound, including technical breakdowns and demonstrations across various synths like the Korg MicroKorg and Roland Juno-60.<\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/reverbmachine.com\/blog\/vangelis-blade-runner-synth-sounds\/\">Vangelis' Blade Runner Synth Sounds (Reverb Machine)<\/a>  \n    Explains the brass sound's origin from the Yamaha CS-80, emphasizing velocity\/aftertouch modulation and the Lexicon 224 reverb.
