A look at how to get some classic vintage Juno 106 tones from the Behringer Deepmind 12 by limiting its functionality to replicate the behaviour of the Juno 106 that inspired it.
They're not identical, they're not meant to be, and the DM12 has vast modulation capabilities, FX, extra envelopes, LFOs etc.. so I'm not trying to show how well they match - but if you've got one and you're wondering how to get some classic tones this may help.

0:00 intro
1:50 Overview
4:45 Set-up as 106
7:15 Sawtooth
10:45 Square/Pulse
14:45 Sub
17:30 Noise
18:15 HPF
21:55 VCF
27:00 LFO
27:45 Some Sounds
32:36 Chorus + Pads
Some tips so you don't have to take notes:
1. Open default program (PGM + Compare)
2. Edit LFO - change from mono to poly mode
3. Edit Osc - change reset to ON
4. Edit VCF - velocity sensitivity to 0
Change from LFO2 to LFO1
5. Edit VCA - velocity sensitivity to 0
6. Press VCF and VCF envelope buttons together
7. Use default envelop settings
You’re all set….
When programming:
8. Max LFO 9
9. Always use LFO triangle
10. If using a delay on LFO1 AND PWM use LFO 2 at the same speed as LFO 1
11. Leave 1st 3 sliders on OSC to at 0
12. Always use 24dB mode on the VCF
13. Max Reso 8.5
14. For Juno ish Chorus - use Chorus (not Chorus D)
For 106 I speed 0.6
For 106 II speed 1.4
15. Never use HPF AND Boost together
16. Don’t use the mod matrix or Env 3
17. Add additional FX as you’d do that with a Juno using external gear.
18.Use Poly-6 mode in the poly menu to get that original note stealing effect.

[@benjoray]

29:32 there is a way to make it 6 voice polyphonic. If you press edit under Unison Detune and scroll through the different voice settings you should see “Poly-6” which will limit it to 6 voices.

[@StarskyCarr]

Haha thanks - I found it the day after I uploaded this!! So many options I must have scrolled straight past it. Really wish I’d found it earlier!! Hope you found some of it useful/interesting. Cheers.

[@JoshRichmanDesign]

Does Poly-6 mode on the DM12 effetely use 2 voices per note? Limiting the poly to match the Juno but is the juno using one or two voices per note? Essentially is this still actuate or different from the Juno?@@StarskyCarr

[@StarskyCarr]

@@JoshRichmanDesign It still uses 1 voice per note, as with the 12 voice or 8 voice mode, but just limits the number voices to 6. This gives note stealing like the juno 106, while still limiting to the 2 oscillators per voice. So if you use Osc2 as a sub you're in Juno territory.

[@marcosantacruz9086]

@@JoshRichmanDesign just wanted to add, so others who click on this answer can see, that selecting "unison-2" does indeed use 2 voices per note, which makes them thicker. Options for unison are "unison-1/2/3/4/6/12"

[@salamanteri_]

@@marcosantacruz9086 There is option for Poly-6 and -8 which limits the voices that are used. Unison is different from this.

[@major9991]

By far the BEST detailed video showing a TRUE comparison of the Juno-106 with the Deep mind 12. This is the video that tells us that Behringer has a winner here. We all would love to have the vintage gear, But honestly if the Deepmind 12 has the Roland chip in it for the true filters and can come 97 percent exact of the sounds, that's good enough for me to get those lush chorus tones from the 80's.

[@westeringsun7342]

Thanks brother for all of your hard work. We all so appreciate what you do for the community. Much respect!

I have been waiting for something like this. I got the DM 12D a few months ago and have just been preset surfing because I've just been more focused on songwriting. But I have wanted so bad to kind of dive in and make some vintage tones from scratch. This is such a wonderful lesson, thank you so much! Its such a daunting synth for a novice like myself, and having a roadmap like this is priceless! Tomorrow is my first day of in weeks, I'm going to treat myself to going through all of this.

[@moe4111]

Very well done, thanks!

[@AdamSpade]

I really appreciate these comparisons.

[@longfade]

I've never owned a 106, but I do have the DeepMind 6 and it's an extraordinary achievement on Behringer's part. The menu-diving, such as it is, I thought would be off-putting, but it actually makes total sense when you're building sounds. You are building a sound and think, "Man, I just wish I could assign an ASDR to this parameter" or something, and then you realize it's right there for you. I've found it to be flexible and exciting to program. Also, the build quality is awesome (mine fell down a flight of stairs and still functions perfectly; a little worse for wear cosmetically though), and it feels great to handle. I know I sound like a shill for Behringer, but I think it's just incredible that you can get so much synth for your money. That said, if I were blindfolded, I think would prefer the 106 on a purely sonic level. And as soon as I find one in perfect condition for 500.00, I will buy one. **And thanks for the excellent post, by the way!**

[@davidcole1362]

What a great video, I hope Behringer have watched you sell them a few more thousand DM12’s!! I’ve ordered 1 👍

Nice to see clear contents written for this video! Cool video. Not heard the DeepMind 12 before properly or the 106 really. Great video - one of the clearest synth demos that I have seen, no BS just right! I liked the sound at 9:09 when you played both together! Is that a Model D in the background, an original one or a new one? You mentioned the P6 and OB6 have you demoed those? I'm going to look at your other uploads!

