The creator of the website here. Thanks for your kind comments! Just wanted to add that I am currently working on a tribute to the original Blade Runner soundtrack... as the action of that movie takes place in November 2019 (!) Now re-creating the sound of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 (played by Vangelis) by programming varied analog synthesizers (I do not own a CS-80). Stay tuned!

I just want to say thank you. That classic CS-80 is probably my favorite instrument of all time. It makes me incredibly happy to see people still producing music with the same spirit. You may know about this already, but there's a small batch / DIY synth called Deckard's Dream[0,1] aimed at recreating the Yamaha CS-80 sound. [0]: Their website: https://www.deckardsdream.com/build [1]: A nice demo: https://www.youtube…

Yes, there is that Deckard's Dream project that already exists; Yamaha is also considering making a modern re-issue of the CS-80, and so does Behringer. Any good analog synth with with two filters in series per voice - a high-pass and low-pass modulated by the same envelope - can come quite close to the CS-80 (though purists will say it won't). Here where I am at the moment : https://soundcloud.com/audiosampling-1/november-2019-is-comi...

Do you think you can update the app to 1. allow premium users of the site to receive premium benefits in the app and most importantly 2. allow us to listen to any sound generator rather than a very stripped down selection, most of which are not free?

Each platform is independent and tries to fund itself. If I was working/forcing subscriptions, it would be different; I would likely offer a universal access to subscribers. Currently, each platform is friendly priced. On the web, users donate what they want; on mobiles, price is fixed around USD 10 for a lifetime access to all sound generators, current and future (currently 200+). The difference is that I program the web myself and it is my responsibility to live from donations. Mobile apps are subcontracted to a professional coder, hence the difference in models. I know, it is not easy to understand, when you don't know where the project comes from. I can understand your frustration. Feel free to send an email to me if this answer leaves you unsatisfied.

Must have that. But make sure it is ready within November 2019 (very important for obvious reasons) preferably before the Tesla Truck reveal.

November 2019 is the goal, of course!

@audiosampling: Is there a way to get these on the iOS myNoise app?

Composite generators are web specials at the moment, but as soon as the mobile app developer - who reads us here on hacker news, I am sure - finished struggling with the Android app, he will probably implement these composite generators on the mobile apps too. It shouldn't be too difficult, it's more a data parsing issue, than actual programming.

That is terrific, I'm very much looking forward to your Blade Runner OST homage!

I didn't know about the behringer clone, that looks pretty awesome. I'm certainly no synth purist, just very happy to see that the CS-80 vibe is still alive and well.
