• PORTA-OSC-BAL - This option allows you to balance the application of
PORTA-TIME (the slide time between played notes) between OSC1 and OSC2.
When a positive setting is chosen, the OSC 1 PORTA-TIME will decrease. At
its maximum value (127), the OSC 1 PORTA-TIME will be zero, and the pitch
change will happen immediately (no sliding).
When a negative setting is chosen, the OSC 2 PORTA-TIME will decrease. At
its minimum value (-127) the OSC 2 PORTA-TIME will be zero, and the pitch
change will happen immediately (no sliding).
The PORTA-OSC-BAL parameter ranges from -128 to 127, and the default
setting is 0.
• P.BEND R ANG E+ - This option allows you to set the upper limit of the PITCH
WHEEL. The pitch bend depth parameters are bi-polar.
The P.BEND RANGE+ parameter can be varied from -24 to +24 (notes). The
default P.BEND RANGE+ setting is +2 (notes).
• P.BEND R ANG E - - This option allows you to set the lower limit of the PITCH
WHEEL. The pitch bend depth parameters are bi-polar, so moving the pitch
wheel downwards can be made to pitch the voices up, for example by a
dierent depth to the positive depth.
The P.BEND RANGE- parameter can be varied from -24 to +24 (notes). The
default P.BEND RANGE- setting is -2 (notes).
• GLOBAL-TUNE - This option allows you to adjust the GLOBAL TUNING for the
synthesizer. The range is -128 to 127.
CAUTION: If you ever suspect that your DeepMind 12 seems to be out of
tune, it is a good idea to check that the GLOBAL-TUNE is set to 0.
5. To exit the PITCH PARAMETERS menu, press the PROG switch to return to
the main display, or press the POLY EDIT switch again to enter the CHAIN
PARAMETERS menu.

8.4.5 CHAIN PARAMETERS MENU
Use the POLY EDIT switch to access the CHAIN PARAMETERS menu. This menu is
used to set up a POLY CHAIN, a system where multiple DeepMind 12, DeepMind
12, and DeepMind 6 synthesizers can be connected together, enabling more than
12-Voice Polyphony.
This menu can also be used to set up a KEYBOARD SPLIT if you have two or more
DeepMind units.
A single DeepMind 12 unit has a maximum of 12 voices that can play at any one
time (12-Voice Polyphony). If further voices are attempted than are available,
then information is lost. (How this is handled for a single unit, is described in the
PRIORITY section of the VOICE PARAMETERS menu.
In order to increase the number of voices that can play at any one time, you can
add additional DeepMind synthesizers into your system and set up a POLY CHAIN
using the CHAIN PARAMETERS page of the POLY EDIT menu.
Note: If you are just using one DeepMind unit, then there is no need to use this
menu, although it is a good idea to know its details, as the chosen settings will
aect normal operation, and it may give you ideas for future expansion.
1. Press the POLY EDIT switch and it will start ashing, and the VOICE
PARAMETERS menu will appear.
2. Press the EDIT switch twice more to show the CHAIN PARAMETERS menu:
3. To navigate the options in the CHAIN PARAMETERS menu, use the BANK/UP
or BANK/DOWN switches.
4. Selected parameters are adjusted using the -/NO or +/YES switches, the
rotary knob or the DATA ENTRY fader. The rotary knob has a click which
allows very accurate control. The fader allows rapid adjustment across the
full range.
The following options are available in this menu. (Further details and examples of
the actual operation are shown later in this section.)
• POLY-CHAIN - Select ON if you are using more than one DeepMind
synthesizer and you would like to set up a POLY CHAIN.
• PROGRAM LINK - Select ON if you want the other DeepMind units in the
POLY CHAIN to automatically change to the same program as playing in the
rst DeepMind unit. This option is only available when POLY CHAIN is ON.
• KEY RANGE - Select ON if you have two DeepMind synthesizers and would
like to set up a KEYBOARD SPLIT. One DeepMind can operate one side of the
keyboard, and the other DeepMind can control the other side. Each side of
the split can have its own program.
