"Unique chance to grab one in such a good shape, as those are no longer produced by Mos-Lab. I also owned an original Rsf Kobol Expander I and did some blind tests between both: impossible to perceive any audio difference, as Mos-Lab masters the vintage re-creation of legendary sounds."

Black Corporation Deckard's Dream & Kijimi Synthesizers

Published on May 8, 2018 Synthtopia

Note: Kijimi is actually based on the RSF Kobol mono synth. via the creator himself, Roman Filippov: "It’s a polyphonic kobol more than polykobol, since it uses ssm2040-like filters, not ssm2044"

"Here's an update on Black Corporation's two rack-mount analog synthesizers, Deckard's Dream and the Kijimi."

Deckard's Dream - Gear Guide - Superbooth 2018

Published on May 8, 2018 FACTmagazine

"FACT was at Berlin synth show Superbooth last week, where we tried out all the latest and greatest synth gear.

At Black Corporation's booth we got a sneak preview of Kijimi, a new eight-voice instrument inspired by a rare French polysynth from the 1970s. While we were there, we couldn't resist also checking out Deckard's Dream, the company's existing synth based on the Yamaha CS-80 – the synth used by Vangelis to write the classic Blade Runner score.

Watch above for an overview of the synth and a demonstration of its impressive sound engine."

"An expander synth for the Kobol I (if you are luckily enough to own). This unit is every rare!

Working.

New IEC power socket fitted.

The case (not the front panel) has been stripped and re-powder coated (repainted and oven baked!) - so case looks new (original was very scratched)!

Front panel is in good condition but edges do have small marks."

"I used to own an original RSF kobol and this unit is spot on, probably the best bass Ive ever heard and fits into a mix better than a minimoog. I think they may be just as rare if not more so than the original kobols. The sweepable waveforms allow you to tweak the frequencies to a perfect spot when the cutoff is down so you can fit the notes right into a frequency pocket. I would say it sounds something like a minimoog and a pro one had a baby. Sync sounds great as well. This unit is in its own powered stand alone boat but but can also be racked as a giant 5u module, in perfect cosmetic and working order."
