DeepMind 12 : A fine and underrated analogue synth

Before buying this synth I saw many videos on Youtube, especially the ones comparing the sound to other analogue synths, like the videos of Starsky Carr.

Overall I could hear the possibilites and the quality of the oscilators, I was amazed by the quality of the sound and the effects.

The fact that the effects come from TC Electronic and Klark Teknik which I've known for years boosts the already good sound of this synth.

Right out of the box you get excellent delays, compressors, reverbs, phasers and other effects but with the added power of intricate routing.

This synth can be as complex or as simple as you want, the controls are mostly sliders instead of knobs, which is OK, you can quickly edit sounds, ADSR, filter, resonance, the LFOs are at the tip of your fingers which adds to the expressiveness.

The build quality is good for its price, you get metal and wood, it's got a small footprint and is quite portable.

It's incredible how many features Behringer have packed on this original synth (as you know the other synths are clones of older models).

It's a very unique proposal in the synth world, there is no synth quite like it, I dare to say that it's in its own league.

I've read comments on how thin sounding it is, I strongly disagree, this has not been my experience with it, all the contrary it can sound as fat as you set it to be.
