Behringer DeepMind - Let's Build a... Generative Patch! 

I've heard he's a fan...

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found it interesting!

@@OscillatorSink I was wondering if at some point you could demonstrate different ways to utilise the Mod envelope? Unless of course you've already done that in one of your other DM6 vids?

I suspect I've done it here and there but not specifically a video on it. Pretty sure I would have used it on the Deepmind drum machine tutorial. The obvious place to start is to use it to modulate the pitch of Osc 2 when it's being used in sync mode for that classic sync sound - but you can assign it to anything of course - I like it doing PWM to get a sound which starts thin and opens up. And remember it can loop so you can use it as an LFO too.

@@OscillatorSink Thanks, I ask though because I find actually witnessing you do this stuff quite inspiring.

@@squareeyedgit that's very kind! I imagine that the ambient pad and drum machine tutorials will feature it for sure, but I probably used it on most of them I'd imagine, even if just for little tweaks.

I'll do my best! Glad you enjoy them!

I'm glad you enjoyed it - I hope you're having fun with your new hobby!

Thank you!

Yeah, they're not joking about the "Deep" part of the name! The Mod Matrix is super comprehensive, but a lot of the stuff that's usually "pre wired" can be altered from inside the menus, so you don't even have to use the Mod Matrix for a lot of things!

@@OscillatorSink that's brilliant! Again, I really appreciate you using generative patching as a way to explore this. It's much more how my brain works then some of the more standard presentations of this instrument. cheers!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you learned something!

Thanks for the return custom, I'm glad it lived up to how you remembered it!

Thank you! I don't know about "calmed down", but I got lucky with some naps and my wife very kindly did some solo parenting! Was nice to get "back in the saddle" so to speak though!

Have fun exploring friend!

If you haven't seen the video where I turn it into a drum machine... Well I think you'd enjoy it!

Hi I'm jg. Iam going to buy. A berginer it is a brillent symth

Yes it's a pretty good synth for beginners, it has a lot of depth but all of the main controls are on the front panel which helps. I'd also look at something like the Korg Minilogue.

I'm really glad you liked the video. I think the Deepmind really comes to kids when you really start pushing what's possible with the modulation.

Yesss! Enjoy your new synth friend!

@@OscillatorSink Thanks! It got in today, and it is so much fun! Complements my Monologue, Volca FM, and Volca Sample beautifully. I'm more than satisfied with my setup now.

Thank you for the compliment, and welcome to the channel!

Enjoy your new synth! Was the cut out of the screen in the corner not clear for you? It's from that same camera so should have been as readable?

@@OscillatorSink sorry, I meant a different time, comment now edited 😀. I couldn't quite get the same sounds as you, but seeing the settings from above helped.

Hey thanks! If you like to see the Deepmind pushed to new places you might enjoy this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cela5PsXYXA.html And I hope you enjoy your new synth!

Cinematic 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, you've made some good moves there! I'd maybe address the effects section - lengthen that reverb, make the delay darker and up the feedback. Generally go for longer and slower, so you can make the envelopes much slower as you've done, but you can push that change harder if you slow down the two LFOs so they don't trigger so often - that'll also give you space to really push the effects. One other thing to look at - if you look on my channel for the video where I build an Ambient pad on the Deepmind - there's probably ideas you can steal from there and combine into this patch; especially the way I set up the reverb on that patch. Glad you're having fun with the patch and exploring how you can make it your own! Exactly what I hope people will do with these tutorials 😊

Well - I hope you enjoy your "new" synth then!

Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy your new synth! A few people have mentioned string machines so I'll add it to my list - but as I've just got a Digitakt, you might have to wait a while!!

Yesss! Have fun exploring! It's super cool that the Deepmind is so well suited to it 🙂

And thank you for watching!

That's great to hear!

High praise! Thank you so much!

Really pleased you enjoyed it!

Really pleased that you enjoyed it.

It is a pretty handsome looking thing isn't it? Glad you're enjoying it!

Have fun exploring!

There's a lot to explore on this synth - almost too much maybe, which is why people sometimes miss things!

Thank you for checking them out!

Weee! Tuesday can't come soon enough! I hope you enjoy your new synth!

Perhaps they'll release a distorted reverb algo for the effects engine on the XD? We're kinda spoiled for choice on analogue polys in 2019. Who'd have predicted that?

You're very welcome - I hope you come up with your own cool sounds!

Thank you! Have fun with it!

1) yes 2) also yes 3) you are very welcome!

