Behringer DeepMind 12D Synthesizer

Description

Drawing inspiration from the last generation of pre-digital analog poly-synths, Behringers DeepMind series synths deliver the sounds and player experience that inspired artists like Vince Clarke, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, Tangerine Dream, and countless more. Each DeepMind synth faithfully recreates the architecture of the world-famous model 60 and 106 synths, right down to the hybrid analog oscillators, IR1309 style chip, and control surface layout.

DeepMind 12D:

Above and beyond the classic 106, the DeepMind-12D is capable of twice the amount of polyphonic performance with up to 12 simultaneous voices. Connect this compact 18×9 module to your favorite keyboard controller for the kind of fat vintage-flavored sounds of the pre-digital era youve been craving since Frankie Goes to Hollywood owned the airwaves.

However spot-on they may be, Behringers DeepMind synths are far more than just clones. They sport many expanded featureslike an extra DCO per voice, 2 LFOs, and 3 ASDR envelope filters. But thats just the tip of the iceberg. DeepMind also features a 32-step control sequencer, arpeggiator, 4 digital FX engines designed by TC Electronics and Klark Teknik, and an extensive 8-bus modulation matrix.

The simple-to-use control panel layout inspires creativity with 80s-style slide controls for the ARP/SEQ; each oscillator, filter, amp, waveforms, and envelopeplus the pitch bend and mod wheelprovides performance-enhancing functions, like fingertip control over polyphonic portamento. Theres also a convenient LCD display with an encoder, navigation switches, and a data slider. Behringers free app lets you take complete control using your laptop or tablet.
