Behringer DEEPMIND 12 True Analog 12-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer with Tablet Remote and Wi-Fi

Conjure up virtually any sound you can imagine with unparalleled finesse and ease with the Behringer DEEPMIND 12, a polyphonic true-analog synthesizer that combines 49 semi-weighted full-size keys—featuring velocity sensitivity and aftertouch—with twelve voices of analog richness, digital effects, and a digital control interface to deliver a wide range of sounds, from classic analog tones to modern, experimental textures. DEEPMIND 12’s core architecture includes dual analog oscillators and LFOs per voice, three ADSR envelopes, and a comprehensive 8-channel modulation matrix, providing deep, sonic manipulation capabilities. Four integrated effect engines, drawing from TC Electronic, Midas, and Klark Teknik algorithms, offer a powerful suite of high-quality effect processors for instant sonic enhancements.

DEEPMIND 12 features a 26-slider control panel, providing immediate and intuitive access to key parameters, as well as a comprehensive menu system displayed on a crisp LCD screen. The synthesizer also offers a powerful 32-step sequencer and a sophisticated arpeggiator. It supports extensive connectivity options, including MIDI, USB, and analog inputs and outputs, making it easy to integrate into any setup. DEEPMIND 12 offers full remote control of parameters (via iPad/Windows/Mac/select Android) over USB or MIDI. The build quality is solid, with a compact and portable design, making it suitable for gigging musicians.

Classic Polyphonic Synthesizer

The inspired synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and ’80s are etched in the annals of progressive rock and pop music forever, making them truly classic in every sense of the word. DEEPMIND 12’s pure analog signal path with legendary IR3109-style VCFs, stereo VCAs, and 12-voice polyphony lets you recreate all that magic or design the powerful, original sounds that just might make you a legend in your own right.

FX Racks

DEEPMIND 12 also includes four simultaneous FX engines with over 33 world-class TC ELECTRONIC, MIDAS, and KLARK TEKNIK algorithms, including Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Multiband Distortion, and many more. Custom-designed and physically modeled after some of the most iconic and sought-after processors, DEEPMIND 12’s FX were essentially “rebuilt” in the digital domain and put right at your fingertips. All effects run inside the low-latency environment of the DEEPMIND 12, ensuring flawless performance and flexible routing.

12-Note Polyphony

Playing chords and building textural soundscapes requires the ability to generate multiple notes or sounds simultaneously. DEEPMIND 12 boosts your creativity with 12-note polyphony.
Each voice has two oscillators, with OSC 1 generating sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms with pulse width modulation, and OSC 2 generates square/pulse waveforms with a unique tone modulation. With 24 oscillators at your disposal, a tremendous range of options become available, including the following oscillator modes: Unison 12/6/4/3/2 Mono, Mono -2, Mono 4, Mono 6, Poly, Poly 6, and Poly 8.
The addition of oscillator sync, oscillator drift, and parameter drift allows the recreation of the much sought-after warmth and movement found in vintage analog synthesizers, with improved reliability and stability.

Make Waves

Individual voices also have two LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) with a range that extends into the audio rate.
Each LFO features adjustable slew rate, modulation delay, key sync, assignable clock sync (internal or external MIDI), envelope auto-triggering, and Delay and Fade in.
The seven available waveform shapes are Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Sample and Hold, and Sample and Glide for an amazing array of tonal options.
The DEEPMIND 12 also offers a highly unusual Phase Link option for the polyphonic LFOs, allowing them to operate in Unison (Mono), or link with an adjustable phase shift between voices. Additionally, the LFOs can track key pitch via the modulation matrix, enabling cross-mod-type effects.

Envelope Generators

When it comes to envelope generation, DEEPMIND 12 has all bases covered, thanks to three 4-stage ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators per voice, each equipped with continuously variable curves for truly unique flexibility.
Envelope Trigger modes include Legato, Mono, and Retrigger. The envelopes can be triggered by key, individual LFOs, or the control sequencer and looped well into the audio rate.
DEEPMIND 12 serves up all the versatility and tone-sculpting options a professional musician could ask for.

8-Channel Modulation Matrix

Want to modulate the reverb tail or compressor with the mod wheel? How about driving the MIDAS Multiband Distortion effect with an LFO or aftertouch? With 19 modulation sources and more than 130 destinations, DEEPMIND 12 provides a multitude of modulation options. The “press & hold” shortcuts make the selection of those sources and destinations quick and easy.

32-Step Control Sequencer

The control sequencer features an adjustable slew rate and MIDI sync, and it allows a 32-step pattern of values that can vary from -127 to 127. Other parameters that can be controlled include note value, tie and length, slew, and swing. These can all be mapped as modulation sources to any available destination.

Remote Control

Comprehensive remote control is available for DEEPMIND 12 via the iPad/PC/Mac app over USB, MIDI, or built-in Wi-Fi for extended parameter control. The iPad app also features a robust preset manager, a gig list full editor, and an integral Patch Morpher.

Polyphonic Portamento

While most synthesizers only allow simple mono portamento glides, DEEPMIND 12 lets you create stunningly smooth mono and polyphonic chord glissandos that will really get your juices flowing. Options include flexible fixed rate, fixed time, and exponential pitch glide modes of operation.

Arpeggiator

A very sophisticated Arpeggiator is also provided, complete with a tap tempo button and user-configurable pattern modes that exhibit a level of refinement previously only available from a sequencer.
DEEPMIND 12’s arpeggiator can operate across up to six octaves, and you can choose from 32 preset rhythmic patterns with up to 32 steps and rests—or create and save your own.
Modes of operation include Up, Down, Up-Down, Up-Inv, Down-Inv, Up-Dn-Inv, Up-Alt, Down-Alt, Rand, As-Played, and Chord. A wide range of clock options are also available, as well as hold switch latching.

Chord Memory

Want to build impossibly huge chords that can be played with a single finger? DEEPMIND 12 allows you to write extremely complex chords and polychords (up to 12 notes each), save them into memory locations, and perform them with the press of a single key. There is enough storage space onboard for 36 six-note chords, all of which can be mapped to specific trigger keys.

True Bypass Mode

The FX menu of the DEEPMIND 12 is accessed by pressing the FX button, which in turn brings up the FX page on the LCD. This is where you assign, route, and adjust all FX parameters, including Mode, Mix, and Level. You can select the Bypass mode to completely remove the digital FX from the signal path for a pure, high-integrity analog tone.

High-Pass Filter

The 6 dB High-Pass Filter (HPF) in the DEEPMIND 12 lets you set the lower cutoff frequency of the output signal. The accompanying Boost switch applies a +12 dB bass boost to the signal path to fatten up the bottom end.

Large LCD Screen

The large and easy-to-read LCD screen provides rapid parameter editing and program selection on the fly for a total hands-on performance with real-time access to all important parameters. The screen shows the synthesizer status, parameters, and the five main menu pages: Connectivity, Keyboard, Pedal, Fader, and System. The contrast and brightness levels are adjustable on the System settings page of the GLOBAL menu.
