Arturia CS-80 Blade Runner synth

The blade runner synth

Arturia CS-80 is a faithful version of the old Yamaha Blade Runner synthesizer from 1976.

It can do excellent brass and pad sounds.

The CS-80 synthesizer is part of Arturia's V Collection synthesizer bundle.

The most popular CS-80 producer is probably Vangelis, who made the soundtracks for the Blade Runner movie.

Arturia extras

Arturia has built-in an easy but powerful arpeggiator and a modulation system, controlled from the slide down menu at the top of the V3 host that runs the synth.

Blade Runner soundtrack

The soundtrack in the new 2049 version of the movie is made by Hans Zimmer.
