Yamaha CS-80 Blade Runner sound on a DX7

The Yamaha CS-80 and Yamaha DX7 are probably polar opposites in both operation and sound. The CS-80 is an analog subtractive synthesizer, whereas the DX7 is a digital synthesizer that uses frequency modulation (FM) synthesis. The only thing they really have in common is the Yamaha brand name.

This experiment was an attempt to see if I could make the DX7 sound somewhat close to the iconic CS-80 sound famously used by Vangelis in the Blade Runner soundtrack.

The DX7 patch will soon be available for download at https://store.dehlimusikk.no/ as part of a DX7 bank/cartridge I'm currently working on.
