Thank you, sincerely. Just bought one of these. This is a wonderful introduction/tutorial for a novice like me. I'm 53 but felt I was 10 watching and listening to your skill.
haha...Maybe...or by that time, Roland could have turned the tables on Behringer and do an ACB V2 version of the DM12 to play on your 2028 iPhone (or plug into your head Chip)
I’m reading some of the comments.It blows my mind how closed minded and lack of knowledge most so called synth artists can be. You’re patches and videos really show how wonderful this analog synth is. If the so called synth artist want out of the box presets then they should not even look at this type of synth.Presets are great ! Sometimes I use them myself. But when I build a patch from scratch it is very rewarding! It’s work to create a really good patch on any synth.Digital or analog. Everybody has an opinion and that’s fine. I bet if this synth had a different name on it other than Behringer they would be drooling 🤤
I can buy any synth I want. I've got a DSI, a Kronos, and a very nice modular, etc. Guess what I just bought? Yep - a Deepmind. It's pretty cool and Behringer has come a very long way in fixing the quality problems they had years ago.
Honestly I think people tend to stick with the brands they know, it's just how it is. I am not the biggest fan of behringer but it's hard for me not to like this synth, it sounds incredible.
Mine arrives today. These videos certainly show that teh DM12 can live in a different "sonic space" than many of my other synths ... different overall sound character, etc.
I've just bought Vol1 & 2 pack, and I'm glad I did. I've been programming synth as a hobbyst for the past 30 yrs, so I know a little about substractive synthesis, and I must say your programming skills are way beyond eveyone in this market. Sir you are gifted ! Your banks are simply fantastic. They really do justice to the DM12 revealing its true sonic potential. Everything sounds great and remains playable. Thank you also for sharing your knowledge and tricks, this is quite uncommon among top tier professionnal sound designers.
Just purchased the bundled patches, they sound amazing! In many cases much more usable for me than the original factory patches. Great synth, awesome patches! Thank you GEOSynth!
100% this video made me purchase this synth ..... for the sounds you get and for the price these sell for it's an easy sell. Ordered the 12D. Thanks so much - Great demo! 👍
great stuff, you're the first to feedback to me, but then again, only released them yesterday :). I'm glad you like them, means a lot to me, spurs me on...any that stand out to you?
H-7 Bladerunner of course (which I must admit to having tweaked just a tiny bit to suit my personal preference). Any CS-80 (or GX-1) based patch will always sound good. ;-) I'd like something like the Roland VP330 Human Voice patch...but I'm not sure that the DM12 has everything it takes to do that ?
Hi,I am thinking of ordering DM12,but read here and there for some quality issues people were having .Did you have any at all?I really like that synth,sounds fantastic.
Not had a problem myself. there's been some people who have had the ribbon cable not connected properly inside, but pushing it back in solves it. Clacky keys is just that the keyed is slightly too forward...they're just teething issues for some, expect its been sorted out by now, but as I said, no problem for me.
No problems with mine either. There were some bugs at first (hanging notes when changing patches) because I received it with the previous firmware installed from the factory. But they went away as soon as I updated it to the latest one.
there is not much to say.... tremendous synth!!!! im also love their clones and bought the rd 8 vc 340 but deepmind and neutron which are their own synths are the best to me. eventho the vc 340 is amazing as well. just waiting for the poly d at the moment. i had all those classics in the 90's , but sold them for a butter and bread, did stop making music... decided to start again 3years ago and now im not able to buy all those claasic like my jupiter 8, jupiter 60 juno 106, 808 and so on with a family and 3 kids. behringer just gives me a chance to make music exactly like the 90's with my classics....sometimes its even more fun. so thank you uli
Wicked sounds man, I think some of these patches will cure my CS-80 desires. Beautiful stuff! This is the video that has sold me on the DM12. Would love to hear more synthetic bell like, clamorous tones, ring mod types of sounds. Some of the medieval instrument sounds you've created are just magnificent, reminds me of Vangelis and and stuff off of Tangerine Dreams's Logos album.
I have done some Bell like tones/patches and recorded the rest of the patches, but didn't realise the batteries ran outt in both my Cameras, so have got to do it again...Doh! if they decided to add a Ring Mod in the FX, then that would open up a lot of possibilities, not just bell/metallic sounds, but vocal like tones. I have decided though, that with this and the OB6, I'm not buying vintage gear anymore.
