BEHRINGER DEEPMIND 12 DEMO WITH PRESET PATCHES PART 1 ~ Pad, Bass, Organ, Rhodes, etc.

Behringer Deepmind 12 demo. This is an analog polyphonic synthesizer. I just cycle through presets and improvise whatever comes to mind. There's some pads, some basses, some organs, some electric pianos and other kinds of sounds thrown in.

For those curious, here are the titles for some of the music covered in this video: 5:35 Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael 11:58 BWV 777 (measures 33 - 42) - J.S. Bach 12:22 All Blues - Miles Davis 13:46 Blue Monk - Thelonious Monk I think more synth demos should use different kinds of genres like this one does, and not just use the typical bleep-bloops and Vangelis/Van Halen/Stranger Things type covers.

[@Keyboardman88]

I grow weary listening to people demoing a synth and doing nothing but use "spacy sounds". How about some sounds that can be used in ensemble . Strings, horns, etc.

The sounds were great on their own but your talent on the keys and decision to superimpose video really made the demo stand out!

I really dug the voices of the correspondent subtly in the background during the video portions. I mean, once I figured out I wasn't getting RF interference from England a half century ago :)

[@ryanphillips5218]

Me before this demo: eh it's a Behringer and that screen/knob is kind of ugly. I wish it was just sliders. Me after this demo: OK if I dont pay my rent this month I should be able to get one.

[@Dolores5000]

Fantastic!!! That piano patch is sooo surreal and lovely

[@austinzmahname]

I'm going down a rabbit hole of polysynths trying to figure out what I want, and after listening to the Rev2 video and this, you have an amazing recording setup that makes the synths sound so rich and warm. Like, blows other videos out of the water. I was ready to write this one off and now it's a very real contender. Hoping you have a Prologue demo somewhere in here so I can give it another shot.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

This is a truly great and wonderful demo. Thank you very much for giving to the synth community with this magnificent video.

[@onceuponasynth]

You're very welcome and thank you for the kind words!

[@fredscalliet]

The effect section is sublime.

[@graxjpg]

Thanks for the wonderful video! I just ordered this beast and it seems it will handle any and all of the polyphonic sound design ideas a composer could possibly manage, and then some! The presets are obviously not what I bought it for, but you made fine use of them!

[@HTP555]

Thanks for making this demo of the patches. It sounds really amazing!! I almost think I could give up both of my other synths just to have 12 note poly with all of the capabilities this has. But I do love my minibrute for all of it's raw VCO and no menus. And the system 1, it has the SH-101 which does quite well as virtual emulation. And I like what I get out of it whenever I juke around with it, just not as wide of a range as the deepmind though.

[@ewwitsantonio]

Hey, great demo!! You really demonstrated how nice this instrument can sound. Your musical touch is appreciated :)

Thank you, glad someone picked up on those tunes :)

[@chiefbucknell]

Yeah, the jazz surprised me-great stuff. Nice playing!

[@philkop]

Was this the stuff starting around 5:35? I'd love to hear the orginal. These were definitely my favorite bits in the demo. Really great to hear a synth doing some non "synthy" stuff.

[@night_speed]

I've been on the fence about buying one of these for months now. Comparing prices, functionality, sound, form factor etc. against some pretty heavy hitters like the ASM Hydrasynth, Modal Argon8, Moog Matriarch. All very different and at different price points but this video helped me decide and I'd like to thank you. I just ordered it and can't wait till it gets here.

[@julescastel]

i know this video is five years old now, but i'd love to hear a full take of Stardust from you using the preset at 5:35 :)

[@skyreadersociety6183]

The digital FX seem to extend it sonically quite a lot - but you can still hear the analog engine. I was first a bit dissapointed (no FM, ringmod, no multimode filter), but it seems there are lot's of possibilities. Was good that they not just to replicated a Juno 106.

[@onceuponasynth]

Yeah I like to think of the Deepmind FX as part of the synthesis engine rather than something to add at the end. So in that way there's a lot of sculpting possibilities.

[@CarillonAudioVid]

Are filter sweeps and other modulations smooth on this? I am torn between this and a Rev 2. My Mopho SE has some stepping on filter sweeps and the LFO modulation isn't always smooth, so I'm afraid the REV 2 may be the same. If you had to choose DM12 or REV2, which is more musical? Thanks for the vids!🎹🎹🎹

[@robertsimpson5801]

9:30 That is beautiful.

[@fnartch]

Hey, i really like all of your videos about DM12. Question : i wonder tonget the DM6, the wifi is it necessary for you?

[@onceuponasynth]

I don't use the WIFI, I don't think it's necessary. If you like using iPad for editing then it can come in handy, but definitely not required.

[@ProbeRoket]

how do you do a factory preset restore??

[@dadduorp]

I just got mine a couple of days ago and LOVE IT! Which patches are you playing from 4:16 to 5:32 and 11:30 to 11:59? They sound great.

[@onceuponasynth]

It's a pretty awesome synth! At 4:16 it's A-8, at 11:30 it's A-23 . (you can read the patch number on the top-left of the deepmind's screen if you squint really hard :) ).

