Black Corporation Deckard’s Dream MK2 Polyphonic Desktop Synthesizer

The Black Corporation Deckard's Dream MK2 (or DDRM) features eight voices, each with two identical layered parts consisting of a 100% analog voltage controlled oscillator made with discrete waveshapers, analog lowpass and high-pass filter (each with their own cutoff and resonance settings, noise generator, unique multi-segment filter envelope, and VCA + ADSR envelope. Each layer also features its own independent programming section for MPE-based velocity and polyphonic aftertouch control of its filter cutoff and amplifier settings.

DDRM’s performance section features global pitch control with coarse and fine-tuning sliders, layer 2 detune slider, independent keyboard range control for each layer, mix balancing between layer 1 and layer 2, global filter cutoff and resonance offsets, and a global LFO to control both layers’ filter/pitch/amplifiers simultaneously.

DDRM was created with full expressive performance control in mind, and boasts programming sections for global MPE-based control over LFO parameters + pitchbend, as well as global key tracking control over the filter and amplifier settings of both layers. Finally, there is a global portamento/glissando slider affecting both layers simultaneously. The level of expressive control these parameters give over a performance is something found in very few synthesizers, and the result are stunning!

DDRM features full MIDI control and the ability to store 128 presets per bank across 10 banks, integrating this classic synth concept seamlessly into the future of your modern studio needs.

Deckard's Dream MK2 delivers everything the previous versions of DDRM in a new thin and light tabletop format with wood sides or rack-ears (both included). It also brings additional controls over Sustain modes and timing.
