DEEPMIND 12X

DEEPMIND 12X allows you to conjure up virtually any sound you can imagine with unparalleled finesse and ease. Thanks to its 4 FX engines, dual analog OSCs and LFOs per voice, 3 ADSR Generators, 8-Channel Modulation Matrix and onboard 32-Step Control Sequencer, the DEEPMIND 12X gives you complete control over your soundscape. Plus, DEEPMIND 12X features comprehensive remote control via iPad/PC/Mac and selected Android Apps over USB, MIDI or built-in WiFi – for a custom-tailored workflow that lets your creative spirit soar to new heights.

Classic Polyphonic Synthesizer

The inspired synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and '80s are etched in the annals of progressive rock and pop music forever, making them truly classic in every sense of the word. DEEPMIND 12X’s pure analog signal path with legendary IR3109-style VCFs, stereo VCAs, and 12-voice polyphony lets you recreate all that magic or design the powerful, original sounds that just might make you a legend in your own right. And now with its updated look, you’ll have a striking piece of gear in your setup as well.

The FX Racks

We also included 4 simultaneous FX engines with over 33 world-class TC Electronic, Midas and Klark Teknik algorithms – including Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Multiband Distortion, and many more. Custom-designed and physically modeled after some of the most iconic and sought-after processors, DEEPMIND 12X’s FX were essentially “rebuilt” in the digital domain – and put right at your fingertips. All effects run inside the low-latency environment of the DEEPMIND 12X, ensuring flawless performance and flexible routing.

Glorious 12-Note Polyphony

Playing chords and building textural soundscapes requires the ability to generate multiple notes or sounds simultaneously. While early analog synthesizers were either monophonic (only 1 note at a time), or somewhat limited in the number of sounds they could produce at the same time, the DEEPMIND 12X boosts your creativity with 12-note polyphony. Each voice has 2 oscillators, with OSC 1 generating sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms with pulse width modulation, and OSC 2 generates square/pulse waveforms with a unique tone modulation. With 24 oscillators at your disposal, a tremendous range of options becomes available including the following oscillator modes: Unison 12, 6, 4, 3, 2 Mono; Mono -2; Mono 4; Mono 6; Poly; Poly 6, and Poly 8. The addition of oscillator sync, oscillator drift and parameter drift allow the recreation of the much sought after warmth and movement found in vintage analog synthesizers, with greatly improved reliability and stability.

Making Waves

Individual voices also have 2 LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) with a range that extends into the audio rate. Each LFO features adjustable slew-rate, modulation delay, key sync, assignable clock sync (internal or external MIDI), envelope auto-triggering, as well as Delay and Fade in. The 7 available waveform shapes are; Sine; Triangle; Square; Ramp Up; Ramp Down; Sample and Hold, and Sample and Glide for an amazing array of tonal options. The DEEPMIND 12X also offers a highly unusual Phase Link option for the polyphonic LFOs, allowing them to operate in Unison (Mono), or link with an adjustable phase shift between voices. Additionally, the LFOs can track key pitch via the modulation matrix, enabling cross mod type effects.

3 Envelope Generators

When it comes to envelope generation, DEEPMIND 12X has all bases covered, thanks to 3 four-stage ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators per voice, each equipped with continuously-variable curves for truly unique flexibility. Envelope Trigger Modes include: Legato, Mono, and Retrigger. The envelopes can be triggered by key, individual LFOs, or the control sequencer and looped well into the audio rate. DEEPMIND 12X serves up all the versatility and tone-sculpting options a professional musician could ask for.

8-Channel Modulation Matrix

Want to modulate the reverb tail or compressor with the mod wheel? How about driving the Midas multi-band distortion effect with an LFO or aftertouch? With 19 modulation sources and more than 130 destinations, DEEPMIND 12X provides a multitude of modulation options. And the "press & hold" shortcuts make selection of those sources and destinations quick and easy.

32-Step Control Sequencer

The control sequencer features an adjustable slew rate, MIDI sync, and allows a 32-step pattern of values, which can vary from -127 to 127. Other parameters that can be controlled include: note value; tie and length; slew; and swing. These can all be mapped as modulation sources to any of the available destinations.

Remote Control

Comprehensive remote control is available for DEEPMIND 12X via iPad/PC/Mac App over USB, MIDI or built-in WiFi for extended parameter control. The iPad App also features a robust preset manager, gig list full editor and integral Patch Morpher.

Ultra-Expressive Keyboard

The keyboard features 49 full-sized, velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch that deliver an expressive and superior playing experience. You’ll love the feel and playability of DEEPMIND 12X’s semi-weighted keys as they respond to even the slightest nuance of your playing. Aftertouch allows you to imbue your sound with variations of pitch, volume, modulation or color – whatever parameters you choose. Whether you have a heavy or soft playing style, DEEPMIND 12X always responds to your touch with 3 different selectable velocity and aftertouch curves.

Pure Analog Signal Path

A modern reincarnation of a beloved analog classic (with true bypass studio-grade FX), all of DEEPMIND 12X's sounds are purely analog – all the way from OSC 1, which generates sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms with user-definable pulse width modulation (PWM), and OSC 2, which generates square/pulse waveforms with tone modulation. The combination of square/pulse waves on OSC 1 and tone modulation on OSC 2 gives the DEEPMIND 12X a boldly unique and fresh character not found in competing products.

Low Pass Filter and Envelope Faders

Everything about the DEEPMIND 12X has been designed to give you total control over the creative process. That goes for the selectable, dual slope 12/24 dB analog low pass filter with adjustable resonance and tracking (per voice), and the 4 Envelope faders that smoothly transform individual segments of the envelope between linear, exponential and reverse exponential curves.
