Why You Need 2 Behringer Deepmind 12's The Ultimate Deepmind 24

In a meeting of Deepminds, special guest Gaz Williams brings his Deepmind 12D to meet my Deepmind 12 Keyboard with some interesting and quite epic results!

[@impurfekt]

Sesame Street called. They want you guys to be regulars.

[@getjervis]

Do they want us back?

[@impurfekt]

@@getjervis Everyone involved in the previous incident has been sacked. So yes!

[@getjervis]

@@impurfekt excellent news!

[@Syntox]

Criminally Underrated Synth.

[@getjervis]

You're not wrong!

[@jdpower6360]

?? Most reviewed analog synthesizer of the last couple years.

[@PeresD]

Definitely agree with that statement.

[@ralphhammond5289]

I recently picked up a second Deepmind 12 and was playing around with 24 voices. It is extraordinary what you get for the cost.

[@getjervis]

Totally! I seems to sit well on any mix too

[@alcidesduverge]

Yeah! it would be nice to see more of the deepmind 24 💪🏽, this video was too short

[@getjervis]

Then I'll have to make it happen!

[@jonathanredman8497]

Very interesting. You're like The Hairy Bikers of the synth world. (That's a compliment)

[@getjervis]

Hahahaha I love the Hairy Bikers! Glad you enjoyed the feature..

[@boogiefunkproductions2368]

Deepmind is totally underrated. I currently own 8 analog synths , 1 DX7, and a Roland Integra 7. The Deepmind is probably the most versitle followed by the DX7. Great video BTW!

[@getjervis]

Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed the video! It really is a fine Synthesiser.. I'm always happily surprised with what get out of it...keep enjoying!

[@subs4794]

What a coincidence, the DX7 and the Integra are my favorite analog synths 🤪

[@innerspacerace9196]

I need 10 behringer deepmind 12’s as I am quite insane

[@automaticgainsay]

Can I just say that I love the both of you?

[@getjervis]

Hahaha..Yes you can! This is a feeling that I know, is reciprocated.. miss you! 🤗

[@SoundAuthor]

Any friend of Gaz is a friend of mine! ❤️

[@screamengine]

Can WW3 hang on till my 12D is installed in the bunker? Never been so tense waiting on an order lol!!!

[@getjervis]

@@screamengine hahah yeah.. I think that’s a good idea.. let’s cancel the idea of WW3 and play synths outside 🌼🙌🙏

[@arcadeuk]

Why only a few seconds of video after you enabled the polychain? 😢

[@getjervis]

I know... we promised to get back together and fill that gap.. but TSR19 happened and I got busy with Thomann... ill have to doba sound only follow up..!

[@longfade]

I have the 6 and the 12, both KB versions. It's always a revelation seeing presentations like this; depressing to realize how little I still know, but always inspirational as well. The Deepmind is really an extraordinary achievement.

[@getjervis]

Thanks Zach, it's appreciated... But don't lose heart... It's name is extremely apt, it is very deep... The main thing is to enjoy your time with it! 🤓

[@deauvillevrienden]

Watch this and learn ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaCbc2l-f5eWnrM

[@blipblip88]

Quite an underrated synth, and an unbeatable price-even today. The insane onboard modulation control, and insaner (is that a word? LOL) collection of effects can keep one busy for a long, long, long time. I love this crazy, fun, affordable, great-sounding synth!

[@getjervis]

Haha yes indeed! And insaner is a word now! 🙌✨

[@cvzsmit]

Note that sequencer can sequence notes as well - just use the mod-matric and route the sequences to OSC pitch. Magic stuff.

[@getjervis]

That certainly is :) Thanks for sharing!

[@HazeAnderson]

6:12 good gawd that is crunchy! I'd like to think Gaz was playing Rush's Subdivisions right there. Glad you guys made this vid, it's wacky!

[@getjervis]

Hahahaha well spotted! He's been trying to get me into Rush for the 30 years I've known him.... he slipped it in, under my radar..

[@KozmykJ]

@@getjervis It's only been about 28 years for me, though of course it seems longer ... 😜

[@getjervis]

[@drstupid1]

Great video. Looks like a load of fun!!

[@getjervis]

[@elbeardo]

Like a scene from classic Dr Who! Great video... more of Gaz too please!

[@getjervis]

Thanks elbeardo.. I'm sure there will be more

Hahahahayes indeed... little technique I like to call 'hello sailor'!

[@kek23k]

Love it, both the sounds and the facial expressions! :)

[@getjervis]

Hahah I think this video is mainly about our facial expressions 😂

[@apislapis]

Completely forgot about the DM 12D, seeing Gaz using one and noticing that it's within my budget (and it'll fit in my studio) I think I'll put the Minilogue XD on hold for now. Can use my VC340 via MIDI. It'll look like a DM 6 on steroids. Much obliged for your share Jervis.

[@getjervis]

My pleasure glad you enjoyed the feature.. The deepmind is an epic synth... Always Sounds great in a mix... The Minilogue XD is on my want list though.... As is the VS340!

