The passion you transmit always makes me feel revitalized, especially after such an intense and stressful week. Probably too much metaphysical for a YT comment, but sometimes watching you makes me feel like it's okay to not be perfect, to be human, to feel and live emotions in the moment, where anything else doesn't matter, it's just you and music. It heals the soul. Thanks hermano.
Gianluca, thank you for that comment it means a ton. I've noticed that in my life if I stop creating (making music) for like a week or something I start getting anxious or antsy. In the words of NDATL "Life is good after a session"
In this world of endless, underwhelming vst’s that promise the world and never deliver, it’s SO refreshing to see a proper analogue synth done right. No digital multifx, no other crappy bells and whistles, just purely focused on the beauty of the synth sound. Bliss
Dang, the homework assignment I didn't know I needed: Figuring out how to map this same exploration on my Hydrasynth deluxe. It's gotta be possible... inspiring stuff, fr
The format of this video, a cool synth and your amazing creative skills on display in real time, and all that exploration of synthesis, I really f’n love it. I hope we get more of this type of sonic exploration.
Our dude Tinez learning something new about a synth by accident. You make me feel a bit better and I’m glad I’m not the only one. I find out everything that way. Like having a Sledge for 3 years then watching a U-Toob vid and discovering THEN it’s multitimbral.
Glad you found the menu settings for envelope times! Similarly, your controller's channel aftertouch should work if you change the menu setting from Poly or MPE to Chennel pressure.
Dude! This synth sounds amazing. Reminds me of tones and sounds of some of my favorite Detroit artists and such. I love the way this sounds. Nostalgic memories of early day’s listening to Stasis and B12. Cool vid man.
You can automate the feet via midi... From modular even with a cv to midi module. Every slider on the front panel has a CC#. I think you can set the attack and decay up to 59 seconds!
You got it with the sine - it's a single frequency, so a filter either isn't affecting it, or it's attenuating it/muting it completely. Great vid - it's making me want to play with my DD, and also makes me wish I had the desktop version!
Still my all time dream synth. Love to see you make more content with it! Still debating wherever to continue down the Eurorack road or just get one of these beauties.
SERENDIPITY!!!! the day I receive my new sample player module, is the day a free sample pack of one of my favorite synths i can't afford drops.... holy crap, this made my day beyond comprehension!!!!
3:44 Nice to know that there's a "PNL" mode to disable memory and work directly for a bit. I was shocked to learn that the Buchla e-series does not have such a mode. Can you imagine?
Wow, it sounds really amazing! I had sorta assumed that to get the most from it I would need to get a MPE controller.. just cause it seemed to me that so much of the CS80s sound had to do with expressively with how you could control it.
Brilliant! That's sooooooooooooooooooo good Funny thing about full size 37-key midi controllers with aftertouch, there not being any Best bet these days would be the UNO Synth Pro.
Ricky, have you seen the Octatrack technique of creating chord progressions? You play 8,16,32 whatever chords of the same length into a sample, making sure not to have like ringing releases, so the chord starts exactly where the Octa would chop it, then you play the slices.
Have you tried using the Rita & Aurora J. F. Sebastian Deckard's Dream plugin for control/automation in your DAW? They have one for the Kijimi as well.
Such an impressive synth, can you actually make it sound bad? I do think you should get an MPE controller with it, it’s such a joy to play with a few extra parameters with your fingers!
Great goose-bump sounds from the Deckard's, Ricky. I see you have the 3rd Wave twinkling behind you for several weeks now ... that's an expensive synth to just use as a flickery-light-blinky-blink-blink neon sign in the background. Do you plan to review it or make a video on it?
Would you rather recommend the Deckard's Dream or the Kijimi if I was considering getting something from Black Corporation? I already have the Roland JP8080 which seems to be pretty similar to the Deckard's Dream 3:30 with it's Juno'esque engine with 2 layers and I'm fascinated by the sheer number of LFOs you can apply to anything on the Kijimi. It seems to me like an 8 voice Norand Mono (which I love)?
I know it's not out and probably has a fair few metric tons to prove, but I'm personally saving for the Pro-800. It's no Deckard's dream for sure, but maybe it'll be good as a first analog synth? Here's hoping
That third patch though... Ricky, a video question: do you shoot in SLOG3 or some other kind of picture profile? Shooting for this same look but colours on the footage straight out of camera isn't hiting the mark. Thanks for all you do, man.
