5 DeepMind 12 User Manual
1. Introduction
The DeepMind 12 is a True Analog 12-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer with 4 FX
Engines, 2 OSCs and LFOs per Voice, 3 ADSR Generators, 8-Channel Modulation
Matrix, 32-Step Sequencer, Tablet Remote Control and Built-In Wi-Fi.
The DeepMind 12 was created to serve the creative needs of players, performers,
artists, sound designers, engineers and producers.
The DeepMind 12 oers all the features of a traditional analog polyphonic
synthesizer, and adds incredible new features to enhance and expand the
creative possibilities.
This manual rst describes the terminology used, so that you
understand the unit and its functions. Please read the manual carefully
and keep it for future reference.
1.1 Before you get started

connection. Foryour own safety, never remove or disable the
ground conductor from the unit or the AC power cord.
1.2 The product manual
The product manual is designed to give you both an overview of the DeepMind 12
analog polyphonic synthesizer, as well as detailed information on each of the
controls and parameters. You will nd an overview of the physical control
elements in the next chapter.
1.3 Preparation
CAUTION: Remember to turn your monitors / loudspeakers on
last when powering up your system, and turn your monitors /
loudspeakers o rst when powering down your system.
2. Features
2.1 Voices
• Twelve independent Voices.
• Two discrete OSCs per voice.
• OSC 1 : Simultaneous Sawtooth and Pulse / Square function.
• OSC 2 : Square with Tone Mod wave shape function.
• Variable Pulse width (OSC1) Tone Mod (OSC2) manual and variable
modulation depth for each OSC.
• Hard sync option: oscillator 2 either syncs to oscillator 1 or can free run.
• Variable Pitch oset for OSC2 (± 1 octave) for harmonic richness.
• Three octave ranges per OSC, 16', 8', 4'.
• OSC drift amount for controllable tuning instability.