It sure does! The shoegaze special.

@@OscillatorSink It made me think of some Kevin Shields stuff right away! Thanks again for all your videos. I learned so much from this and really enjoyed your patch at the end of it. You're a great teacher and your love and enthusiasm really makes it all that much more enjoyable. Keep it up my friend.

Thank you, welcome to the channel!

Welcome to the channel friend!

Let's hope so!

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

Yeah this is a fun patch - lots of ways you can vary and re-apply these ideas too. I did a Jamuary performance this year which took a different approach to these ideas (and used the control sequencer for even more fun)

Nice! Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you! I think you could drift off into space forever with those three together!

@@OscillatorSink I agree and I suspect all your subscribers will happily drift along with you.

I would say that once you learn what elements don't need to be "patched" via the Mod Matrix, you have a huge number of potential connections you can make. The modulation options are huge and I don't even touch on the arpeggiator or control sequencer here in this video. 4 FX slots with multiple routings including feed back... If you're willing to dig in, I think you'll find lots to explore!

@@OscillatorSink Thank you for your response. I had originally been wrestling with either purchasing the DM12d or a Soma Labs Lyra-8 - and I know that seems like a hugely odd choice to wrestle with as they are completely different beasts and most people go into gear purchases knowing what they need or what hole they are trying to fill in their setup. For myself though, as far as hardware goes, I currently only own a Deluge and an Organelle, and was just looking for something fun to expand into - no real clear direction besides liking the Juno'ish sound of the DM and after seeing your video, the generative aspects of it, and then of course the beautiful experimental choas of the Lyra-8. After your reply, I think I can safely say that I'll be purchasing the DM12d - if only because I think it will be more flexible for the time being. Thanks again for your input and I really love your channel! Blessings!

Equal opportunity synth love ❤️

i'm looking into the minilogue xd to go with my deepmind. Would you say then that the minilogue sounds different enough to be worth getting? thanks so much ! also the ms20 mini looks really nice

I'd say so, they can cover some of the same ground, but they have pretty different vibes. Of course, if you were in that kind of budget, you could also be considering, for example, a couple of Neutrons which obviously is a very different proposition, but they can be polychained, played paraphonically, have that vibey delay and, if course, you have the semi modular element to them, so if you're into more... esoteric sounds, they might scratch that itch. I'm not recommending that idea above the XD if what you want is a polysynth, but just putting an interesting idea out there 😉

Then I bet you're about to make a *really* weird patch! I bet it would sound amazing to set up two different generative patches and send the same notes to both!

I don't know that I'll be doing any more Deepmind videos any time soon, but you might want to check out the video I did on making an organ patch on the Monologue - different synth, of course, but the techniques would be similar. I will, I imagine, do an organ video for the Opsix though - which is also probably a much better tool for the job.

Generative patches are literally all about happy little accidents.

Nailed it.

Thank you!

You've just got to explore!

Thank you!

You have to keep exploring to see who is hidden in the patch!

Oscillator Sink 😃

Thanks for watching!

Remember to take regular breaks so you don't damage it!

@@OscillatorSink 😂😂😂 Good idea seems useful must try and keep it alive😬😂😂

Thank you. Not that I've noticed (or that has bothered me enough to notice).

If you use the same outlet as your monitor/mixer / amplifier, you can have a ground loop.

Good question. I'd say yes - but only if you had a specific need, required more hands on control or you had an issue with the particular tone of the built in effects . The built in effects give you all of the generic and some esoteric effects, and then you can do crazy stuff with routing. As an example though, if I wanted a really glitchy effect, granular looping kind of thing, I'm not getting it from the Deepmind. The Deepmind doesn't give me a great spring reverb sound, so I'd want something external for that. If I wanted to perform with a lot of real-time tweaking of mutipl effects parameters, I'd want something external for that too. But like I say, those are specific requirements, and most of the time the built in effects will make you very happy indeed!

That really depends on whether you think the 6 notes of polyphony is limiting to you. Personally, if you can afford it and you've got the space I'd go for it - I don't regret getting the 6, but the extra 6 voices of polyphony wouldn't go to waste if I had them. I think the desktop version is the best deal if you already have a controller keyboard you like.

Send my apologies to your Cenk account!

2 hrs or so later..... my result, it's like the soundtrack to a real creepy dream!

Perfect!

If you get stuck on the slider settings, remember that every change is also shown on the display. As I started with a initialised patch, the starting position of the slider is irrelevant.

Yeah, I'd say so.
