Behringer DEEPMIND 12 True Analog 12-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer, 4 FX Engines, 2 OSCs and LFOs per Voice, 3 ADSR Generators, 8 Channel Modulation Matrix, 32-Step Control Sequencer, Remote control

I've been playing and buying synths since 1970 and only recently started to buy Behringer models. I first got a Poly D and was blown away by it's power and similarity to the MiniMoog in layout but then I decided to add a Deepmind 12. This has to be the bargain of the synth centuary. I'm getting sounds normally associated with synths like Juno, Prophet, CS80, PolyMoog and other such greats. This is an amazing machine and had I paid 2 or 3 or even 4 times the price, I wouldn't have been disappointed. Don't listen to the comments that say it is an entry level synth, it's far more than that although it would be a great first synth as you can start getting some wonderful sounds from it as soon as it comes out of the box. *****+

An incredible synth. Simple to start playing with but with loads of depth to the sounds and effects. One of the best synths I’ve ever used and an absolute must have for any modern synth setup. Modulation matrix let’s you route up to 8 controllers (such as LFO, mod wheel etc) to almost any parameter and the built in effects units can be chained in various ways to really alter the character of the oscillators. Mind blowing stuff and worth every penny. Unbeatable in the sub £1000 range.

Not only is this a fantastic synth at this price point but it’s a fantastic synth full stop! Lush warm and rich analogue tones. The filters sound amazing and the 12 voices allow the creation of unbelievable soundscapes. It also connects easily to the windows app and also the IPad to delve deeper into sound design. This will be in my collection for a long time and will feature in all my releases moving forward!

First off, yes it is a fantastic and complex synth for the money and the 'general' build quality is excellent. However there seems to have been some quality control (or maybe just 'quality') issues with the key-bed. I've seen a few Youtube videos and read a few post with users complaining about 'dead keys'. This is where you play a key, but you either get no sound from that specific key or it doesn't consistently trigger a note. I had 2 such keys on my unit. Interestingly it seems to always be an issue with minor (black) keys. I've contacted Behringer support, who guided me through some calibration settings, but the problem persisted. I've booked a return to Amazon (always impressed how easy that is). Unfortunately I have to miss out on the pretty sweet deal I'd had. The unit i bought was listed as 'from the warehouse' (basically Amazon's version of 'B-Stock'), so there was already about a £35 discount. But there is currently a promotion on where-by certain warehouse items receive a further 20% discount. So I saved quite decent amount. Unfortunately I can't just replace my defective 'warehouse' unit for a full price one, so after my refund, i'll have to pay about another £150 to buy one full price. Damn. Was so close to a great deal there for a minute!!! :/

It's my first analogue synth so I have nothing to compare it to, but I'm loving it either scrolling through 1000 plus presets, or making new sounds. Display is basic but tells you all you need and the Windows app augments it. Only slight minus was the lack of written information that came with it. Needed a download to access some of the features, which wasn't mentioned anywhere. That aside, excellent, good value and sounds great.

Love it. Moved from hardware synths to software, now I'm back to hardware with the deepmind 12, and it's been a good decision, great to have cthe control of the sounds at your finger tops. Construction is solid, and heavy especially after using keyboard controllers for a couple of years. Value for money is excellent

Wow I'm really impressed with this synth it sounds awesome I'm working my way through the presets ...but the Deepmind is all about making your own...im enjoying messing with it recommended synth ...seller and delivery 5 stars , a well made product.

The Deepmind is a fantastic machine. So much for such a low price. Unfortunately after a few weeks quality issues forced me to return for refund. Keyboard issues, software issues. Control issues. Remote iOS did not function & Behringer simply couldn’t help. If it worked perfectly it would be a bargain but all the faults I found in a few weeks were intolerable. Had to return for refund. Hopefully Behringer will perfect the Deepmind. It’s a great machine but it MUST be totally reliable. Update - Had another Deepmind 12 delivered again it was faulty. It would not connect with my PC or iOS. I tried 2 computers & 2 iPads. The LCD screen was also askew. I have given up now. I really looked forward to using the Deepmind based upon the reviews. The Deepmind is a fantastic machine but you pay for what you get. Hardware & software issues are unacceptable.

