The mighty Yamaha CS-80. Produced from 1977 to 1980 for a hefty price of $6900 US. Not many are left in working condition. Mint examples of this glorious machine will set yet back about $60k US. The CS80 was a favorite of the late great composer Vangelis.

This massive machine was also a big part of making Michael Jackson's Thriller album and Toto IV. A very complex marvel of the state of art in electrical components like silicon chips and microprocessors.

You can also hear the CS-80 in the 1980 revision of the Doctor Who theme.

Ray Toler created this track created in a challenge to do something as "Blade Runnery" as possible. He used a real Yamaha CS80, the same rare vintage synth Vangelis used... sounds like an authentic outtake! Found the link on an online forum,

#MomentsLost - sounds and visuals from a lost world. A project with music and art inspired by the world of #BladeRunner. It started six months with our first Blade Runner tribute track, and after the great response it spawned the idea to make a whole album. We're approaching the creation of the music with a rig similar to Vangelis' original setup, of course including the Yamaha CS80, Roland VP-330 strings and Rhodes. On this track we also used the Prophet 5, Jupiter 4 and Analogue Solutions Vostok mk1. The working methods are also inspired by Vangelis, using a live and direct approach to capture the energy and feel of the original recordings where everything is played by hand. No midi is or will be used, only analog sequencers will be used. Together with a professional writer we're creating new small stories, called moments, that will be the themes for the music, and to please the eyes we're working with illustrators #KilianEng and #HR-FM for the creation of the album art. dwdesign.tumblr.com www.hr-fm.com We want to release cd, colored vinyl and an art booklet with illustrations for every track and documentation on the creation. All posters will be available at the gallery premiere the 31st of May. Published on Oct 29, 2013

Considered the best DR Who theme, featuring the BBC Radiophonic workshop and the best all time analogue synths, including the Yamaha CS80, Arp Odyssey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_theme_music