Be interested in your thoughts on the Deckard's Dream's balanced output. You appear to be plugging straight into the reverb pedal, so I assume that works but is it better to turn the balanced output into an unbalanced signal? Is there any advantage to that?
Unbalancing a balanced output defeats the purpose of having a balanced output, besides you'd have to get into splicing cables to do that, and that just sucks. (Some people like it I guess...) Balanced outs provide a unit's cleanest signal with the most gain, the increased gain is even in the name: balanced are also known as +4 dB out, and unbalanced are -10 dB. You don't have to use XLR connectors end to end for a balanced output, there are "regular" cables called TRS that provide the same clean, maximized gain. You can tell a TRS cable because it looks like a regular synth or guitar out cable, but the plug has two rings instead of just one.
People may hate me for it, but synths like these where even the modern remake is out of financial reach are exactly the kind of synths I hope Behringer makes $300 copies of.
And curious that snobs only criticize Behringer while expensive synths are not touched with their criticism. It looks it is all about money and selfishness.
@bobmurray2534 I think Behringer also has features the original doesn’t have, you forgot to mention this as well. On the other hand, not even the Minimoog reissue sounds like the original 100%, nor Deckars Dream, nor SE02, nor Korg Odyssey, etc., it is not an easy task it seems (maybe aged components matter as well). But the important thing is that it sounds good and you can get the same utility with good sound, that’s all what matters when you create music. The Behringer synths sound close enough, they are a good purchasing.
@bobmurray2534 I think there are several good artists all over the world, only that they may not be famous or mainstream. I have found amazing artists. Personally I don’t care about the instruments others own, but some people seem to care, that’s the reason of a lot of that conversation sometimes, although the conversation is legit and valid. On the other hand, I think a lot of the time the Behringer gear sound like the original, only that sometimes it doesn’t (same as other clones from other brands), it it is usually not relevant and a lot of times is going with the synth to the limits. I don’t care about he helicopter sound, or whatever weird sound cannot be replicated, I like usable sounds which I can use in my music and the synths I own from Behringer do the job really well. That’s all what matters in my opinion.
@bobmurray2534 yeah, music is subjective, although I think there are factors to consider: 1) cultural factors, exposition to certain music can create engagement 2) there is certain level universal criteria (not absolute of course) for some things not all elements in music are completely subjective, for example the perception of conclusion in a chord progression, or the perception of what is a dissonance or what it is not, what is more tense and what is less tense, or the combinations of chords which work, there are thousand of compositions using some chord progressions, and it is because it is universally accepted as chords which work, or maybe all of us know that Beethoven or Mozart were great musicians, among other examples where subjective appreciations may become collective, there are studies about babies and music, reacting to tonal and atonal music, etc. 3)there is subjectivity, but it also depends on your perception, how trained you are, etc. Your own subjectivity could change the more you learn about music (the proof is that all of us found our first tracks great but this may change the more you learn music, because your are not blind to some elements which were not possible to detect before), subjectivity exist among experimented musicians, although the elements which people enjoy in certain genres can be used in other genres (example jazz chords in classical music or viceversa, it happened already where Debussy is one famous and important character). 4) I think even we could have suggestion as element, there are people who try to force their tastes, maybe because elitism (example: listening to classical music may be associated with socio economical topic and some people may need it to try belonging in some place or some people who listen atonal music and they convince theirselves that tonal music is no longer enjoyable because some people want to pretend they understand complex music, I have seen this).
sine wave is a fundamental frequency only and has no upper harmonics of any kind. That is why it doesn't exist in nature. but I don't get what you mean with "you cannot filter it" - of course you can.
You should do some patches like this in Vital Audio's Vital VST. You might be able to recreate them to a degree. The patches seem to be using the power of pure sine waves with some other layers on top of them. "Deckard Dreaming In Free Vital Synth" might be a nice video title. Then you can offer sounds and patches for that and almost anyone can design some of their own patches as long as they have a DAW. Just a suggestion for content...