シンプルなデザインですが、2DCO、1VCF-VCA、3ENV、2LFO、12音ポリフォニック、 モジュレーションマトリックス、FX... この価格帯にしては盛りだくさんの機能を持った アナログシンセサイザーで、ウエーブテーブルやPCM波形などはありません。 最初に注意点を DCO-1には鋸歯状波とPWM可能な矩形波が用意されていますが、DCO-2は50％の矩形波のみです。 PWM、鋸歯状波がないため、他の2VCOのシンセのように鋸歯状波を重ねてシンセベースや ストリングス、ブラスを作る場合は、発音数を犠牲にして、ユニゾンモードでDCO-1の 鋸歯状波を複数重ねる必要があります。発音数は半分以下となりますのでオーソドックスな アナログシンセ音が目的の場合はDeepMind 6より発音数の多い12の方をお勧めしておきます。 一見サブオシレータのようなDCO-2ですが、ピッチは自由に変えられます。 また、DCO-1からSYNCをかけることも出来ます。 SYNCをかけるとDCO-2の音程は強制的にDCO-1の音程と同じになり、DCO-2のピッチ変化は 音程ではなく波形(音色)の変化となります。使いこなせばFM音源のようにオシレーター 自体で様々な波形を合成することができます。 DCOシンセの音はVCOシンセに比べ音が薄く固いという先入観もありますが DeepMindの場合搭載のFX(マルチエフェクト)を併用することで、他のシンセとは比較に ならないくらい図太い音や分厚い音、現代的な新しい音を作ることができます。 最初DCO-2の仕様に戸惑いましたが、アナログシンセの常識を超える幅広い音作りと、 直感的な操作感、暖かいサウンドにすっかり魅了されました。 ただプリセットは1024もあるのに用途不明の音ばかりで、使える音は少ないです。 一応こんな音も作れるんだというオリジナル音色を集めた動画をアップしておきます。 アナログシンセの限界を知っている人ほど驚かれる硬派なシンセだと思います。

il synth è fantastico 100% analogico e a controllo digitale suono leggermente freddo rispetto ad un vintage, ma non vuole esserlo, secondo me a questo prezzo non si trova qualcosa che abbia tutte le possibilità del deepmind, non me lo aspettavo da bheringher

Game changing synth. Absolutely in love with the sounds out of this thing. Build quality is amazing. I feel in love with the Jupiter 8 but in no way could ever afford it. This machine uses internal components modeled after Roland's Juno/Jupiter synths and it sure sounds like it. Can't believe how inexpensive this thing is

Da der erste DeepMind 12 eine Defekte Taste hatte, ging dieser zurück. Nun wie der defekt zustande kam kann mehrere Ursachen haben. Entweder ist was im Fullfilment Center, Spediteur oder gar bei Behringer selber bzw. auf dem Transportweg. Der Support seitens Amazon war gut so wie der von Behringer auch. Die Retoure verlief ohne Probleme und die Rückerstattung ebenso. Die Software für das Gerät läuft auch mit aktuellen Wine Versionen unter Linux mit kleinen Einschränkungen. Es können keine Presets per Drag and Drop hinzugefügt werden. Das Firmware Update war auch nur via Windows/Mac VM möglich. Der DeepMind hat einen schönen Klang und ist sehr vielseitig. Aber eine Bagpipe hört sich darauf schrecklich an, zumindest mit dem Factory Preset "Bagpipe". Das kann die Poly D besser. Das Display wurde von vielen bemängelt, aber ich hab damit keine Probleme. Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Die Seitenteile sind aus Holz und der Rest des Gehäuses ist aus Metall. Man kann auch mehrere DeepMinds über Midi in Poly Chain Modus betreiben. Ich werde mir noch einen DeepMind holen.

Awesome synth for the price! Product came with power cable that works in India. Five stars for the product but amazon needs to know how to handle musical instruments! The box had a footprint on it... Apparently someone had stepped on it. Fortunately there was no damage.
