Behringer DEEPMIND 12 User Manual

100 DeepMind 12 User Manual
Phaser
A Stereo Phaser, or phase shifter, applies multiple STAGES of modulated lters to
the input signal to create a “notch” in the frequency response, and then applies
a MIX with the original for a “swirling” eect. Use the Stereo Phaser to add a
“spaced-out” sound to vocal or instrument tracks.
SPEED adjusts the LFO rate and DEPTH sets the LFO modulation depth. The BASE
knob adjusts the frequency range of the modulated lters. The resonance is
adjusted with the RES knob. The WAVE knob shapes the symmetry of the LFO
waveform and PHASE dials in an LFO phase dierence between the left and
right channel. The modulation source can also be the signal envelope, which
produces vowel-like opening and closing tones. The ENV knob adjusts how much
this eect takes place (positive and negative modulation is possible), and the
ATTACK, HOLD and RELEASE knobs all tailor the response of this feature.
Mood Filter
The Mood Filter uses an LFO generator and an auto-envelope generator to
control a VCF (voltage-controlled lter), as well as a side chain function where
the channel B signal controls the envelope of channel A.
This lter can be modulated with the signal’s envelope using the ENV MOD
(withpositive and negative amounts), ATTACK and RELEASE knobs, or the
LFOcan modulate the lter. The WAVE knob selects between 7 dierent wave
forms–triangular, sine, saw plus, saw minus, ramp, square, and random.
ThePHASE can be o set by up to 180 degrees. The SPEED knob adjusts the rate
of the LFOand the DEPTH adjusts the amount of LFO modulation. Adjustthe
resonance of the lter until self-oscillation with the RESO(nance) knob.
BASEadjusts the range of the lter from 20 Hz to 15 kHz. The MODE switch
selects between low pass (LP), high-pass (HP), band-pass (BP) and Notch. Use
the MIXknob to blend the eected signal with the dry sound. With the 4 POLE
switch engaged, there will be a steeper slope than the OFF (2 pole) setting. The
DRIVE knob adjusts the level and can also introduce an overdrive eect (as with
real analog lters) if pushed hard.
Stereo / Dual Pitch
Pitch shifting is often used in two dierent ways. One is to set the Mix knob
lower and only use the Cent knob to make a small o set in pitch between the
wet and dry tones. This results in a “voice doubling” eect that thickens the
overall sound in a more subtle way. The extreme use of the eect is to turn the
Mix knob fully clockwise so the entire signal is eected. This way, the signal can
be shifted into other keys up to an octave above or below the original. When
used on a voice, this results in a “chipmunk” sound or a low Darth Vader eect.
When the SEMI and CENT knobs are set at 12:00, the pitch is not altered.
Makingadjustments by semitone will have a very pronounced eect,
whereaschanges to the CENT knob will be very minor. The DELAY knob creates
a time dierence between the wet and dry sound. The LO and HI CUT knobs
allow the eected signal to be band-limited. The Dual Pitch eect allows
the leftandright channels to be adjusted independently, and allows GAIN
compensation andpanning of the two channels.
Note: If you notice any "glitching" that may occur when using low-level signals,
we recommend using the Vintage Pitch FX shown below.

Rotary Speaker
Rotary Speaker emulates the sound of a Leslie rotating speaker. The Rotary
Speaker provides more exibility than its electromechanical counterpart, andcan
be used with a variety of instruments, and even vocals, to create a whirling,
psychedelic eect.
The LO SPEED and HI SPEED knobs adjust the rotational speed of the
SLOWand FAST Speed selection, and can be toggled with the FAST switch.
TheACCEL(eration) knob adjusts how quickly the speed increases and
decreases from the Slow mode to the Fast mode. The rotation eect can also
be disengaged with the STOP switch, which will stop the movement of the
speakers. DISTANCEadjusts the distance between the Rotary speakers and the
virtualmicrophone.