GEOSynths that's some practical thinking. The OB6 is at the moment my dream synth, but the DM12 is within financial range. I've got a OBXA that I purchased years ago that's never been repaired, it passes sound, but it's not really functioning. Old stuff just breaks. But yea, this is the best sounding demo I've heard of this machine. Once I get one, I'll look around for more of your future sound sets, definately will purchase this one.
Yeah, it's a pain in the ass getting old gear fixed, spent loads on it over the years, not doing it anymore. Thanks for the compliment on the patches, I spent many hours on them and all created from initialised patch.
i simply love the sound of this synth in the right hands. It is so organic sounding and capable of eliciting such a range of emotions from me I can't get enough. Thanks for the showcase!
In your opinion 6 voices are just good enough for most sounds on the Deepmind? Considering that I'm not going to play some crazy chords with both hands ;-). And mostly I'm doing studio work instead of live playing.
Yes, for leads, bass etc, then no problem. I did stack 2 voices for some pads, so this would only give you 3 notes for chords, but many are single voice...and there's 256 to choose from!
positively surprised after passing through this vid of GEOSynths-man, thanx for taking your time for us ! I would buy the DM12 for dreamy stuff, pads, arpeggio etc...beside a Matrixbrute or Oberheim Two Voice Pro or....or.....or......damn' what a great Synth time compared to few years ago
however your patches have so much power....never thought this baby sounds so universe-ish!! you probably created a desaster to my budget plannings....thank you for that :))
GEOSynths I'd say at any price point. I was ready to plunk down for a Prophet-6 module, but am (at least from demo media) actually digging this thing a smidge more. The coming module version will be the ticket for me👍🎹
GeoSynth, how about some Ozric Tentacles style arps, atmospheres, waterfalls and bubbles? I've searched high and low for these type of patches but to no avail. Really a shame as ED Wynne is a synth wizard with over 3 decades of amazing music. I think a lot of folks would really be interested.
Chris Hinson nobody ever posts vids of trippy synth playing. Its all so sensible haha! Need some Tim Blake, Hillage or Hawkwindy Ozric sounds. We all love it, its just barely acknowledged.
Dudley Baker you guys are the only ones I’ve even seen talk about this. I’ve been trying to get the pothead pixies out of my deepmind12 since I bought it.. I mostly try to make patches covering Steve Hillage bits by ear with it and my Model D. I know Ed uses a novation poly that is similar in architecture to the dm, and I see him walk over and hit one key and it spirals into those insane bubbly vortexs. Most of my patches I make are in attempt to copy Tim Blake or Steve Hillage until I can understand why they do what they do the way they do.
Well speaking as a long-time keyboardist and producer, I’m constantly using pads. They are essential, and duh-a polysynth such as this is meant for pads. So, I’m not sure what you’re getting at there.
I was ready to buy a Prophet 6. Honestly this synthesizer might not have the tambre of the high priced synths but seems to sound more interesting to me.
I think this baby sounds great. It does sound a little different than the Moogs, but that is a good thing to me. I prefer the midrangey sounds. The Moog is great for Basses, but lacking in other area, in my mere opinion. The DSI OB6 is sweet, but out of my price range. This has some nice character of its own. It was a brilliant move for Behringer to buy T.C. Electronics, the FX sound great, especially the reverbs. I believe this synth will find its way on many recordings, especially soundtracks, I can't wait to buy one! I think this is way more than a copycat synth, but will be a classic in its own right, I am looking forward to the Deepmind OB when it comes out. Perhaps they will even do a take on the CS80.
Estou interessado em leads, Poly, Brass, Keys, órgãos, Bass e Pads , não quero arpejos ou sequências, vocês conseguem me vender um pacote só com os sons que preciso? Quantos sons seriam e o valor? Pode ser no formato .syx para abrir no editor do DEEPMIND?
Hello, I've been studying this synth for a while now and seriously interested in getting one, only question I have that no one can answer yet is if I can do microtuning on it? That is tuning individual keys to quarter notes! To be able to play middle eastern microtonal scales. If not is there any trick to do that? Thanks!
Thanks, you know I’ve never thought of the DM12 sounding like Roland, I’ve had Juno’s and have made 7 banks for the DM12 and it has its own sound, yes it’s architecture and layout are similar to old juno’s but not the sound…imo.
Is it possible to add single patches or just complete banks? ...by using programs like Bome SendSX it seems like the individual patch is sending but i can't find it in the DM12. I thought it would repleace the patch by sending but looks like it's not even in any bank... It's kind a strange problem. I sent the patch form the DM12 to my computer and repleaced the whole Bank by one of yours. Now I like to add my own single patch from my computer back to the DM12, but it feels like the DM12 only take whole Banks. Can you held me? What do i miss?
