The best Gran Turismo menu music ever

[@leakso1]

That drummer is so tight and slick. Awsome beats. Great video.

[@steveg219]

Killer band!!

[@goldphinga]

Steve Greenberg cheers Steve!

[@drkam6]

Amazing. This synth sounds great! This is the new polyphonic Mini, the P5 of the 2010's, and it will be cheap! Behringer is preparing a desktop version. If they could expand the options of larger size keyboards - 5 or 6 octaves, in limited quantities - this little synth could take over the world.

[@brendanmcgillicuddymusic130]

That rhodes piano patch better be a preset, cause I want that badly!

[@scottcupp8129]

It is. Bank B #33

[@graxjpg]

It’s easy to make with a basic one saw wave if you just use the envelopes right!

[@neilloughran4437]

Great refreshing demo of a synth being played in a live musical context! Not enough of these kinds of videos around. :) Nice one Dan.

[@goldphinga]

Thanks Neil, glad you like it!

[@scottcupp8129]

I jammed along on my DM12

[@scottcupp8129]

Great sounding band and showcase for this amazing synthesizer

[@deandavis325]

That was dope, the band is tight and it's great to see the DM12 in a live setting (FINALLY) It just makes me want this synth even more now !!!

[@goldphinga]

Dean Davis thanks Dean!

[@etpslick100]

Dean Davis you're right Dean. And since they came out with the rackmount version; I want one even MORE now to add to my setup!😎🎶

[@scottcupp8129]

@@goldphinga MAN this sounds great. @ 1:28 what bank and preset is that? I love it!

[@DoublSniperexe]

@@etpslick100 ordered mine today, i know 4 years late but still. :D

[@10hz]

Finally the synth presented in a proper location by a real player! No Dubstep, EDM-Preset-hopping-BS. Thanks a lot!

[@StarfieldBound]

Thumbs up for the jazzy fusion

[@dadduorp]

That drummer just kills it!

[@leeknivek]

As soon as I heard how nice that kit sounded at the beginning I knew I’d be in for a good time

[@Musicology1975]

Best synth for the price. NO NEED TO BE RICH TO HAVE A DECENT SYNTH.

[@jvburnes]

Probably the best synth demo I've ever seen because it's in use as part of a fantastic and super tight band.

[@GoRY69R]

That drumkit was mic'd up really nicley

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

I get excited today when I see a live acoustic drummer....so refreshing. And you didn't mute down drums deep in compression....well done musician and recording engineer.

[@Philigrane5993]

Très bon ensemble musical dont j'apprécie le jeu sobre et précis . Mes félicitations au talentueux compositeur et à chaque musicien. Un régal.

[@audioartisan]

You guys Rock. Awesome Synth Jam! :D

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

00:26 Ever thought about making the wood cheeks red? I know it's because of the lighting and the fact that the WB is off, but what the heck - It actually looks pretty nice!

[@willb2520]

Good Lord. Behringer? I mean THE Behringer?

[@namine080210]

Now THAT was tight man, WOW!

[@mima85]

This is phuckin' koooooooooooooooool :-)

[@tobytruman33]

Awesome playing, synth and track! Those drums really sound great!

[@GONZOFAM7]

Nice tight band. Excellent playing. I've been wondering about the DM6 (I know this is a 12). I've only seen soundscape, blade runner and preset videos. This sealed the deal. I've got to get one. Thanks.

[@BonasBuden]

I'm afraid that the drummer stole this show. Solid performance from all of you guys, hats off.

[@synergy3608]

Daaamn!!! You know it's awesome when you just can't sit still! Love the tune and love the synth.

[@rhopsutorius]

Tastefull playing by all and a drummer that kicks ass...!

[@fabzeman2614]

Awesome ! I own a Deepmind 12 and I wish I could use it as JD73 does. And the other musicians are pretty good too. Thank you for bringing jazz fusion to those who don't know this music yet.

[@JayTheLane]

Great demo.. I had that Burgera amp, great pedal platform. Great guitar solo.

[@950kid]

Lovely stuff...Excellent Demonstration of this amazing synth and would definitely love hear more from this band they're right on point👍🏾

[@donaldpriola1807]

Dangerously funky.

[@MikePensini]

Nice one guys :)

[@jvburnes]

great band. wow that guitarist is gifted

[@Philipplus]

Nice demo. It is nice to see that the DM12 will sit well in a band... but I'm still waiting to see more on the CV control features to check if it can be the "master control" of a more modular CV controlled rig.

[@DivKid]

there's no CV output. So you'd have to MIDI to CV with a module.

