Try this out. To me the Vangelis sound has the highs accentuated by EQ or is maybe more brilliant. It was professionally recorded so hard to say which.
Here is some snaps of the patch that I set up. Not perfect but you can hear the subtle phasing induced by the ring modulator.
Pretty geeky, but a bit of fun!

>>> Vangelis would get Dusty Miller to reprogram the presets to sound the way he liked, there was also the duel LFO mod he had fitted to many of his 80's. You may be trying to recreate a sound a standard 80 just can not do.

I had the overall brilliance at 0 and the sound was tuned using the VCF aftertouch modulation, Sub OSC speed and might modulation amount on the ring mod, low (or minimum) speed, high depth.The attack time and delay settings really helped tune the effect.

I matched them over the panel to tweak and see if the original Blade Runner sound was made by duplicating and altering the preset brass, but any changes moved way from 'that' sound.