Hi, yes, I've programmed pretty much each Patch to be changed by using the Mod Wheel and Aftertouch (press harder on the keys) this way you can get sound variations with expression, but never losing the main sound...I always programme this way.
Oh yeah, you can assign loads of things to the Mod wheel and multiple things at the same time, so you may have the cut off of the Filter reduced when moving the Mod Wheel forward, while it also increases the depth of the Reverb for example...it's very well thought out.
Tanner Lester it is.. You need the editor to get to all the parameters in real time though.. Jdxi is a beast! Synth engine is more capable, the effects are not.
This or a DSI rev2, I can't decide. What hinders me from buying Behringer is that the products are faulty, so they say. Is that a myth? You managed to create some magical pads!
there was a time when people had issues with some of their gear, but that was years ago...I've had lots of their stuff and has worked fine for many years. The dm12 is really the best thing out there at this price point.
I just wish this thing did splits. If I could do two patches on it, I would have zero hesitation. But I try to be efficient with my synths for live performances. Each one should take up space in relationship to how much functionality it has in my setup, so a huge keyboard like this that I can only do one patch with at a time feels excessive. Maybe I will wait for the desktop version.
Behringer has a tabletop prototype already, they just need to know if the community would buy it. I encourage you to find them on social media and let them know you're interested!
Sry my comment didn't bring anything useful to this topic, i really wished i could get DM12 it for pads (waiting so long)but little disappointed and frustrated- it doesnt sound like i need for my production and this programmer here is one of the best synth designers i know. I guess the DM12 sound is not the right colour i'm looking for, i guess i'm more of the Oberheim guy.
You can play it through your amp (probably roll off the bass some to be safe) to hear it mono. Or play through some monitors to hear it stereo. It has stereo outputs and a 1/4" headphone jack in the back, so you can also just jam out with some headphones on. It's incredibly fun to play mono through an amp... or run it through some of your guitar pedals and see what it does.
Hey! I'm pretty new to synthesizers.. Do you think I should get a hardware synth like this? Or a software synth eg. Massive or sylenth or...? I have played piano in a few years btw... Any answers appreciated:))
Software can certainly sound good, but can be a tedious experience with using the Mouse, dealing with cpu issues, latency etc. The DeepMind 12 is at such a good price these days, it's hard not to recommend it. Personally though, I much prefer hardware, I grew up with it, so I'm obviously biased, but in all honesty, it's a much more enjoyable experience with just the instrument, headphones and no distractions.
They're both fine Synths to be honest, more going on in the Oscillator section for the PEAK, the FX sounds great, but there's a lot more FX on the DM12, plus it has 4 extra voices. They're both great machines for making patches on, but like you say, there's an Editor for the DM12 which I used for arranging Patches and for the Control Sequencer, but the Synth is easy to use and Muscle memory sets in pretty quick ans the relveant menu parameters have their own sections. Try them out if you can, sound is a personal taste really...
Yeah i hope you made the right decision. The nord seems to honestly be for those who don’t know what they need and are willing to spend a lot on it. Haven’t seen anyone ever rave about it in my daily internet browsing.
honestly,the only thing that's stopping me from seriously considering this fellow is it's not a goofy looking 1980's keytar. really I'd like one that I could throw over a shoulder. half the price of that Roland thingy half the cables sounds just as good
Hello I have some problem uploading the "Bonus Bank" to the Deepmind software. Instead no problem at all with the main Deeper Vol 1 bank. Can you help please?
GEOSynths Thank you, but is mandatory it should be put on bank G? Just using drag and drop with the program sofware? I was able tu put the main Deeper Vol on a new bank and then I moved it to bank A.
I was one of the first to get a DM12, so I decided to put them in to Bank G as it was the furthest away, it was only later I found out that patches were duplicated in Bank A. Originally, the Deeper Vol 1 was just 128 Patches, but I'd made many others, plus variants and was going to keep them for Vol 2...then I decided to give them away free with the main Bank about a month or so later. Drag and Drop works with the main bank, but not the Bonus as Behringer changed the SYSEX values.
Just sorry to bother, but can I drag the bank on bank G? Or it's impossible? And so how can I do it? I did see your video but I work with a PC (Window7) I can't figure it out another way apart the Deepmind software. Maybe with the individual programs sounds, if you can give me.
