Over 40 years later and we're still chasing those Blade Runner tones. Pure magic!

[@darkwinter6028]

Classic. Just pure, legendary, classic.

[@buttermilkbiscuit1021]

I thought chasing it 45 years later with all the tools we have now is pure sad.

[@LD-bv1pm]

I was a relatively solitary kid, I went to see Star Wars on my own at age 10 and Bladerunner at age 15. I remember coming out of the cinema absolutely awe struck. The effects, cinematography, music. I bought the movie poster at the cinema and proudly put it up on my bedroom wall. That was a happy time, this took me back, thank you.

[@josephramone5805]

I saw Tommy by myself, as well as Saturday Night Fever. The former, my parents dropped me off at the theater. The latter, I walked like five miles to a theater in the next town. I wasn't a loner, per se, but I didn't mind being alone. Same as today, as a 62 yr old. Cheers!!

[@NigelMarston]

This is absolute synth gold. I recently watched the film Bladerunner at the Apollo in Manchester with a live "electronic" orchestra playing the Vangelis soundtrack in front of the screen. Such a feast for the eyes and ears.

[@rayrecordings]

Whaaa? Where is this ? Are they touring in rest of Eu as well ?

[@WhoDarez]

Wow, this is a gold tutorial on THAT Vangelis sound. Going straight to my Prophet 10 R4 with a Big Sky reverb😎

[@surrogatemarker]

I’ve seen countless videos on how to create the vangelis blade runner intro on dozens of synths .. However, no one can show how it’s done with such Joy and love than DR. MIX!!

[@onsesejoo2605]

Plus it is done originally on Yamaha CS 80.

[@eldesgraciado6690]

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

[@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars]

8:50 incredible how 3 notes can summon up such powerful memories and feelings. Wonderful.

[@Turbigoo]

Probably the 1st sound I wanted to recreate on an Hydrasynth at the shop. Made the vendor smile : "Everybody wants that sound" 😅

[@DiamondWoodStudios]

Rest In Paradise to the great maestro Vangelis ❤ May his beautiful sounds live into eternity

[@Kouros-t6d]

Majestic sounds!!!! Vangelis was a genius ! My favourite albums : 1 Blade Runner 2 El Greco 3 The City

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

I love you, man. Every video you post is gold. I just wish I could toss some money your way. This has been my all-time favorite synth tone since first seeing Blade Runner in the theater when I was a kid (my grandmother would take me to ANY movie I wanted, no matter the rating). The joy on your faces as you unlock this tone is so, so sweet. I've been listening to Vangelis for most of my life, and his sound never gets old.

[@OliverBusse]

Oh yeah, the plain pulse modulation reminded me of the good old C64 SID days when this was done excessively in tunes like Yie Ar Kung Fu or Rambo First Blood part two - both by Martin Galway.

[@patkelly8309]

Did Martin do The Golden Path? Pole Wins.

[@David_Banner]

All hail the SID!

[@OliverBusse]

@@patkelly8309 Good question, but I dunno

[@mhoppy6639]

@@OliverBusse gotta say the Rambo II loading screen music is a very impactive piece of music. It really is a great song in its own right not just in the 8bit computer music genre.

[@jussikuusela7345]

MG, I think, was one of the pioneers in tweaking the SID parameters while the notes were playing. He got a bunch of awesome tunes under his belt.

[@PhilR0gers]

The Muse is astounding. I love the way you can patch it like a modular, but totally digitally. It's a composer's dream machine.

[@jpaul2559]

Love Vangelis , Love Moog and Love Doctor Mix

[@Banerled]

*_Thanks a lot Claudio for this incredible composer of all time with his incredibly beautiful sound._*

[@christopherprice3226]

Thanks for the Muse tutorial. Have had mine since day one . Its deep.

[@DJVasC]

What a great video, guys 🥳. I really like this type of tutorial: showing the capabilities of the synth (OMG, what a sound coming from the Moog…and the Reverb 😎), deconstructing the sound, and chatting together! Appreciate the hard work a lot 🤟!

[@andreasl597]

As I don't have the budget for a Muse, I just rebuilt this with my MicroMonsta2. Thanks DM for talking us through this beautiful sound classic!

[@sniperdoc8404]

Man... Doctor Mix is just the best. I literally come and watch his channel if I want to smile really hard that day. @Doctormix, keep doing what you're doing. You're an amazing person. I love your enthusiasm, your cheerfulness, your joyfulness, and you just really have the ability to brighten anyone's bad day. Every time I'm watching your videos, if my girlfriend is observing me, she'll say... Are you watching Doctor Mix again? Just because of the smile I'll have on my face.

[@YotamPiano]

Bro 0:35 your "hi" was just on point with the C note , that made my day !

[@thejonathandoan]

As if we needed more reason to love Vangelis...well, we now have more reason to love Dr. Mix!! This was an amazing recreation of one of the most iconic synth soundtracks ever made!! Incredible sound, incredible art. Perfection, recreated! Now I need to watch Blade Runner again!

[@martijn_sleutelplank]

On every synth I have owned one of the first things I always did was to try and recreate this sound.