[@chriss4381]

Just listening through my cheap laptop speakers, the Saw comparison definitely shows a bit more "brightness" on the 106, but the Deepmind sounds like the volume is a bit lower as well. Otherwise, I've wanted a 106 for years, so I'm excited to get my Deepmind later this week and achieve similar sounds. Thanks for this comparison.

[@patriciaoudart1508]

Very well job you've done! The accurate comparison between what is comparable. I've a Juno 6 original, so I love this modern one with actual technology. When I play my Juno, 6 not 60! , I enter the sound out in effects racks, sometimes I uses a web cam to register the presets I can't have of course. My practice is sound mapping, fat sounds, so for me all the modern adds on this Juno like is a dream we never realized before as I never had found money, and opportunity to have the 106.

[@Gerdream]

Excellent comparison, thank you!

[@jakobole]

I was also shocked by that chorus similarity - and lol'ed a bit because the moment I thought of TAL's plugin, you brought it up, haha.

[@darrenringer9811]

The only Chorus VST anybody needs. Then for analog HW... the MF-108M Cluster Flux. Man it's too bad those were discontinued.

[@halfdonut6505]

That TAL chorus is something else man. I almost think I overuse it.

[@maval4537]

Watching this video was very revealing to me, thank you a lot! If I, as a non purist keyboardist, consider the fact that the J106 is much harder to get and costs a lot more, and also that the DM12 offers generally a very wide range of sound modulation for a great value, I'm absolutely happy with the DM12. I'm just about to decide if or not to buy one, but I think I just made my decision...

[@eddievanheinous666]

Thanks much for this - the first synth I owned was a 106 (it was stolen =P), so I bought the DM12d in lieu of buying another old 106. I saved the settings at the 6:43 mark as a Juno init patch.

[@lundsweden]

When I bought my Juno 106 in the late 90s, people were still saying it was a crappy DCO synth. But the 106 had something special about the sound (the chorus was part of it). We appreciate it now, Deepmind is not bad at all, I like the 12 voice desktop version personally!

[@lordundhimself1310]

12D 🤘🏿

[@ericMT]

Digitally controlled analog oscillators. A lot of people mistakenly thought it was “Digital Oscillators”. All these years later and the 106 is still beloved by so many. Maybe even more than the vastly superior Jupiter 8 just because of how affordable/common it was.

[@Goettel]

I loved my Juno-6 back in the day (my first synth, unless you count the Casio SK-1). I love my DM-12 today. If you lust after the vintage analogs, that's understandable, but if you have a DM just enjoy the awesome sounds and capabilities and how close it can get to the vintage Juno's at a fraction of todays prices, and much much more beyond; with twice the polyphony (I tend to stick to 12 voice poly, because having a 12 voice analog poly is just gorgeous for pads), a great mod matrix and excellent effects x4. Behringer really did a stellar job on it. These are great days for synths! Now, if only Uli could replace the Synthex I moronically sold decades ago...

I was in the same boat like you,i also have nice midi controllers,but I use them to control my modules only,there is a feeling of immediacy ,when pulling out my DM12 ,and just switch it on and start playing,don't have to reach out for a midi controller all the time,just plug and play.

Many thx for your excellent work! I owned a Juno 6 as my main keyboard in a band in the 1980s and (unfortunately) selled it for a more "modern" keyyboard in the 1990s :( I bought a Deepmind 12D a few weeks ago to get these sounds and with your video I might be able to get them :)

[@andysmith7265]

great pads - really does the Juno justice once you throw the chorus on top. this seems like a great synth for me to leave in my jam space for those spontaneous jam nights where I don't feel like going back to my apt to grab the moog. Great oscillators, 12 note polyphony and effects - and most of all relatively cheap for the great sounds.

From my ears, it sounds like there’s some filtering going on with the deepmind. I hear about the same signal coming from both, despite the higher frequencies being cut on the deepmind. I have one, and I’m not an expert but I’ve heard it be as bright as the Juno. I feel like it could easily produce that sound with tweaks.

what

[@PureAmbientDrone]

I have both of these synths and what it comes down to for me personally is the interface of the Juno 106. There is just something else there for me to be inspired. I really do believe the interface of a synth matters to creative flow. Both are great machines though. Great video as always.