I'm interested in leads, Poly, Brass, Keys, org, Bass and Pads, I don't want arpeggios or sequences, can you guys sell me a pack with just the kids I need? How many children would it be and the value? Can it be in .syx format to open any DEEPMIND editor?
Hi, it’s just me that makes the Patches. I make a Bank with a variety of sounds as some love Pads, others love Arps. I have no way of organising and selling individuals sounds and it just wouldn’t be financially worthwhile for me to do as I do this for a living, pay taxes etc. It generally takes me a month to make a Bank and I only charge $29 for them, that’s not a lot I don’t think for the time and effort. Thanks, you will find in the bundle 640 patches, as there’s 2 bonus Banks with lots of Pads.
I had a Tetra, well 2 of them actually, before I got a Prophet 08, so can talk about the sound. it's very flexible in terms of modulation, you can create all manner of sounds, but for me the overall sound wasn't that pleasing. the filter that was used in those is quite weak and a bit sterile, but that's just my own opinion. I sold the Prophet 08 as I wasn't using it, but for me the DM12 is one of the best Synths to come out for ages, so if it was a choice...I'd get the DM12...Just sounds better, very flexible and of course, it has 12 voices compared to 4.
:D hey thanks! Understood that for a pro like you, dm12 is better than Mopho x4. However, do you think it's still better for a first synth? I'm not experienced with analog. So accessible/better user interface is also a consideration
I'd still say get the dm12, it's much better for bass, Pads and leads in my opinion. if you want lots of synthesis, then maybe a mono like the Sub37, Dominion 1 or something by Analogue Solutions. For poly though, considering features, price, then the DM12 is the best out there.
Hi, yes it does, the sound engine is the same, just fewer notes on some Patches that use Unison 2 Voice, though I did come up with a way to thicken the sound without sacrificing notes in Deeper Vol 2.
I went all out Behringer in the early 2000s on a PA system. Looked cool but it sounded like shit. I still have the shit after taste of Behringer. But if I close my eyes and listen to this video, I would seriously be interested in this synth.
Attention! After watching this video, I bought the sounds and found that I didn't get the sounds that are shown in the video. I wrote to the seller twice, but never received an answer.
it seems that all patches have a basic tone that makes them similar, I think it's because the filter that is still very nice. The sounds seem different, but there are some sonic characteristics that make all sounds too flattened into a spectrum of frequencies. The synth is new, powerful and precise, but I could recognize the sound of it even now in the midst of many, and I do not like this thing
This seems to be a great synth. But I can't understand why they use such a shitty screen, when high res colour screens are so cheap now and also cheap to drive/control. I have a Korg M-50 and it has the same problem - great synth, shit UI. At least the Korg has the excuse of being a decade old or more.
Thank you, sincerely. Just bought one of these. This is a wonderful introduction/tutorial for a novice like me. I'm 53 but felt I was 10 watching and listening to your skill.
me as well
ten years from now, everyone is going to be looking for this keyboard and feeling sorry they didn't get it when it was easy
haha...Maybe...or by that time, Roland could have turned the tables on Behringer and do an ACB V2 version of the DM12 to play on your 2028 iPhone (or plug into your head Chip)
GEOSynths Lolo lol I’ll
I was thinking the same thing. It sounds amazing and I think we all know it’s because of the wood panels😆😆😆😆😆😆 I’m gettin a 6 before summer 2020
Syntox , hopefully it will still work
Heh! Glad I got one.
I’m reading some of the comments.It blows my mind how closed minded and lack of knowledge most so called synth artists can be. You’re patches and videos really show how wonderful this analog synth is.

I bet if this synth had a different name on it other than Behringer they would be drooling 🤤
Isn't that the whole idea of getting a synth vs. a keyboard? Having fun creating your own sound, or trying to recreate someone else's?
I can buy any synth I want. I've got a DSI, a Kronos, and a very nice modular, etc. Guess what I just bought? Yep - a Deepmind. It's pretty cool and Behringer has come a very long way in fixing the quality problems they had years ago.
@@ericjohnson1811 old guard snobs can't understand that Behringer products aren't the same today as 15 years ago lol.
Honestly I think people tend to stick with the brands they know, it's just how it is. I am not the biggest fan of behringer but it's hard for me not to like this synth, it sounds incredible.
Retro Plus yes most people when given evidence that their idea of reality is leading them astray they choose to ignore it.
Mine arrives today. These videos certainly show that teh DM12 can live in a different "sonic space" than many of my other synths ... different overall sound character, etc.