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Careful, you’re going subject yourself to the ire of the retro synth owners who “purchased a CS-80 an Oberheim OB-Xa with his allowance and was standing at the end of the conveyor belt of the assembly line waiting for them to finish the last solder and got unit number 0000001 and played it before anyone knew how to spell “synth” and knows for sure that the Deepmind sounds “NOTHING, you hear me NOTHING Like an actual analog retro synth!!!!!” and they can prove it by all time and money they put into keeping up with broken parts and keeping their precious retro synths in tune and the precious retro synth’s finicky behavior” so there’s no way this $800 synth can be of any real worth or use” is what they have to tell themselves. I don’t know what’s worse wine snobs or synth snobs.

[@johnnyguitar7921]

, 10:00 lovely, man, lovely... and when the sample conversation starts,,, pfff...btw, you think a Roland JV 80 is comparable to this? (since it is sample based i think i can get all sorts of sounds?),,, i miss my MICRON,,, will go VST route maybe as deepmind12 kind of expensive,, should have bought the alesis ION nwhen i had the chance back in the day

[@T0bh]

Deepmind is pretty cheap though

[@wayfaerer320]

That patch that starts at 3:21 - are you using the arpeggiator there? Or is that the sequencer? By the way, they really nailed that Juno sound with that preset - sounds incredible.

[@onceuponasynth]

Yup it sounds really good. That patch was using an arpeggiator.

[@mitchdresen5202]

I have a question in regards of the output of this synth. Are you using a 1/4 TRS Y cable? Balanced or unbalanced?

[@graxjpg]

A balanced stereo connection would have 5 connectors at least...

[@artier6676]

Look like a real live version of the Sylenth plugin.

[@cristiannegron5068]

Do you happen to remember what patch is 5:35? Loved the video and playing keep up the videos !

[@cristiannegron5068]

Anyone?

[@jordanwillis2027]

A-10

[@jeshkam]

What's the name of the first preset? It sounds like D-50's "soundtrack".

[@binershock]

Holy crap!!! Question about the iPad app- do you have to join an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network to use the iPad app? In other words, you cannot be connected to your home Wi-Fi network whilst also controlling your beautiful BEHRINGER DEEP MIND SOUND MACHINE

[@onceuponasynth]

Yeah that's correct. The Deepmind has to go into "Access Point" mode, and then you connect to that access point from the iPad (so you can't browse the net at that point).

[@binershock]

One thing you can do to get around that is use iPad's camera connection kit with Apple USB Ethernet to get to the internet. It's a $70 solution :( but the iPad will negotiate both connections and look for a working gateway. I don't have a deepmind but I work a lot on designing wifi gadgets. Not 100% on this but it only depends on how the DM's wifi chip is configured and if that conflicts with how your Internet router is willing to talk over the Ethernet connection.

[@triplebacon1]

I gotta say it seems that it doesn't have it's own filter voice %-( not a major issue of sorts; - )

[@williamevans4413]

What is the baroque song at 11:58? Am dying to know!

[@onceuponasynth]

It's a small extract from Bach's two-part invention #6 in E (BWV 777). That specific part occurs somewhere towards the end. I play it much slower in this vid.

[@williamevans4413]

Thanks! The patch you chose works so well with that passage. It is quite haunting. Great Stardust too! Thank you for this beautiful video.

[@ChruthFabian]

U had me at stardust

[@wayfaerer320]

I have a request - can you show how to create the main repeating sequence in "Love on a Real Train" on the Deepmind 12? How to lay down the sequence using the control sequencer and how to shape the sound. I would just love to hear the Deepmind 12 do "Love on a Real Train"...

[@hostnik777]

Great playing and use of the sounds, and it clearly has a lot of great sounds, but the whole thing just has a hazy/noisy sound to me... like tape degradation but without the lush saturation that tape gives. Just like an old worn out tape that you can't make fresh again. I'm sure many people will love it though, and I hope someone makes great music with it.

[@triplebacon1]

jmacatx maybe it is just the audio source through,not the synth so much? ;-)

[@chrisstrobel3439]

jmacatx Hmmmm I'm not hearing it. Having owned a lot of classic poly synths (including Junos and Jupiters) over 30 years, the DM12 sounds great to me. Only thing that bugs me is the four octaves.

[@HTP555]

What would you say is a good range in octaves? 5-6 ? I figured 4 would be good enough for me. I only have 2 octaves on my other synths, a system 1 and a minibrute. I've never been much of a classic piano player, more just a lover of synth sounds and creating them. But with 12 note poly I figured this synth's keyboard would suffice and be perfect for controlling my other's too.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

ubiquitous Yes then 4 octaves will probably be fine for you 👍 I chose the keyboard version myself even though I'm a pianist as its more convienant to have a keyboard right there for programming, and its only a hundred bucks more than the desktop version 😁🎹

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

The DM12 can be noisy when you’re messing about with the onboard preamps and comp etc, thankfully the gate is good. It it does give you loads of headroom to achieve some really natural mic’d cab sounds. I’ve had many an excellent slap bass funk sounds out of mine, seriously funky.
