Vangelis & CS80 on YouTube
I remember seeing this a while back elsewhere, but I lost the link. Looks like analoghell put it up on YouTube. That's THE CS80 sound. Wow.
Update via reed in the comments of this other post: "The only string sounds Vangelis used the CS80 for were solo-string type sounds. He mainly used the instrument for that brassy lead, low drones, the guitar patch & the bass patch. He always did strings with a string machine. Those big impressive string & choir swells in Blade Runner are nothing more than a Roland VP-330 & a volume pedal with the occasional CS80 note on top or bottom. The VP-330 was also the secret weapon in Chariots of Fire, Missing, Antartica and The Bounty. Before that he used the Roland Paraphonic 505, and before that it was Farfisa & Elka boxes. The choir sound in "Heaven & Hell" was a real choir.
The real key to the CS80 is the keyboard with poly aftertouch & the performance controls on the lower right, not the main patch."

that's the clip Arturia had when they unveiled the CS-80V on their site. I have watched it probably 80 times.
