Description
The Behringer DeepMind 12 Synthesiser is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
The Deepmind represents Behringer’s first foray into true polyphonic analog synthesis. The Deepmind 12, as the name suggests, is a 12-note polysynth that’s bursting at the seams with features – even more impressive when you consider the price tag.

12-Voice Polyphonic Control
The Deepmind 12 is a true polysynth behemoth. Even when you take out the extensive FX, modulation matrix and connectivity (more on this later), you’ve got 12 voices with 2 oscillators per voice. OSC 1 generates sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms with pulse width modulation, while OSC 2 generates square/pulse waveforms with tone modulation.
It doesn’t stop there though. 2 LFOs per voice let you easily inject movement into your sound, with 7 shapes, key sync and automatic triggering for easy synchronising. You’ll also get 3 ADSR envelopes per voice for VCF, VCA and modulation respectively – unprecedented control. Finally a 12/24dB low-pass filter per-voice lets you hone in on the perfect amount of light or dark.
Cutting-Edge Effects
Behringer often work closely with renowned FX wizards TC Electronic and Klark Teknik; the Deepmind is no exception. With 4 simultaneous FX slots, you can make the most of any combination of over 30 algorithms, from reverb to multi-band distortion. Combined with the extensive 32-step sequencer and arpeggiator, and you’ve got a powerhouse of a synth toolkit on your hands.
The 8-channel modulation matrix lets you weave complex textures and patches of your own, with over 130 destinations. Finally, a stereo audio output and CV connectivity completes the puzzle, making the Deepmind 12 a synthesiser that’s perfect for stage as well as studio.