[@mzeale]

Sweetness! I agree, a great jam and a great recording with live drum integrity killing the jazz vibe. Awesome job gents.

[@Dailabsynth1]

Super perfomance and very-very nice fusion track.

[@PingPong85]

AWESOME DEMO! Seriously great showcase of the DM12. Sounds like its not going to be a replacement to any bass machine but definitely great sonic sounds achieved.

[@goldphinga]

PingPong85 thanks man! time to make a bass demo methinks. It's a killer bass machine.

[@bd594]

I was sold 12 videos ago. Now its time for a release date

[@agroeiletzinsumosagropecua7578]

Great music Dan ! A huge from Buenos Aires, Argentina / MARTIN

[@DaleNorth]

GOD this was tight. Everyone holding it down. NICE

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Wow. Super powerful recording of a great band. And look at that, for under $2000.00 a 12 voice synth for each hand! That is one tiny cost for a pro band keyboardist.

[@leonardbarron8684]

reminds me of Steely Dan

[@RetroPlus]

That drummer was incredible

[@sumchi3690]

Great band guys! DM 12s never sounded better. Nice playing.

[@caresseofficial6741]

this is awesome, love that it loooks like an awesome tight band, that casually is sponsored by behringer. NICE

[@revelationsoundstudio]

Awesome sounds from the keyboard, the song has a good feel and hook. Would love to buy the album of this band.

[@rawsfx]

gimme that desk/rack version and fast, it's sounds so lovely 80's like

[@marcusaguillar3184]

5:08min sounds like Smeared Graffiti from Final Fight 3. Cool music!

[@elzak040]

Great band, really nice music and super demo! Thanx!!

[@LucaPR0]

That was absurd. Crazy good

[@DavidBoura]

02:06 Two different models?

[@Philipplus]

Possibly two pre-production units at slightly different stages of testing/prototyping.

[@piporitto4282]

There is also the rack-mountable desktop version...I hope they will release both soon !! ! ! ! www.gearslutz.com/board/12048757-post2888.html

[@vincewizz8534]

Always so groovy Dan!!!!

[@goldphinga]

Vince Wizz cheers Vince!

[@WhoIsBack87]

Guys I already love this synth...PLEASE MAKE ALSO THE DESKTOP VERSION ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! ! Would be perfect for studio use..

[@my2sons8791]

Wow, thank you. An overall great performance 😊

[@ronthescone]

This isn't live. They're not playing in my phone right now. Clearly a recording. Pffft

[@MrDexterSr]

Is the Rhodes sound a preset? If so can someone help me find it on my deepmind 12?

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

...and you even let the guitarist solo! ....

[@scenario27]

Wow, that Drummer!

[@Reel9Video]

Yep

[@Dave-hp4vh]

...and I just bought one on Amazon. Nice synth.

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

Great demo ! Nice presets , I think this synths real power lies elsewhere though, too many funky Moogs and Arps that will eat it for breakfast.

[@marike1100]

Not only will there be no breakfast eating, this song would be 100% impossible to play on a nearly every Moog or Arp synth ever made! You do realize that don't you?

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

Markus Arike I'm not a player but a listener, because they are mostly mono ?

[@marike1100]

H4NDCRAFTED Yes, they are monosynths incapable of playing any chords whatsoever. They can be funky, just not clav or synth EP funky.

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

Markus Arike Polymoog ?

[@marike1100]

Which is why I said "nearly". But Polymoog might be expensive and kind of rare. I think.

[@jeffrobinson2882]

man what a groove guys keep it up!

[@ReginatorNet]

Shiiiiiiiiit - that's hot!

[@goldphinga]

Reginator glad you enjoyed it!

[@merlinworzel5445]

What a band, OMG totally love this!

[@FeatherGlow1]

91 people have poor taste in music.

[@FancyTailAquatics]

Yeah, None of the patches he is using are preset, I promise out of 1000 it seemed. I would buy these!

[@monkeyxx]

ohhh yeahhhhh ;-D

[@silverqumera]

This is da best!

[@kaitsu9608]

Drummer is amazing, very fun jam

[@kaitsu9608]

Deepmind is the synth to have, specially in its price range

[@BarrieGledden]

Nice one Dan! Sounds fat...

[@goldphinga]

Barrie Gledden thanks chief!! :)

[@Psychlist1972]

Great!

[@goldphinga]

Thanks Pete!

[@MarkLindell]

You must get the same recommendations as me.

[@KaeRZed]

Great demo and.... great track !! If needed you are proving the need of a DeepMind24 with a wider keyboard and bitimbrality... :o)

[@Rouwiinator]

that drummer has some mean groove. I mean a really bad groove as in so damn good it will make your head bop against your will.

