Essential Information About the Behringer DEEPMIND 12X Synthesizer
- 12 analog voices with 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, and 3 envelopes per voice for a rich and expressive sound palette.
- 4 effects engines by TC Electronic and Klark Teknik offering over 30 algorithms (reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, multiband distortion).
- Modulation matrix with 8 channels (19 sources, over 130 destinations) including effects parameters.
- Modern control: 32-step control sequencer, arpeggiator, USB/MIDI, remote control, 37-key keyboard with aftertouch.
A Modern Analog Polyphonic Synth in the Tradition of Great Classics
Designed to combine analog warmth with a contemporary workflow, the Behringer "DEEPMIND 12X" draws inspiration from the era of legendary polyphonic synths while integrating a studio-quality effects section and deep modulation. Its 37-key keyboard format makes it a powerful and portable instrument, equally at home in the studio or on stage.
For Whom, Styles, and Contexts?
Ideal for intermediate to expert producers and keyboardists, the DEEPMIND 12X excels in electro, techno, synthwave, pop, ambient, and film music. Its 12-voice polyphony and unison modes allow for lush pads, massive basses, and cutting leads, while the arpeggiator, sequencer, and remote control facilitate live performances and studio sound exploration.
Features and Innovations
Its architecture combines two analog oscillators per voice (PWM, sync, noise), a 12/24 dB resonant low-pass filter per voice, and a global high-pass filter to precisely sculpt the spectrum. Modulation is at the heart of the engine: two LFOs per voice with 7 waveforms, three ADSR envelopes, and an 8-channel matrix linking 19 sources to over 130 destinations, including effects. For playability and performance, an advanced arpeggiator, a 32-step control sequencer (adjustable glide, MIDI sync), unison/polyphonic modes, polyphonic portamento, and chord memories expand creativity. The 4 effects engines by TC Electronic/Klark Teknik provide "studio-ready" finishing touches. The interface combines 26 sliders, an LCD screen, and control from iPad/PC/Mac via USB or MIDI for a smooth workflow.
