Black Corporation DECKARD’S DREAM MK2

Deckard's Dream MK2 – 8-voice analog synthesizer with polyphonic aftertouch, MPE support, and microtuning – brings a legendary cinematic soundscape into the modern era. Inspired by a classic Japanese icon, the MK2 version features a hands-on interface, expressive modulation options, and a compact, lightweight design for studio or stage use.

Each of the 8 voices includes two discrete analog oscillators with independent waveshaping and separate high-pass and low-pass filters, giving you a deeply textured and organic sound. Mix pulse, saw, sine, and noise waves freely using dedicated sliders. The instrument’s rich modulation architecture includes multi-segment filter envelopes, ADSR for the VCA, a sub-oscillator-based LFO with routing to pitch, filter, and amplitude, as well as global portamento and glissando controls.

Deckard’s Dream MK2 is designed for expressive performance: it fully supports MPE and polyphonic aftertouch, with physical controls for brilliance, level scaling, pitch bend response, and filter modulation based on touch. These nuanced expression tools set it apart from other synthesizers, making it ideal for cinematic textures, deep ambient layers, and sci-fi scoring. With 128 patches per user bank (9 banks total), full MIDI implementation, and microtuning support, the MK2 is a versatile powerhouse for any advanced setup.

The MK2 update features a slimmer, lighter desktop format with included wooden sides and rack ears, improved sustain mode control, and expanded connectivity: balanced audio output, MIDI In/Out/Thru, and USB. It retains the beloved tactile layout and sonic depth of the original while becoming more portable and practical than ever.