[@illustriouschin]

Sounds like the good ol' days of Nintendo 64.

[@nickturner4150]

I can see Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch and Tony Disco from Mystery Men busting some moves to this.

[@pthomas36]

Came here from a Rhodes Mk8 link (indirectly). Dan and the boys are killing this!! That drummer is top notch to be sure, and the whole band is TIGHT!! Loved it!

[@JayTheLane]

I had that Bugera guitar amp. Great clean channel and a wonderful pedal platform. Dirty channel was garbage with my strat. Weighed a ton so I sold it and got a smaller Vox.

[@marksangster6690]

Please can you tell me the settings to get that Pianet sound at the top of the track? I just bought a DM 12D and would love to get that sound. Cheers!

[@KazmaHD]

That's not fair, homie is playing the Deepmind 24

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

You should make a deepmind 24 or a poly 12, like the prophet 10! I want a dual keyboard monster synth!

[@oliver4953]

Awesome video, awesome music! This video is already a few years old, so I wonder if anybody is going to reply to my question: Which presets / sounds are you using on the Deepmind in this video? Which sounds do you use for those soloing on the keys at 04:18 etc.?

[@KuijperRob]

good performance but the Behringer sounds a bit thin and too clean..nice synth I guess.

[@Kuronoichig01]

Albums with this jazzy fire sound?

[@PAtrickGold]

When will it land ? Out here they expect another 26 weeks. Maybe around then I will have saved for 2 ;-)

[@caseyhenderson7661]

Guitar solo, best climax - smoothed out with a rhodes finish - I need a cigarette.

[@dobinhan2010]

where can I buy this DM keyboard pls ?

[@Keyboardman88]

The keys could have been more pronounced in the mix.

[@MarkAnthony5150]

Damm you guys are amazing...just gr8 👍 🎶 🎵

[@dennismossinkoff7993]

Mr. Uli Behringer I thank you !!!!! for makin my first ever real!!! super synth!!!!!! it is wonderbox with a super sound pallet

[@regmonmusic]

Very good!

[@silvermyth2119]

Well done! :)

[@goldphinga]

Silver Myth thanks, appreciate it!

[@lacourlavante]

Damn, Behringer is killing the game! I'm sold, let me demo one!

[@synthartist69]

Sounds good but needs 61 keys not 49.... makes playing too limited, at least for the style of music I normally play. And no, do not want to midi it to a 61 key controller. Want to be able to just take to a gig or studio and play it by itself if needed. Other than that, it's okay. Hopefully it is not noisy like all the other Behringer equipment I have used.

[@synthartist69]

too limited for me, for my style of play.... 61 keys are a must. Maybe it's because I suck and need more keys than a great player like JD73. If you noticed, he is not playing left handed notes most of time, because the low notes are not there to play. When he does need more keys he is having to play both keyboards at the same time. So, 49 keys are ok for some people I guess, if you want to use two keyboards at once or if you have a bass player and you want to play with one hand. In this case, I call that limited.. lol

[@Skijumptoes]

Awesome, great sound. Band is tight.

[@alainszyller615]

actually he doesn t play one Deep Mind 12 but two

[@alainszyller615]

Deep Mind 24 ?

[@Goettel]

@@alainszyller615 For ~€1300 that's certainly an option.

[@kiskadar69]

Yes, and if the DM12 were multitimbal, one would be enough (plus a MIDI keyboard controller).

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Players gonna play 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Chuck-zf7sl]

This man stacked a deep mind 12 on a deep mind 12

[@raregrooveatoz1928]

12.とうとう買ってしまいました！さいこうです

[@griffgoldsteinreference]

Just wish the Keybed was more sturdy, honestly the only reason I got the Deepmind 12D instead. Otherwise an incredible synth

[@darrenringer9811]

Curious if you found a controller that sends Note Off Velocity and Aftertouch... the ones I'm seeing cost as much as the DM12 itself :P

[@purplezoid1]

Smokin drummer ouch!

[@frankie5671]

Car show room please 😏

[@olafmolenveld4985]

in this video the low end bass patch sounds sloppy, not good. Hopefully its the programming??

[@goldphinga]

Hey Olaf. Already answered on gearslutz but yeah it wasn't meant to be a dedicated bass patch as such, it's the main poly sound that i used to play bass in this instance, in fact I even rolled bass off using the HPF so as not to interfere with the real bass frequency wise. The DM12 puts out a helluva lot of low end, especially with the bass boost on which I really dig.

[@iwillnevergetone5]
