So much fun! I'd love to hear this track with less reverb, maybe it would be even better? I like this a lot though, great atmosphere.

These demos (I put them together during a frantic all-nighter before the big release) use the factory presets I contributed to the monumental Synclavier V project. All FM synthesis. Many people don't realize that Arturia's Synclavier V is the real thing and not an emulation - the actual original Synclavier FM engine.

The "Clockwork Orange" cover (first track) uses: A Clockwork Bass, A Clockwork Gong, Tron '82 Woodwinds, Tron Flute (velo), Tron Brass Ensemble, Tron Ending Credits. TimeWarp (hold)

Synclavier V Schilling factory patches (Wendy Carlos, Thomas Dolby, Eddie Jobson, etc.)

Recorded in "real time" in Live with multiple instances of Modular V to allow tweaking each part as it is running.

The Blade Runner Blues lead / harmonica patch is one of the most expressive patches Vangelis ever did on the CS-80. Among other things it features sensitive and fine-tuned velocity and aftertouch response, with quite different settings for each of the two synth lines. Since it is not directly derived from the CS-80's preset buttons, as many of his other go-to patches were, and especially because it has so many expressive nuances, it is not a straightforward patch to recreate. 

 After many hours of fine-tuning every possible parameter on the CS-80V3 and much A/B comparison, this is the closest I have gotten. The pad background was created with the Roland VP-03 strings to emulate Vangelis' gorgeous VP330, and some Rhodes flourishes were added.

If you own the Arturia CS-80V3 (upgrade to latest version), please feel free to download this preset here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4w0ZI7qhEzEVXhjeTNsMnFIR0U
