Deepmind Vintage VCM Soundset - 128 Custom Patches for Behringer Deepmind

[@danmaduff8919]

That BRS Vangelis Blade Runner patch alone justifies cost of the entire pack!

[@nathanricker1]

I’m not much of a preset pack guy as I tend to make patches on a specific use case basis Bu these are so damn good. They make a synth I got for 500 bucks (that already sounded like it could cost three or four times more) sound like a synth that is pointless to put a price on, because your never getting rid of it. Brava, good sir! I say braaavvvaaaa! The DeepMind mod matrix sources and destination list seems especially suited to this kind of approach and, thanks to the screen everyone loves to crap on, all the information to reverse engineer all these patches, and make something similar yourself, is easily understood. Thanks again, my dude. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks for the kind words LS! Glad you are enjoying the patches! Cheers, Jason

First couple months with DM 12 , and have added a few Patch Libs. Nothing is close to overall quality and usefulness of Vintage VCM !! Will keep me using /learning for much time ahead, YET hoping for an equally cool follow-on Soundset 🙏🏻 Many thanks Jason C. ✌🏻

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the patches, and appreciate the note! Cheers, Jason

Just found this via a comment you posted on the DM12 Facebook page.... Had not realised you were a pro programmer (DOH) and that you've have done so much in depth sound development on many synths... I have a DM12 and a Rev 2, so I'm going to make some time this weekend and listen to both your patch banks for these synths.... Have subbed straight away...

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks! yeah, I have been doing research and patch development for vintage voice modeling for a few years... have written up lots of info on the topic on the www.VoiceComponentModeling.com website... and have a bunch of free patches / templates available on my PresetPatch profile: www.PresetPatch.com/user/CreativeSpiral Cheers, Jason

[@80sman80]

@@CreativeSpiral hi Jason, hadn't quite clicked it was you. I'll check out your patches tomorrow. You've done massive work on synth patch sound construction. You certainly know your stuff.

[@mlbellino]

Listened to your video and when I heard "No Quarter" I was sold. Went over and bought the patches at the bargain price. I never finished your video and have been blasting the Phat12 since. These are the best patches I've had the pleasure to use period. Now I don't know which to choose? Outstanding hard work on your part. Thanks again for this!

[@RonaldFigura]

Surely the No Quater patch requires a rotary speaker effect to be spot on.

[@rarecordings5934]

@@RonaldFigura There's one on the deepmind I believe

[@tomphillpotts]

Nice work, just purchased, great stuff. They sound amazing. My favorite so far is the Soft 70s Synth Lead. Got pretty lost in playing that.

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks Tom! Hope you enjoy the sounds!

[@pmsrodrigues]

These sound great. Just purchased. And your work really deserves to be supported.

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks Pedro! Appreciate it. Glad you're enjoying the patches! Cheers, Jason

[@ricknemrecords]

One word...Dayum!

[@ricknemrecords]

Thanks Jason....my Deepmind sounds like a whole new keyboard....

[@BRAPO]

Incredible soundset, changed the whole character of the Deepmind 12. Would love for you to produce another bank

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks Brian! Glad you’re enjoying the sounds!

[@PC0067]

Je n'ai pas ce synthé mais joli travail bravo.

[@synthartist69]

Very cool...if I ever buy a Deepmind again I will purchase these...great work

[@CreativeSpiral]

Thanks @synthartist69! Just checked out your KZbin channel again... so many great vids on there!! Hard to beat the value proposition of DeepMind. BTW... the latest version of Arturia's Jupiter VST (version 4, which was just recently released) has some voice modeling controls built in... thought you might be interested to know... it sounds great when you dial things in!... maybe not as majestic as the OGs, but very good sound.

[@alanbeadle6884]

Fantastic set of presets, best I have bought for the Deepmind. The techniques used give the sounds a great warmth I haven't heard from this synth before. Thanks!

[@CreativeSpiral]

Awesome. Thanks for the note, Alan! Glad you're enjoying the patches.

[@Disaster78]

Man I’m buying it. It is just great!

[@johnscarratt7783]

Absolutely brilliant sounds! Love it!

[@nycimagery]

Just got this soundset for my DM-12. Truly amazing work! I'm very pleased! Have you considered offering soundsets for the Korg Wavestate made from your recording of samples of classic VCO synths? The Korg Wavestate is a very popular instrument right now. I'm sure such soundsets would sell very well for you. Cheers!

[@nycimagery]

This is a great demo video regarding samples from vintage synths that can be loaded into the Wavestate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmeToaGcpLCVi9k

[@antonhosinsky3090]

Damn, what is that song at 01:34? Heard it in my teenage days on a cassete tape somebody gave me but the songs were not identified and I just fell in love with that progression.