I finally understood what all the fuss about the CS-80 is about! This is amazing!
In this world of endless, underwhelming vst’s that promise the world and never deliver, it’s SO refreshing to see a proper analogue synth done right. No digital multifx, no other crappy bells and whistles, just purely focused on the beauty of the synth sound. Bliss
and no menu's!
CS 80 is indeed legendary
I love that Ricky is also learning while chaperoning us through this sound design sesh

I love that moment when making a patch and the synth just melts my brain. Always cool to watch your process.
Smooth as always Ricky! Man an hour of that just shifting keys is a vibe for work/study thats for sure!
right?! I love that sound so much
I love the sliders look and feel over knobs. i can remember visual patters much better this way and see what is happening at a glance
Black Corp design amazing instruments and Ricky always inspires me to turn on my synths and enjoy a jam. Lovely.

lol what does he mean by feet?
@@jakejacobs5324 The frequency range of the oscillator is based on the old concept of pipe organs. The longer the pipe, the lower the register.
When you go delicate on the reverb it's beautiful
All in for more Deckards vids!
These sounds have such a majestic, ancient vibe. Reminds me of The Black Cauldron movie and Rhubarb by Aphex Twin!
Deckard's honestly just sounds magical!
loving the samples fed into my digitakt, you're a gentleman and a scholar, thank you
Some pretty hefty subs lurking under there.
First time listening to a proper demo of this synth - *now* I get the hype around it 🤩
The Deckard’s Dream and your patches would be wild with the Osmose
You got it with the sine - it's a single frequency, so a filter either isn't affecting it, or it's attenuating it/muting it completely.
Great vid - it's making me want to play with my DD, and also makes me wish I had the desktop version!
I'm pretty immersed in analog, and the DDRM truly has a unique sound. This definitely has to be my next synth. Thanks, Ricky!
That blue synth in the background is such a tease
Thanks for the free samples. Going to put them on the SmplTrek along with the awesome DB-01 bass samples you did. Much appreciated!
Still my all time dream synth. Love to see you make more content with it!
Still debating wherever to continue down the Eurorack road or just get one of these beauties.
i heard that first patch and INSTANTLY fell in love :0
You bastard. As if I didn't want a Deckard's Dream badly enough already!! So many gorgeous sounds.
Another superb exploration. I love how Ricky takes his time and you can really here the tones. Bravo
Wow! That might just be the sweetest sounding synth I’ve ever heard. Just huge, rich, expensive sounding tones coming out of the Deckards Dream
Some really gorgeous deep house sounds coming out of my HPs brother. Thanks for sharing 🙂
SERENDIPITY!!!! the day I receive my new sample player module, is the day a free sample pack of one of my favorite synths i can't afford drops.... holy crap, this made my day beyond comprehension!!!!
The words "gorgeous" and "sumptuous" come to mind 🙂
The first second of that sound 😂 amazing. This is my biggest, “Could I?” Yes. “Should I?” No. Synths
That my friend, was something ! thank you!
Ricky im loving your channel man! You are the Boss Ross of House music and gear. Happy trees.
Thx Ricky!! I’ve been saving up for one after getting my hands on it at last year’s knobcon…….. my dopamine pump blew a valve. 😉
Thanks, That was a wild ride into Sound.
3:44 Nice to know that there's a "PNL" mode to disable memory and work directly for a bit. I was shocked to learn that the Buchla e-series does not have such a mode. Can you imagine?
$4k for that thing?!? it sounds amazing, but jeez, you could get so much more for the money. great vid and awesome to hear what you're doing with it.
Fucking hell that thing sounds incredible. Beautiful patches.
A little? like the Roland D-50 (one of my favorites ) where you join PCM samples with independent wave forms. v. cool!
Oh man that was a beautiful sesh!!!!! Got my eyes wet, too 🙏
Man, I love what you do.
Big Bob Ross energy in this video. Super soothing to be serenaded by Ricky playing the Deckards Dream and softly talking us through sound design.
Wow, it sounds really amazing! I had sorta assumed that to get the most from it I would need to get a MPE controller.. just cause it seemed to me that so much of the CS80s sound had to do with expressively with how you could control it.
this synth reminds me of the cs80. ill have to do some research comparing the 2 and their relations to each other.
@@Jordanchicity23 it’s “inspired” by the CS80
Sounds NICE. Thanks.
Yes! Been wanting some deckards samples from you
I use the OBX8 ones all the time
oh hell yea! Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad someones getting use from them :)
I’d like to send you some pre rolls from our Canabis club in Cali. We got a great blend for analog goosebumps.
Brilliant! That's sooooooooooooooooooo good
Funny thing about full size 37-key midi controllers with aftertouch, there not being any
Best bet these days would be the UNO Synth Pro.