It's a great Synth, you'll enjoy it.

@@GEOSynths Hello Jamie, thx for asking. Sure you can quote me on your website. My pleasure.
After seeing positive reviews on this Synth throughout many videos on the deepmind 12 I am more convinced to buy this over the studiologic Sledge
Man oh man... where do i begin?? So happy i came across this
26:29 so buttery and dreamy this patch.
almost Ulrich Schnauss
Just purchased the bundled patches, they sound amazing! In many cases much more usable for me than the original factory patches. Great synth, awesome patches! Thank you GEOSynth!
Thanks for that, glad you like them :)
100% this video made me purchase this synth ..... for the sounds you get and for the price these sell for it's an easy sell. Ordered the 12D. Thanks so much - Great demo! 👍
I will give you the greatest compliment I know to give-
There were moments in this demo in which I was reminded of wc olo garb.
Killer patches man...!
This brings the fun and dreaming back to playing.
The bass arpeggiation at 27:29 is amazing.
Just bought the patch set. Thank you GEOSynths. Worth every penny. Behringer should have included those as preset bank H.
great stuff, you're the first to feedback to me, but then again, only released them yesterday :). I'm glad you like them, means a lot to me, spurs me on...any that stand out to you?
H-7 Bladerunner of course (which I must admit to having tweaked just a tiny bit to suit my personal preference).

Man the first patch Vangelis stile, love it 😍 0:00
Mostruoso! Tutti i pad, le texture e gli arpeggi mi fanno venire i brividi. Più ascolto e più lo voglio!
Getting mine tomorrow (upgrade from the Prophet 10, which still works good). These are great patches. Thanks.
i simply love the sound of this synth in the right hands. It is so organic sounding and capable of eliciting such a range of emotions from me I can't get enough.
Thanks for the showcase!
These make me even more excited to get my DM12. First thing I'll be doing is buying and loading these patches.
thanks Matt, it really is one of the best Synths to come out for years...and I've owned lots!
I'm going to buy the Sound set as soon as the Deepmind 6 is available. Yes Deepmind 6, it' not a mistake!
Yeah, will work with it, no problem...I'm quite interested in the DM6 myself, would give me 18 voices...yum!
In your opinion 6 voices are just good enough for most sounds on the Deepmind? Considering that I'm not going to play some crazy chords with both hands ;-). And mostly I'm doing studio work instead of live playing.
Yes, for leads, bass etc, then no problem. I did stack 2 voices for some pads, so this would only give you 3 notes for chords, but many are single voice...and there's 256 to choose from!

however your patches have so much power....never thought this baby sounds so universe-ish!! you probably created a desaster to my budget plannings....thank you for that :))
No problem...Glad I could help :). One of the best Synths to come out for a while at this price point.

Exactly why I bought this :-)) pads, strings and arps....
I wanna see a teardown and review of internal build and parts.
Theses patches are gnarly.

I absolutely love my DM12. It is a great instrument, at a surreal value. What is there not to love?
Er, if you don't like analog synths, everything?
Good key action and nice sounds you made
Going be buying one soon, listening to these patches like I can use this on that!! Daydreaming
I love these vids with the deepmind 12
Finally a demo that doesn't focus on a bunch of mindless pad sounds that are rarely used by any live keyboardist!! Thank you!!
jrush54 you don’t think people use pads live?
Well speaking as a long-time keyboardist and producer, I’m constantly using pads. They are essential, and duh-a polysynth such as this is meant for pads. So, I’m not sure what you’re getting at there.
best value in synths
Very nice! It sounds a little like a Prophet 12 but different overall. I like the pads!
So, I wouldn't be completely surprised if MIDAS had you do some patches on a future prototype, if they haven't before. 👍
They better :)
Nice usable expressive sounds 😁
well done and much better than the original presets! thumbs up!
"Glistening GEO" is so good
I was ready to buy a Prophet 6. Honestly this synthesizer might not have the tambre of the high priced synths but seems to sound more interesting to me.
11.45 screams Fripp and Eno albums from the 70s / Frippertronics. So nice.
Wow. That patch at 18:48.
How did you make the one that starts around 28:00? Love that sound
On that heaven piano patch can you stack sounds on this synth? gr8 demo tone playing all.. Ty friend..
10:22 Yes!!!
great pads
Well done!!!
This is DM12 at its best at 12:31 and on.
I think this baby sounds great. It does sound a little different than the Moogs, but that is a good thing to me. I prefer the midrangey sounds.