[@CreativeSpiral]

Rush "Subdivisions" from their Signals album.

[@Syntox]

Pretty damn incredible

[@seb4242]

Really enjoying these patches on my DeepMind 6 - full of character, and so versatile 👍 When I bought my DM6 I wasn't so convinced by the presets, thought about returning it. Your patch bank changed everything, the DM6 is a keeper! BTW. Just used your A-47 BRS HornSec patch on a recent DAWless jam… kzbin.info/www/bejne/r52ZfHh9rJuLprs

[@peteblay86]

Would you consider offering a discount for those that have already bought both your VCM soundsets for the Rev2?

[@CreativeSpiral]

Yeah, you bet... sent you a PM to your email.

[@peteblay86]

@@CreativeSpiral thanks Jason, much appreciated. To anyone else considering purchasing any of Jason’s sound banks, I can highly recommend them, the Prophet Rev2 banks are great

[@RAF-vq7yu]

So is the Deep Mind an analogue device? Because it is how it is advertised. Is a VCO technique analogue or digital?

[@CreativeSpiral]

The Deepmind is *mostly analog* in terms of sound engine. The oscillators are DCOs - which are digitally controlled analog oscillators - as opposed to VCOs, which are analog/voltage controlled analog oscillators. DCOs have the advantage of digital control clock timing which results in perfect tuning for each oscillator and each voice... which was a needed solution back in the early 80s when synth manufacturers were starting to offer high polyphony voice counts on their analog synths. (there was an issue back then that there was too much tuning variance per voice when using dozens of VCOs over multiple voices and multiple octaves) So DCOs "solved" that problem... HOWEVER - they are perfect in their tuning, and that perfection takes away from vintage character. So these VCM methods add a small amount of character back into the osc performance over multiple voices, as well as adding variance to filter and envelopes (the envelopes benefit greatly from a little variance, if you want a more vintage or analog acoustic sound) If you're interested in much more detailed info, I've written up lots on the VoiceComponentModeling.com website, and there are more articles here: www.presetpatch.com/articles/voice-component-modeling

[@barrakingbeatz7794]

Deepmind or polybrute?

[@nobbystyles4807]

hold on..... is that a vst version of the deepmind 12 hes got there or is it an editor? ive been looking for an editor for storing patches on my windows pc but nothing on the bheringer site. theres one guy whos made a paid one but looking for an official product

[@CreativeSpiral]

Yeah, Behringer has an application for Windows (they have for past couple years)... Go to Behringer downloads and search for Deepmind. www.behringer.com/downloads.html

[@CreativeSpiral]

Sorry, not sure my previous post was clear... It's just an editor/librarian interface... not a VST. I've got the 12 Rack Unit, as pictured in most of the demo. Cheers, J

[@RobertMRyder]

How do you manage your Deepmind patches? I'm on PC, and my biggest complaint about the Deepmind is Behringer did not develop a real librarian for it. Accordingly, I rarely use it.

[@CreativeSpiral]

The Behringer Deepmind application on Windows works pretty well for librarian needs. (www.behringer.com/downloads.html) You can navigate through the eight banks on DM, plus have as many extra user banks of patches stored on your computers as you want, and instantly be able to audition the sounds. The only thing I wish for in the app was if you could directly control the DM from a 3rd party midi controller, from a routing in app... but I just workaround by routing through daw.

[@michaelmoore1697]

when your midi controller cost more than your analog polysynth...

[@CreativeSpiral]

Hah - true. Though I use it for several hardware and VST synths... it gets around. The S61mk2 is a great feeling keybed, and interface for NI ecosystem.

[@michaelmoore1697]

what program are you using for your oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer?

[@CreativeSpiral]

@@michaelmoore1697 Ableton live, and some M4L devices -JO Oscilloscope

[@michaelmoore1697]

@@CreativeSpiral I'm using MOscilloscope with Logic, but there is not way to reverse the polarity. I have some synths that have inverted sawtooths. I would like to flip the screen to compare them.

Hi CS! What do you think of the Behringer approach to VCM on the UBXa?? It's mentioned here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roauiWiHd8SrZ8k

[@CreativeSpiral]

Saw that.. hard to tell exactly what their implementation methodology is, and the values listed. The concept of having multiple different, selectable voice variance lookup tables is something I’ve been advocating for though, and looks like that’s the direction. When it comes out I plan on picking one up and will investigate further… I’m hoping they are using stable, curated offsets to parameters, and not introducing a bunch of randomness or drifting motion, which is unrealistic and produces a more artificial sound.

[@decimal1815]

@@CreativeSpiral Yes, I wondered that too as they mention "drift" in the atrophe profiles. Hope they release the manual soon and lift the NDAs!