[@danielkrause7914]

Great explanation Claudio! And yes....that Muse sounds really amazing indeed.

[@twinrock23]

I love your channel and I can’t wait to try these tweaks on my synth. Doctor Mix rules!!!

[@Iain2000]

Wow wow wow… absolutely amazing. That synth sounds mind blowingly good. Well done for another insane video Dr Mix!

[@richardvanenteren2745]

Really unbelievable how you managed this. This is really higher sound design class!!! I love it when a sound comes together😍😍😍.

[@trancextend]

I been obsessed over the last two weeks. I love this track!! ❤ I wish I could afford too but a Moog!

[@orionteck]

Really and so good!! Back on 80's, Vangelis is strong with you! Claudio, are you ready for Heaven an Hell album deconstructed Dr Mix version style? This album, Vangelis stared his philosophy & his magical sound, still inspire us!

[@James-Deep]

Thanks! This helped me get really close to it on my Gaia2.

[@ericdenoorman1188]

Esta misma semana me vino a la cabeza de repente la increíble música de Vangelis, Me entraron ganas de escuchar esos teclados otra vez, y quizá entender mejor cómo consiguió ese sonido. Al final de la semana me llega el vídeo de Doctor Mix y asunto solucionado, muchas gracias!!!

[@nicoskoumaradios8553]

Perfect! Well done ! Thank you very much. At the end, sounds like an entire orchestra

[@aquaticape68]

Awesome stuff Dr. Mix! Those iconic sounds send chills down my spine!

[@DoctorOscillatorMusic]

Sounds incredible 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@thejollyjoker187]

You guys saved everyone from throwing 30K+ on a CS-80..

[@baptistec.4546]

Get that neat Softube’s emulation, you will save more bucks and get the same satisfaction

[@FinnleysAudioAdventures]

When the effect kicked in it sounds brilliant listening on headphones

[@TheSloth1]

Nice piece of composition with the legendary synthesizer Moog!

[@MUSICSEARCH1200]

Todo lo que haya salido del maestro Vangelis, nuestro Bach contemporáneo, es maravilloso. Genio magistral, su música será eterna, nuestros corazones aún sienten su partida… gracias Doctor Mix por considerar a Vangelis para un video 🙌🏻🎶🙏🏻😔

[@josephramone5805]

I've designed a handful of Vangelis emulations using my Virus TI. The motion and after touch is easy on the TI, given how many modulator sources and targets it allows. Getting the wall shattering low brass is also relatively easy on the TI with the supersaw, third oscillator and a sub oscillator.

[@valleyken]

- Awesome. Love that Moog Muse. The looks as well as the sound.

[@Keyboardnut99]

Love my Muse great video Dr helping explain synthesis to the masses!

[@pronzac]

So mistic, goosebumps with this Moog

[@sean6387]

Claudio 9 - my favourite synthesiser.

[@3pw00dTV]

Amazing ! We need more explanations like those last two ❤

[@mhoppy6639]

The Gforce OB1 plugin for logic on Mac does a very very good impression of the bladerunner sound. It’s excellent. Wait for it to go back on offer and it’s an excellent deal. (And cheaper than a moog muse or (heaven forbid) a CS80. ! Great vid.

[@isa4777]

GoodGood Vibes...Vangelis DrMix Muse...Best Channel hands down!

[@jazzjeffjazzjeff]

Great and then greater and then greatest! Thanks a million!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Loved Blade Runner, it was so futuristic back then. The Moog Muse is amazing, all the sound effects without any external processing.

[@gonzalocuestas7440]

A little bit of chariots of fire I hear there? Superb.

[@tomkroebel]

I know that the sound of Vangelis will never be lost in time!

[@ewtam24]

Another great talk! Thank you!

[@artmicca]

Doctor Mix the Vangelis hacker! 🙌

[@stupidocanerosa]

I'm genuinly impressed by Louie. I mean, we all know Claudio and his deep knowledge in synth sounds and his out if this world sensitive ear, but Louie... man... no kidding, a real master tech.

[@Doctormix]

Luis is awesome. And Luke behind the camera is awesome.

[@stupidocanerosa]

@@Doctormix Of course the best maestro also has the best homies. 😉 Complimenti per la crescita del canale. Contenuti top, montaggio, top, riprese top, godimento top. Continua così. Come dice Lazzarin, VAI UOMO!!!

[@raoulduke6043]

I love these recreation videos, it's extremely interesting. On a different music type, would you fancy recreating Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi arpeggiators?

[@peppepop]

The world need more CS-80 :D Good recreation!

[@KozmykJ]

A truly Classic tone. 👍

[@onsesejoo2605]

Nice to see someone programming a synth in the chase of the original sound done on a synth from a different era. I really hope you remembered to save the patch. 🙃

[@karlscharpenberg8851]

I love this sound ,really good👍👍

[@bennethos]

very good tips for a synth or vst that is already very well in tune. This won't work for vst's that already simulate a certain analog/vintage character as the phase modulation would be excessive, but the theory is entirely correct ! Use your ears

[@robertturtle]

Man this is fantastic content! If you get a chance, could you please look into some ELO songs? Last Train to London has some amazing synth sounds

[@renevanderkraats224]

When I dabble and try to find some sound I have in my head, I usually quickly feel like 'No, I'm approaching it the wrong way, this isn't it, try something else'. But seeing you start from a simple saw to the end result made me realize I just have to be more patient and try more stuff before giving up on what I started.

