Product information "Black Corporation - Deckard's Dream MKII"
Replicants are not clones! – Deckard’s Dream is a modern replica of the Yamaha CS-80. This mammoth of an instrument, which was released in the 70’s and weighs more than 90 kilos, not only influenced the music of the movie Blade Runner, but also albums made by, for instance, Kraftwerk, Vangelis or Jean Michel Jarre. The Black Corporation managed to stuff the eight-voice, two-layer analog synthesis system of the CS-80 into a compact 19” housing. Thanks to polyphonic aftertouch and MPE support, the instrument can be played very expressively. Its sound is warm, gentle and creamy. – A dream of a synthesizer.
Deckard’s Dream is an eight-voice polyphonic, fully analog instrument. Its synthesis system consists of two subtractive layers which can be mixed. The result: Voluminous, creamy sounds. Thanks to the Dream’s automatic tuning function, the oscillators track perfectly. However, with the help of micro tuning options, it is possible to create drifting sounds reminiscent of vintage instruments. Besides the chromatic one, there are several other scales you can use to play the Deckard’s Dream. It is possible to store 128 presets. Polyphonic aftertouch and MPE support allow you to play the synthesizer expressively.