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks. There is something great about an immediate interface. It’s part of what makes the 106 so special... and probably why everyone had one and could handle it enough to always get sensible tones from it. No accidentally knocking the cross mod into spaced out madness!

[@Goettel]

Having a single control per function is great for instant gratification, but it's not so great for flexibility. Almost all the control you have on a Juno-106 is directly available on the DM, and then it just adds a metric shit ton more with minimal menu diving. You can also get two of them new for the price of a single 2nd hand Juno-106. We're spoiled in 2020!

[@Ceedubbya]

Lovely. Well done!

[@justinmerritt3843]

The rate on the chorus of the deep mind on chorus 2 setting needs to be slightly faster and the depth needs to be turned up. That's the only difference. You can clearly hear the Juno 106 modulating, it's chorus effect it's turned up higher than the deep mind

[@_P_M_]

Really great tribute to a sound a many of us fell in love with back in the 80's as our introduction to synths. By the end of your video I was zoning out on the pads so hard my eyes got blurry! 8-o

[@Benjahlove]

I’ve owned several 106’s, a Jx-3p, & a Juno 6 at different times. I own a deepmind and did a similar comparison with my 3P. You can get reeeeaallly close to recreating the sounds of the others on the deepmind. I sold my Juno6 after I got the Tal plug-in though. It’s spot on. The deepmind is close, but it could be a monster with an updated chorus. As you mention in the video, the tal chorus plugin is superb. The deepmind is it’s own thing- poly chord- built in effects- exstensive modulation matrix- !aftertouch!- and polyphony will make it a future classic . I wish behringer had kept the push button patch recall though!, menu diving for presets is fine in the studio, but not so great live! - and the favorites menu isn’t much help-(User hint: if you want the immediacy of being able to turn on/off the chorus-or any effect, assign the wet/dry signal to one of the faders of env. 3 in the mod. Matrix😉-you’re welcome!)

But as I'm a old 62 Grand Mother , and didn't have the money in the 90's to buy synths, I will not sold my Juno! It will stand ready to use sometimes, on dedicated stands in a room for 90's materials, and 95's 2000's computers working with old midi keyboards. I have also a Roland Sh 2000, need some job to sound well, but this mono instrument is already used by orchestral musicians on stage, for Bulgarian or Greek folklore!

TAL UNO-LX is worth checking out too on the iPad or VST plugin, I'm a former Juno 106 owner, and it is VERY close!

[@galifettetv1238]

Brilliant. We need more legend synth emulations by the deepmind. I m sure he can emulate OBx, P5 and CS80

[@Goettel]

Well, the drift parameters get you pretty close to (OB/P5) VCO territory, but the DM's sub is still just a square wave, and the DM's main DCO lacks a mix control for its waveforms. As for the CS80: no, not without the ribbon controller. Get a Hydrasynth plus DM-12 module, and you'll be smiling ; - )

[@PeterWalkerHP16c]

Yep. For a Juno x6x, Behringer - take my money. Also TAL-U-NO-LX is good too.

[@fjfrancois]

Like you mention before, the 106 has a little bit of more bite on the sound, I think I'm going to buy the DM12d, because is cheaper than the Keyboard. Thank you so much for put in your precious time on these videos 👍👍

[@sub-jec-tiv]

If you use the EQ to bring up the upper mids/highs, and do very subtle saturation, you could give the Deepmind that extra bite. With some careful FX tweaking i’m convinced you could get quite close.

[@DaveHoskinsCG]

The waveform is shaped like that because some Bass EQ as been applied to the Oscillator by default, internally.

[@toomuchtoofast4533]

Why anyone would pay over $2k for the original is beyond me. Behringer did a wicked job w this unit.

[@eyeball226]

That rounded shape to the saw is some highpass filtering or AC coupling in the signal path. It might not even be audibly attenuating any frequencies at that point but it still affects the shape. That's also the cause of the shape of the DM12's square. You mention it being due to the way the square is derived from the saw, but that is actually the case the squares in pretty much all VCO and DCO synths. The weird shape is caused by filtering in the signal path. My best guess is it's a difference in the way the highpass is implemented between the two. The Juno highpass switches between fixed filters with different cutoff points, so "off" is likely a true bypass. The DM12 one has a variable cutoff, so even when the HP is at minimum it will be filtering some sub 20Hz frequencies. This won't audibly affect the sound but it will remove DC components from waveforms giving you that appearance of the waves curving towards 0V.

[@45rpm.]

Damnit you made me want to get one!

[@yebwulebdullah]

Great Video! My chorus sounds quite different though, even using the settings from your part 2 video, weird.

[@Owoshima_]

You can also switch from the 4-Pole to the 2-Pole for the VCF. I've found the 2-Pole to give those highs that you were missing when comparing waveforms in the frequency analysis.
