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 store.dehlimusikk.no as part of a DX7 bank/cartridge I'm currently working on.
Instrument:
Yamaha DX7 
Effects: 
Fulltone Tube Tape Echo
Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 
Music: Main Titles from the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis

N-N-N-NEW TOILET EP
Read description. This thing was a blast to make, especially the last track. This is basically the closest to a demonstration of my studio's full potential, basically using all but 1 instrument. Apparently, the trick to making your synth sound super retro is just to detune and drift the fuck out of your oscillators, which both keyboards in the last track have in droves. I'm really liking the textures that are coming out of the DeepMind in general. It's based on the Juno-106, so it's an 80s synth at heart, but a 10s synth in body.
I still find myself gravitating to reapplying the limitations the Juno had, mainly syncing envelopes 1 and 2. I get GAS (Gear-Acquisition Syndrome) a lot, especially for dream polysynths like the Prophet 5 and OB-Xa, but this keyboard is probably all I could ever need out of a polysynth for a good long while. Maybe, one day, I can upgrade to a Rev. 2 or some shit, but for now, I need to appreciate what I could get my hands on.

Yamaha FM sound expander EMT-1
Tumblr media
As is seen in the picture, the yamaha EMT-1 is part of a line of home keyboard expanders Yamaha made in the very late 80 (and early 90s). these halfrack units were designed to stack, and apparently the EMT1 is the bottom of the stack, because it comes with little plastic feet installed. they also originally came with little clips to lock the units together, but I don't have those :(
The EMT-1 is the little brother of the FB01, which was a fully featured dx100 in the same half rack box. the EMT-1 is a preset only machine built around the same FM ic, and although that makes it much more limited, it is probably Yamaha's only FM synth that is actually easy to use. 
there are 32 presets, each with two macros, (slow/fast bright/mellow). there are 5 positions for each macro, (Ie from normal up to +2 bright or down to -2 mellow). this is unlike the EMR1, which only has large, normal, and small versions of each pattern, (also on that machine the slow and fast are sequencer tempo controls.) 
there also an lfo, with tremelo and vibrato mode, controllable only by midi, so if you can untangle this chart, you get lfo;
Tumblr media
(lol)
Anyway, the machine has 8 voice polyphonie which can be split into either a 6 + 2 right hand + bass mode, or a 4 + 4 split mode.
The sound
The EMT-1 actually sounds pretty good, it has pretty much all the classic yamaha FM presets, and it is a really vintage FM synth under the hood. the macros are surprisingly useful, and can either lesson the FM cheese factor, or let you shovel it on, as required ^^   
I recordered a little piece with this one, using it for the synth lead, and trying the 'drum' voice. I wanted to try controlling it with the EMR1, but I coldnt get it to work. I think that unit might just send clock (?).
 the drum preset was cool, but didnt exactly offer as many different sounds as I might have hoped, so needed some support. the lead is the trumpet preset with bright at +2, then filtered externally, and some layered 'strings' and 'horns' preset. with the brightness cranked the trumpet had a fantasitcally buzzy synth sound that took the filter very well, not realistic, but nicer in its own way.
also featuring me playing bass, and some drum samples (kick, crash, and 2nd snare). I layered the bass with a synth bass from the sq8x, (free vst emulation of the sq80) which I filtered for just attack.