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

Loved the Chipmunks nomenclature, guys!🤗👍

[@SynthsandSounds]

That 48 OSC unison - marvellous!

[@stephenjames4937]

"Nomenclature nomenclature nomenclature!" I was laughing like a drain. You chaps are the Chappers & the Captain of your postcode.

[@getjervis]

Why thank you sir!

[@stephenjames4937]

@@getjervis You're welcome. It reminded me of the Goon Show, which can only be a good thing.

[@getjervis]

@@stephenjames4937 Wow! What high praise..thank you.. Gaz and I have been silly together for a long time

[@Screaming-Trees]

I suppose you need some kind of a passive mixer to make all this work? To mix the outputs of the two synths before you hit the AD stage in your computer?

[@getjervis]

Yes indeed! you'll need to take the outputs of both synths to enjoy all the oscillators!

[@ingolf7411]

The Deepmind 12 was my re-entrance into synths since nearly 20 years. Bought for about € 550,- in near-mint condition. Compared to my last powerful synth, a Roland JP8000, a real gem. A better sound, a better UI and that for a remarkable less prize. The JP8000 was bought new and I've paid about DM 3.500,-. When I sold the JP8000 the best deal was to sell it for about DM 1.400,-. A big loss of money 🤨. I sold the DM12 about 1 year ago for € 500,- (in further near-mint condition). I guess a good deal for both 😉. The reason was the fan noise of the DM12. Very silent but the noise bothered me (Ok, compared to the fan noises of my former Thinkpads (or even MacBooks) the fan noise is extremely low). Nevertheless the Deepmind 12 was fun and a pretty good synthesiser.

[@InkyDaCaT]

Brilliant😂 can't wait to see Gaz at da event lol...l met him at sonic state gig..they were truly "all stars"😉

[@kevingamache1512]

I have a dm6 and will be getting the 12d so yeah the deepmind 18 soon on tap and only 1100 🇺🇸 Boo yaa

[@getjervis]

Perfect combo for sure! Enjoy 😁

[@kevingamache1512]

Love these sounds some even sounded like sweet ol' 8 bit without the sore throat. Then it goes all 70/80s warpy. My analogs now, having had all my gear stolen 7 years ago. are volca keys, korg minilogue and the deepmind 6. For tiny fun a stylophone. These tones and even more the possibilities are so much fun. I love my digitals i cant lie. D50 (now d05?) Wavestation, SY33, XW-P1 some others. However the organically visceral sounds of good analog are truly superb. More often i feel digital is an attempt to create analog from a different direction. Thats valid none the less if you have access to genuine analog without resorting to bank robbery or dicey ponzi scemes and thanks to companies like Behringer we do. I say go for it. Crossing the ocean in a 10 footer? Hell yeah me lads (and lasses) Now smile and start paddlin'.

[@getjervis]

Hahah yes a little 8but is good for you! Some tasty synths you have there, covering both sides.. I do so like the D50 and have been tempted by the boutique version.. Love my Wavestation SR.. Sorry to hear about the loss but as you point out, we are living in fine times for synthesizers!

[@DaveBessell]

It's not clear from the video whether you got them to poly chain so extra voices on the keyboard overflowed into the Deepmind module? Or was it just a case of stacking the extra 12 voices?

[@getjervis]

Polychain does what it says.. it chains polyphony together..therefore each unit remains the intact with one unit fully controlling the other. So you get all 24 notes and all parameters controlled by one synth and you will need to connect the audio output of any chained synth to bathe in the glory of their combined sound!

[@shawnaebbeson7882]

I just got the Deepmind-12 delivered today. I am very excited about it and it is a very deep synth, for sure. I was going to question how the Poly-Chain worked, but it looks like it was answered, and I appreciate it :) The Poly-Chain works the same way as it does on the Korg Minilogue XD synths. I also have the Minilogue XD and the Minilogue XD Module when when chained together, they are basically an 8-voice synth (each Minilogue is a 4-voice unit). The Minilogue XD is easier to program from the front panel than the DM-12, but the DM-12 is MUCH deeper of a synth in most categories :) I may look at the Deepmind-12 Desktop unit in the near future now :) Thank you for a great video.

[@getjervis]

So glad you enjoyed it! I hope you're loving your DM12 too... what a great synth!

[@EpicWinz]

Wow, Brian Blessed is looking great for his age!

[@getjervis]

And never in better form... Gordon's alive!

[@christoroppolo8742]

I was wondering if as DeepMind12 experts now you could take some time to show us how to update the deep mind twelve not with a pc but the iOS editor . Which I have done one update with on an iPad Air .i live in a very mountainous rural area with horrible WiFi speeds so using a computer is totally out of the question here . No ground line either...But iOS lets me upload so I’m hoping to use the editor to update the DeepMind12 it worked that one time but now it just gets to ten % and just sits there. Any idea what’s up? My town is a tech vacuum .also some of the keys are cracking have your had this issue. Behringer never responds to anything on line or by phone . I also have a 2018 iPad Pro loaded-but no one covers this in depth ...Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶☮️