It was a brilliant move for Behringer to buy T.C. Electronics, the FX sound great, especially the reverbs. I believe this synth will find its way on many recordings, especially soundtracks, I can't wait to buy one! I think this is way more than a copycat synth, but will be a classic in its own right, I am looking forward to the Deepmind OB when it comes out. Perhaps they will even do a take on the CS80.
Joseph Wright moogs are monophonic. This is poly. Comparing the two does not make sense.
Wow. Thats a looot of patches man :D how long have you been working on these? awesome! I want one sooo bad.
cheers, these probably took me a week to do, as theres a lot of modulation going on and balancing the FX.
Sounds good . I have a Kronos 2 but looking at this or the MOOG SUB 37 to use with my Kronos 2 88key.
Very good Demo! Greetings by ZPA +FSF (me)
Joie Hinton as well.
Mellotron and moog patches?
Tron meets Bladerunner at 4:30 and the shizz goes down starting at 18:00 ;-)
are the effects on-board?
Estou interessado em leads, Poly, Brass, Keys, órgãos, Bass e Pads , não quero arpejos ou sequências, vocês conseguem me vender um pacote só com os sons que preciso? Quantos sons seriam e o valor? Pode ser no formato .syx para abrir no editor do DEEPMIND?
Hello, I've been studying this synth for a while now and seriously interested in getting one, only question I have that no one can answer yet is if I can do microtuning on it? That is tuning individual keys to quarter notes! To be able to play middle eastern microtonal scales. If not is there any trick to do that? Thanks!
That Fart patch at 12:06 is dense.
Great synth, if you want that Roland-ish sound. If are you looking for a Prophet/OB sound, DM12 is not the best choice.
Thanks, you know I’ve never thought of the DM12 sounding like Roland, I’ve had Juno’s and have made 7 banks for the DM12 and it has its own sound, yes it’s architecture and layout are similar to old juno’s but not the sound…imo.
Isnt that Parsifal at 17:50?
Is it possible to add single patches or just complete banks?
...by using programs like Bome SendSX it seems like the individual patch is sending but i can't find it in the DM12.
I thought it would repleace the patch by sending but looks like it's not even in any bank... It's kind a strange problem. I sent the patch form the DM12 to my computer and repleaced the whole Bank by one of yours. Now I like to add my own single patch from my computer back to the DM12, but it feels like the DM12 only take whole Banks. Can you held me? What do i miss?
great synth, but a big problem: if you want to create and record your sound, you will necessarily overwrite a factory sound. Too bad ....
very nice!
I'm not very knowledgeable on synths but I assume for every patch, the mod wheel already has something assigned to it for each one?
Hi, yes, I've programmed pretty much each Patch to be changed by using the Mod Wheel and Aftertouch (press harder on the keys) this way you can get sound variations with expression, but never losing the main sound...I always programme this way.
GEOSynths ah ok. I assumed they all were each already individual assigned but you actually programmed them. Cool thanks
Oh yeah, you can assign loads of things to the Mod wheel and multiple things at the same time, so you may have the cut off of the Filter reduced when moving the Mod Wheel forward, while it also increases the depth of the Reverb for example...it's very well thought out.
GEOSynths wow very nice. I have the Roland jd-xi but I'm not sure it's capable of that kind of depth. It's not as 'deep'
Tanner Lester it is.. You need the editor to get to all the parameters in real time though.. Jdxi is a beast! Synth engine is more capable, the effects are not.
This or a DSI rev2, I can't decide. What hinders me from buying Behringer is that the products are faulty, so they say. Is that a myth? You managed to create some magical pads!
there was a time when people had issues with some of their gear, but that was years ago...I've had lots of their stuff and has worked fine for many years. The dm12 is really the best thing out there at this price point.
Thank you for sharing your experience
I just wish this thing did splits. If I could do two patches on it, I would have zero hesitation. But I try to be efficient with my synths for live performances. Each one should take up space in relationship to how much functionality it has in my setup, so a huge keyboard like this that I can only do one patch with at a time feels excessive. Maybe I will wait for the desktop version.
Behringer has a tabletop prototype already, they just need to know if the community would buy it. I encourage you to find them on social media and let them know you're interested!
I bought the tabletop and it's great for me :-))
I'd personally be wanting a minimum of a 5 octave keyboard for doing splits...not very good on this small keyboard.
Excellent video, --deleted-- offtopic
Really, why?
