Deckard's Dream MK2: Yamaha CS-80 replicant? + Track downloads

This review was fun to make!
Not just because Deckard's Dream MK2 is a great sounding synth, but more so because so much of it seems to have come from a parallel synth universe...
All of course inspired by the unique design decisions in Yamaha's CS-80, which include:
- An emphasis on expression (7 sliders dedicated to aftertouch controls! Plus a bunch more for velocity)
- Direct controls over dual synth layers
- A filter envelope that makes sense (?)
- Interesting sustain modes...
- Slider orientation from the twighlight zone...
- and more...
If you'd like to take a trip down memory lane - or ever considered this synth - this one's for you!
Attached to this post are both "outro" track videos.
All my best,