BC makes very decent sounding synths
Man. That thing sounds nice Rick!
Thanks for the video! ❤
on the Deckard’s Voice the LFO sliders are opposite 😊
for level
Damn, that synth sounds gorgeous...! ❤
Have you tried using the Rita & Aurora J. F. Sebastian Deckard's Dream plugin for control/automation in your DAW? They have one for the Kijimi as well.
Amazing synth. My favorite ! Can you tell me your midi keyboard ? Really nice too..
Such an impressive synth, can you actually make it sound bad?
I do think you should get an MPE controller with it, it’s such a joy to play with a few extra parameters with your fingers!
Hi Ricky, is the cs-80 Arturia plugin would do the job
Sounds gorgeous! Thanks!
Rule No.1 Ricky, RTFM ! LoL
Really wish the sliders had brighter knobs !
My wallet is afraid, very afraid!
Damn you always making me want to buy more gear.
which one do you think is better? ISE-NIN or this "CS80"?
would love to see what you could do with a Seaboard Rise with this synth. per-note MPE with this I think would blow your mind....
Great goose-bump sounds from the Deckard's, Ricky. I see you have the 3rd Wave twinkling behind you for several weeks now ... that's an expensive synth to just use as a flickery-light-blinky-blink-blink neon sign in the background. Do you plan to review it or make a video on it?
its just a prop.. haha jk. I've been really wanting to understand on an intention level before I share thoughts on it. soon though
Carl Sagan rising from the grave man 🥲

Enjoyed very much dude,great sounds
Nice, thanks dude
That's a pricey synth but it's got the sound to merit it... Almost. I'll keep saving for a dreadbox nymphes in the meantime
I know it's not out and probably has a fair few metric tons to prove, but I'm personally saving for the Pro-800. It's no Deckard's dream for sure, but maybe it'll be good as a first analog synth? Here's hoping
Rickey, have you changed your DD, i thought you had the first version like mine, any major differences ?
Great video, love your voice
Inspirational
Curse you, Enrique! I can’t afford to stay subscribed to your channel! ;)
That third patch though...
Ricky, a video question: do you shoot in SLOG3 or some other kind of picture profile? Shooting for this same look but colours on the footage straight out of camera isn't hiting the mark. Thanks for all you do, man.
The mod wheel controls the feet I thought?

P.S. standard synth & guitar output cables are also known as line level.

Its basically 2 pro 800s plus a highpass filter. So definetly not under 600.- But i wait for thr behringer too!

Wish I could afford one.
yooooooo, you work/worked for Novation? Yea, I found you lol. Thats cool as shit...
Do you still have it :)? 1 year later?
RIP Patch 2
And here I thought the OB6 was my dream synth…

I will have to get out my smartphone's camera just so I can see the screen better. That screen looks way too tiny for me.
17:02 LET THEIR VOCIES BE EQUAL.
did it come with a manual?
Hear!!
Wow
LUSH
OMG you bought a deckards' dream?
Hobbits on the Moon.
Got damn dude why you gotta make videos that make me spend money like this?? I didn’t know I was getting a Deckard’s seven minutes ago.
This would be killer being controlled from my Hydrasynth.

Are you aware of the reason it’s named Deckard‘s Dream?
@@Markybeeski absolutely. Vangelis and the cs-80 are all over blade runner.
It’s meant to.
@@notsure1135 it’s by no means identical.
@@PhilB303 it's a clone of it, as best as they can make with what parts are available.
