DeepMind12 Augmented Reality

Description
The Behringer DeepMind 12 opens up new dimensions of analog synthesis for your performances and productions. With 12 voices of true stereo analog polyphony, the DeepMind 12 allows you to layer rich, textural sounds. Each of the 12 voices features dual oscillators with multiple waveforms like sawtooth, pulse width modulation and unique tone modulation. Take your sound design further with the 8-channel modulation matrix, creating complex signal routing to morph your synth patches into entirely new textures.
Sculpt Sounds With Dual Oscillators and LFOs Per Voice
Every one of the DeepMind 12's 12 voices includes two analog oscillators, giving you the harmonic complexity to recreate those classic analog synth tones. Oscillator 1 generates sawtooth and variable pulse waveforms, while Oscillator 2 offers additional pulse waves with unique tone modulation. Unleash sounds from subtly detuned to wildly chaotic with oscillator modes like Unison, Mono and Poly. The two LFOs per voice open up modulation options like vibrato, tremolo and more. From thick leads to evolving pads, the oscillators and LFOs give you the tools to craft your signature sounds.
Transform and Morph Sounds With the Modulation Matrix
The 8-channel modulation matrix unlocks immense creative potential for morphing sounds on the DeepMind 12. You can route any of the eight sources, like the envelopes, LFOs and oscillators, to any of 12 destinations. Modulate filter cutoffs, amplitude, LFO rate and more to dynamically alter sounds. Link multiple sources to one destination to create complex modulation combinations. The matrix makes it simple to create sounds that shift and evolve over time.
Apply Vintage Effects With Four FX Engines
From rich reverbs to tape-like delays, the DeepMind 12 comes loaded with effects to add depth and dimension to your sounds. The four simultaneous FX engines provide over 33 algorithms from industry leaders like TC Electronic, Midas and Klark Teknik. Dial in lush choruses, psychedelic phasers and searing distortion. The physical modeling accurately recreates sought-after vintage effects pedals and rack units. The low-latency design ensures your effects interact seamlessly with the analog signal path.
Add Vintage Appeal With Unison, Sync and Drift
Beyond its analog signal path, the DeepMind 12 incorporates Unison, oscillator sync and parameter drift to infuse your sounds with vintage mojo. Unison mode stacks multiple oscillators for huge, complex tones. Oscillator sync produces biting, aggressive effects by locking oscillator frequencies together. And parameter drift introduces natural variation over time, taking the clinical digital edge off your sound.
Perform and Sequence With Onboard Controls
The DeepMind 12 puts hands-on control at your fingertips for playing and sequencing. The 32-step sequencer lets you program melodies and rhythmic patterns to bring your sounds to life. Shape sequences in real-time for dynamic performances or automate your sound design. The 49-note keyboard, inspired by classic synths like the Juno-106, enables expressive playing. Intuitive controls like the OLED display, pitch and modulation wheels and the "Super Knob" for FX and synth parameters also enhance the hands-on experience.

I owned a Juno 106 which this is supposed to be based on but it's a whole other beast! The programming can be a bit daunting but the included programs demonstrate the vast sonic palate this machine is capable of. The built in effects are absolutely superb and and it seems if you want to modulate something, Deepmind has a way. This board will be my experimental go to for years to come. As far as build quality, the sliders are a little wobbly, the case itself is solid and a bit heavy, the key action is superb for a small synth and the included aftertouch is a bonus. The keys are normal width but a little shorter than your typical piano keys.

I'll get back to you there is a lot to learn, atleast for me.
I adore this synth

So I adore the sound of this synth. I'm amazed also how versatile it is for so many kinds of synth sounds. It sounds great in a mix regardless of what it is and it tends to sound good on its own too. I wasn't expecting to get half the sounds I get out of it. Programming isn't all that hard comparatively to other synths I use on a usual basis. The FX engine is surprisingly powerful, though I wish I could run external sounds into it (I can't as far as I can tell atm) I think if you get this synth, you'll fall in love with it even if you are used to much more expensive gear. Some ideas for sound design Pairing this with an FM synth and/or sampler and layering patches will make sounds that are amazingly complex, unison mode is great and can make basses and leads that blow holes in walls. The FX engine can get you some pretty classic piano and organ tones. Some notes; if your sound is dull and you're using an interface/mixer with the option to, check the impedance mode on it, it can sound dull at line level low impedance mode, it's an easy gotcha to not realize. Overall, the best money I have spent on music in a while.

Love this synth - a little noisy on certain patches. Overall very happy though, especially for the price. Got a great deal on Behringer gig bag that fits it perfectly.