[@sergiovegaz]

Great class Dr! Gracias!!! 😃👍

[@Spektralfarben-Music]

I generally like your content a lot, even if you're a bit too “hyped-up” for my personal taste ;) But the way you've nailed the sound here with the MUSE is great, well done and well explained. I really enjoyed it, thanks a lot!

[@newYorkStories]

@Doctormix Claudio! You know, I HAVE to buy a Muse now!! Tante grazie!

[@SonictrainkidDoesFurryStuff]

Great mix! Me and my 9 year old love watching you work. Question have ever thought of doing small-town boy by bronski beat. Mix on sir! ❤❤

[@halloweenjack569]

Great job!

[@bergertx81z]

I listened to Vangelis last album yesterday and am genuinely sad that there will be no more... ... and I´m gonna buy that Muse!!!

[@wilvanlammeren]

Another great reconstruction from you!!! ❤ I'm a big fan your channel. Question: Have you ever done anything from Joe Jackson? I would get very happy with a worthy reconstruction of Steppin Out with current synths. I think you're perfect for this. Please consider ❤

So cool. Now thinking if there's Blade Runner's main theme recreation in the works already. Oh, the end theme 8 days ago. Going there next

[@nicoguyot]

Why I'm only discovring now there's a Moog Muse ! So cool ! I want one now

[@rosalindwebb7729]

Amazing thank you for sharing ❤

[@RodrigoLobosChile]

Thanks for this gem. You may want to consider to create a video to honor two female composers (synthesizer precursors) Wendy Carlos (Tron and A Clockwork Orange soundtracks) Suzanne Ciani, Neverland

[@olsk0004]

Straight up sci-fi goosebumps.

[@AlvaroVega75]

instead of doing by pwm on vco 2 ( with an LFO to control pwm) i simply use another sawtooth on vco2 detuned a little bit, that also creates that "phasing fx",...

[@Aengus42]

This was Vangelis in his majestic phase, but how many are aware of his roots? Vangelis & a mate that I bet your Nan knows, Demis Roussos, started a prog jazz-rock band called Aphrodite's Child. Their most famous, and therefore easily found on here, album is "666". It's fascinating to hear them both a few months before their solo careers took off. The album has been sampled to death and it's an interesting long term exercise spotting where snippets pop up. I'd advise the psychoactive of choice, a huge, comfy settee & some decent headphones before embarking onto the Aegean of 1972... (even if it was recorded in Paris!).

[@GuyVignati]

All very well done! It’s unfortunate though that Moog didn’t implement Poly Aftertouch, that would have been the cherry on top 🍒

[@skrie]

The Muse would be sitting in my studio right now if it had Polyphonic Aftertouch. I guess the Hydrasynth Deluxe gets to stay.

[@Gary.Holmes]

I love you guys! Thanks for the inspiration. Now... can I do this on my Fantom-8? I'll get back to you! NEEEXXTTTT!!

[@ManuelKellermann]

That. Sound. Thank you!!!

[@JustLocal]

Takes so much time!

[@benjaminframe5530]

Great vid, as usual….can the Muse sound like a Juno?

[@Doctormix]

I think so!

[@benjaminframe5530]

This is unreal!!!

[@CraigK80]

Amazing stuff!

*Dr., Do you like the album, Crash and Burn by Pat Travers? I would love to see you work with that a little. Or a lot.*

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

Awesome, instant goosebumps, but ... exactly what I did some days ago, but unfortunately not yet on the Muse. 🤔 Are you stealing my ideas? 🙃😆

[@ru9204]

Nice work 👌

[@maineim3003]

Great!

[@haukionkannel]

Not bad at all! Vangelis was just a iconic composer of modern era. And those sounds were rather close to original.

[@andreybasov6982]

Amasing!

[@MarceloSimoni]

Great video as always Claudio! Love the Muse, but honestly in this specific case (CS80 emulation) I had muuuuch better success with the inexpensive ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe…

[@RayyMusik]

I have both the Muse and a Hydrasynth, and I don‘t think so.

[@geekazoid]

What happened to the mixing board?

[@bengerardo2357]

WOW, SO GOOD.\ TEARS HAVE COME TO MY EYES.

[@francoisg9154]

Wow ! A Moog Muse ! How long did it take you to control that keyboard ? FrenchGuy ;)

[@DarioDarrow]

3:18 80's Doctor Who vibes 🙃

[@RayyMusik]

Claudio, your result is excellent as always, but setting up modulations this way is too laborious. If you want to assign aftertouch to the cutoff, its wayyyy faster to use the ‘Assignable Controllers‘ section. In this case: 1. press AT, 2. dial in the value with the cutoff knob, 3. press Enter. You can also add other destinations before 3.