Sry my comment didn't bring anything useful to this topic, i really wished i could get DM12 it for pads (waiting so long)but little disappointed and frustrated- it doesnt sound like i need for my production and this programmer here is one of the best synth designers i know. I guess the DM12 sound is not the right colour i'm looking for, i guess i'm more of the Oberheim guy.
I want one of these to play around with. I'm a guitar player what would i need for a synth to hear it just some monitors?
You can play it through your amp (probably roll off the bass some to be safe) to hear it mono. Or play through some monitors to hear it stereo. It has stereo outputs and a 1/4" headphone jack in the back, so you can also just jam out with some headphones on. It's incredibly fun to play mono through an amp... or run it through some of your guitar pedals and see what it does.
Hey! I'm pretty new to synthesizers.. Do you think I should get a hardware synth like this? Or a software synth eg. Massive or sylenth or...? I have played piano in a few years btw... Any answers appreciated:))
Software can certainly sound good, but can be a tedious experience with using the Mouse, dealing with cpu issues, latency etc. The DeepMind 12 is at such a good price these days, it's hard not to recommend it. Personally though, I much prefer hardware, I grew up with it, so I'm obviously biased, but in all honesty, it's a much more enjoyable experience with just the instrument, headphones and no distractions.
@@GEOSynths ok! Do you know if there are any differences in the 12d deskrop module, apart from the modwheel and keys?
Yeah, that's the only difference...but the keyboard version does have Aftertouch, which I used a lot in my Patches (press harder on the keys)
@@GEOSynthsOk, thank you!:)
Phantastisch
Hey are they suitable for the DM6 aswell?
Thanks and bets regards
Yes, but I do use 2 voices per note for most of the sounds, so you’ll only get 3 notes on them. Sound wise, it’s the same Synth
Very versatile synth, even factory presents are totally over drenched in FX which spoil it
behringer dm12d or novation peak? currently leaning towards the dm12d as it has an editor
They're both fine Synths to be honest, more going on in the Oscillator section for the PEAK, the FX sounds great, but there's a lot more FX on the DM12, plus it has 4 extra voices. They're both great machines for making patches on, but like you say, there's an Editor for the DM12 which I used for arranging Patches and for the Control Sequencer, but the Synth is easy to use and Muscle memory sets in pretty quick ans the relveant menu parameters have their own sections. Try them out if you can, sound is a personal taste really...
I'm looking for opinions and recommendations... Nord Lead A1 or Deepmind 12?
The deepmind is a lot more flexible and programmable than a A1... For a half price
Yeah i hope you made the right decision. The nord seems to honestly be for those who don’t know what they need and are willing to spend a lot on it. Haven’t seen anyone ever rave about it in my daily internet browsing.
honestly,the only thing that's stopping me from seriously considering this fellow is it's not a goofy looking 1980's keytar. really I'd like one that I could throw over a shoulder. half the price of that Roland thingy half the cables sounds just as good
For the money, it's the best thing out there...
Just buy an old POLY800 it has the point's for a guitar strap and they're cheap.
Hello I have some problem uploading the "Bonus Bank" to the Deepmind software. Instead no problem at all with the main Deeper Vol 1 bank. Can you help please?
JH Drummer it goes in to Bank G
GEOSynths Thank you, but is mandatory it should be put on bank G? Just using drag and drop with the program sofware? I was able tu put the main Deeper Vol on a new bank and then I moved it to bank A.
I was one of the first to get a DM12, so I decided to put them in to Bank G as it was the furthest away, it was only later I found out that patches were duplicated in Bank A. Originally, the Deeper Vol 1 was just 128 Patches, but I'd made many others, plus variants and was going to keep them for Vol 2...then I decided to give them away free with the main Bank about a month or so later. Drag and Drop works with the main bank, but not the Bonus as Behringer changed the SYSEX values.
Just sorry to bother, but can I drag the bank on bank G? Or it's impossible? And so how can I do it? I did see your video but I work with a PC (Window7) I can't figure it out another way apart the Deepmind software. Maybe with the individual programs sounds, if you can give me.
The Bonus Bank should just load into Bank G?
I'm interested in leads, Poly, Brass, Keys, org, Bass and Pads, I don't want arpeggios or sequences, can you guys sell me a pack with just the kids I need? How many children would it be and the value? Can it be in .syx format to open any DEEPMIND editor?
