DeepMind 12 : Overall it is a well featured poly synth

5 years ago

Overall it is a well featured poly synth, considering it's cost and you have a lot of options for shaping the sound.

Things I did not liked:

- using a 50 ohm Headphone I had a constant 5kHz. Using line output and an audio interface, setting the stage gain right this was not so evident.

- using the Network WIFI had a strange drone noise in the headphone. Using line output it was not so evident.

- the dynamic led lights on the mod and pitch made a static noise when they lit up (turning permanent on or off the light solved the noise).

- the pitch wheel had more than I am used to free play between the spring points.

- I had to tune it once a week

Pros:

- you can create a lot of sounds and apply modulation on those, and a huge array of triggering configurations

- it has 12 voices, so unison and detune sounds good

- Using effects with moderation adds great sounding

- The keys I found them decent (better than my old M-Audio midi controller) but there are some Midi Controllers with better keybed

- A dedicated Filter Envelope Controls (instead of switching between VCA and Filter) would be useful
