Xils Labs The Eighty Promises To Nail The Classic ‘Blade Runner’ Yamaha CS-80 Sound
Today, Xils Lab shared a teaser for a new virtual instrument, The Eighty, that promises to capture the iconic Blade Runner sound of the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer.
In 1982, composer and synthesist Vangelis created what is arguably the quintessential synth soundtrack, prominently featuring the Yamaha CS-80. The Xils Lab teaser video, embedded below, features a modern recreation of Blade Runner’s goosebump-inducing Main Titles:
The Eighty joins several other software takes on the Yamaha CS-80, Arturia CS-80V and Cherry GX-80.
Details on Xils Lab The Eighty are still to be announced.