Hi, it’s just me that makes the Patches. I make a Bank with a variety of sounds as some love Pads, others love Arps. I have no way of organising and selling individuals sounds and it just wouldn’t be financially worthwhile for me to do as I do this for a living, pay taxes etc. It generally takes me a month to make a Bank and I only charge $29 for them, that’s not a lot I don’t think for the time and effort. Thanks, you will find in the bundle 640 patches, as there’s 2 bonus Banks with lots of Pads.
@@GEOSynths tanks
Where is de demo for patch 1 to 17 ?
I always have my favorite patches in bank g, can I save this patches in A ?
hi, what do you think of Mopho x4 compared to this? I'm considering getting either Mopho x4 or this as my first analog
I had a Tetra, well 2 of them actually, before I got a Prophet 08, so can talk about the sound. it's very flexible in terms of modulation, you can create all manner of sounds, but for me the overall sound wasn't that pleasing. the filter that was used in those is quite weak and a bit sterile, but that's just my own opinion. I sold the Prophet 08 as I wasn't using it, but for me the DM12 is one of the best Synths to come out for ages, so if it was a choice...I'd get the DM12...Just sounds better, very flexible and of course, it has 12 voices compared to 4.
:D hey thanks! Understood that for a pro like you, dm12 is better than Mopho x4. However, do you think it's still better for a first synth? I'm not experienced with analog. So accessible/better user interface is also a consideration
and I intend to use it for bass, lead, and pad sounds :)
I'd still say get the dm12, it's much better for bass, Pads and leads in my opinion. if you want lots of synthesis, then maybe a mono like the Sub37, Dominion 1 or something by Analogue Solutions. For poly though, considering features, price, then the DM12 is the best out there.
GEOSynths thank you once again!
Imagine OB-6 is the same price that DP12... what would you buy of them??
Slam Blambacid Yes! I would buy an OB6 if it came down in price! DSI is always so far out of my range as a family man with 3 kids.
anyone know when the desktop module will be released?
thanks :)
Its good? Or cheap quality component?
It's not cheaply made, it's very good quality and can sound amazing.
@@GEOSynths thanks!
👍i LoVe !
💙⚪❤
How many user patches can this hold?
There's 8 Banks and each Bank has 128 Patches.
Are these sounds the factory presets??
No, they're sounds I have made, you can find out more at www.geosynths.com/deepmind-12
Does it work to Deep Mind 6 as well?
Hi, yes it does, the sound engine is the same, just fewer notes on some Patches that use Unison 2 Voice, though I did come up with a way to thicken the sound without sacrificing notes in Deeper Vol 2.
@@GEOSynths Ohh great! Thank you for clarifying! I will use your advice. Still looking your video :-)
@@GEOSynths I also noticed only DeepMind has so delicious sound, but it just can be in my mind only.
Eight ads in 7 minutes! Incredible. You should think about monetizing your monetizations.
I went all out Behringer in the early 2000s on a PA system. Looked cool but it sounded like shit. I still have the shit after taste of Behringer. But if I close my eyes and listen to this video, I would seriously be interested in this synth.
14:50 oh god
This synth should have been made with 5 octaves.
I Love 80s No kidding! Same with the DSI synths, makes you wonder if there are any players left in the world 🤔🎹
maybe unnecessary for someone who probably already owns a 61+ key keyboard, just adds to the price
Yeah, I have a Kronos 73 to the side, which is what I usually play.
I Love 80s Agree ..... every serious analog polysynth I've owned from the late 70's on had at least a five octave keyboard.
agree, 61 or none (desktop). I've tried 49. just a little cramped occasionally, enough to be worth avoiding that number.
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Thinking of this or the System 8.
Like Ted Nugent says "I love this Sh$t"!!
Good for price, which keeps falling (under $600 now, used). A little thin overall. Hate 4 octave keyboards.
what AudioInterface r u using
Back then I was going into a Yamaha 01V96 Mixer. I now use a Persons Quantum
Attention! After watching this video, I bought the sounds and found that I didn't get the sounds that are shown in the video. I wrote to the seller twice, but never received an answer.
Sounds generically great...I like Roland tones....but, this is great, too....
it seems that all patches have a basic tone that makes them similar, I think it's because the filter that is still very nice. The sounds seem different, but there are some sonic characteristics that make all sounds too flattened into a spectrum of frequencies. The synth is new, powerful and precise, but I could recognize the sound of it even now in the midst of many, and I do not like this thing
This seems to be a great synth. But I can't understand why they use such a shitty screen, when high res colour screens are so cheap now and also cheap to drive/control. I have a Korg M-50 and it has the same problem - great synth, shit UI. At least the Korg has the excuse of being a decade old or more.
