That is absolutely the best description of modulation. I thought I was explaining it simply before (which I was an lots of people have understood it) but that was magic. Instant sub.
Terrific how you start with the audio rate modulation not to bring about agro, metallic FM tones, but to show its capabilities as a kind of tonal 'thickener' before bringing the FM ruckus (3:33 - YEAH!!). I've never seen that before. An excellent illustration of the deep musical range of that kind of modulation and another extremely informative post. You really know your way around your synths - hats off.
You are putting out some really great stuff here! Stuff that we probably couldn't find in the manual! Stuff that is only implied. Thanks for all the useful insights. I've had my deepmind for a while now but just haven't had a chance to sit down with it like you have. Now that I have been watching your videos I keep it close at hand and turn it on and go through some of the steps that you outline and then even try to take it a little further on my own. It's looking like the mod Matrix is going to be a very important part of learning how to coax things out of this instrument. Never really had a synth that had a mod Matrix on it. I can see how this can be very powerful. Thanks again. Keep all the good videos coming.
There seems to be an unprecedented level of experimentation possible here with the deepmind 12. It’s my first poly, and I’m always floored every time I browse through the menus.
I pulled the trigger on the DM12 today,i hope won't be disapointed.I have already a few digital synths like microKORG,JD Xi,D05,Reface DX,CS and CP ,TB03 and a few analog mono synths-Minitaur,Sub Phatty and Behringer Model D to cover all my bass needs,so this will be my first poly analog synth.I will use it mainly for pads and strings.So fingers crossed.
Nice nice :) A great thing of the DM lfo's is, with the modmatrix the speed of go up to max 1280 hz...(oO) thats realy high for a analog synth...i Love my dm6 ;) Cheers
Loving these videos! I don’t think I’ve ever seen an audio rate LFO cause the filter to make a tone of its own, let alone tracking that tone to the keyboard! How cool is that?! I had a DM12 when they came out and ended up letting it go. Been missing it ever since and I just ordered a DM6 which should be here Monday. Can’t wait to put this to use! Thanks and keep up the great work! 👍
That's great! A lot of the ideas that I present in videos about specific synths can often be transported to most other synths so hopefully they're useful for a lot of folks!
Yeah totally. I find it really good to see\hear some tricks and tips about other synths and then trying to implement them in the synths that are available. It's a great way, as funny as it sounds, to get to know your synths better... Cheers!
Very nice vid and explorations! It is so weird that the filter’s flattering produces a sound. It should produce nothing when there is nothing to filter electronically, though it acts as if it imitates a physical mouth: a mouth needs a vocal chord vibration in terms to apply vowel-filter to it but if a mouth starts to shift its shape, let’s say, from “a” to “o” vowel in a tremendous speed, it will indeed push and pull some air (due to the difference of air volume in mouth for each vowel) and this will translate as an audible sound! Weird cool.
Oscillator Sink yeah is good education ..and you live set was good😉 nah please more you're live with rappers and your videos are helping us all AND I MEAN YOUR A STAR AND WE ARE ALL THANKFULL, i dont have patriots account😕but will do soon😉 AND GO LIVE, SOUNDED LIKE JELLIN?
I’m sure many will disagree but I’m came so close to buying a Novation Peak and was looking at the Access Virus. I bought this instead and am happy with it. I can’t say what I’m missing from the Peak or Virus but the DeepMind can do plenty. What most if not all will agree with me is that many many of these synths are way overpriced. In essence I bought something at about half the price and it does the job.
I'm considering buying a DM. Wait and save for the 12, 12D or the 6? Would I really miss the 6 notes of polyphony? I think I would miss the additional octave. You obviously don't have an issue with it. I will play pop and rock hits from the 80s-90s and some recent stuff as well.
If you are a keyboardist, either go for the 12, or the 12D with the controller keyboard of your choice. For my part, I'm not a great keyboard player so the money saved outweighed the requirement for more polyphony!
No, I starting out and just learned how to spell MIDI. I've played guitar and bass for a while now. Synth is the next part of the journey. I'm loving it so far with Arturia V collection and a minibrute. DM12 is big on my wish list.
Same here.First I started buying guitars,then pedals,then moved to basses,then audio equipment,then moved to synths,drum machines,monitor speakers,headphones,plugins,microphones jeeez it looked like it will never end.But soon,very soon I'm ending this journey.One more year left for me to finish all my g.a.s list and I'm done.I will have everything I need and will immerse finally in peace and will devote to make music,rather than to be buying stuff all the time.Man,one needs to know ,when to stop,otherwise he will never see himself with money.I really saw that I have a lot of stuff and I need to start using it.G.A.S is a serious sickness,an obsession,that people seem not to pay so much attention,it's passion ,hobby ect.But it's a disease.
Minilogue XD is a far more complete and versatile synth vs the Poly D, so in most cases I'd say that. But if you want the sound of a paraphonic Moog style synth then the Poly D will do that one thing better.
yeah, I guessed that. especially the size is very intriguing. But I am still wondering if I may need another 6 voices... or not. I can hardly weight the pros and cons, but it looks like a great choice as mid-budget beginner synth.
My advice is: go for the 12 if you want to/ can spend the money. The 6 is plenty until you start stacking voices - if you're a proper keyboard player you might then find you're running out of polyphony.
get in an online chat with AMS and they'll knock it down to $740 New, you may need the extra voices & extra keys when you're playing/sound designing polyphonically...
If you assign Mod wheel as the modulator and LFO1 or LFO2 rate as the destination with maximum modulation in the matrix, when you turn the mod wheel all the way up does the LFO extend to the same audio range that it does when you did this trick with note number?
I got a Deepmind and I can confirm this works. You set the LFO rate slider to the highest rate or thereabouts (to offset the overall speed higher), then route the modwheel to LFO rate at full depth. You can then you use the modwheel to set the LFO at way higher audio rate speeds, without having to rely on Note # as a modulation source. This opens up a lot of possibilities, I was getting all kinds of crazy sounds out of it. I'd imagine you could do the same trick with the expression pedal, and then have cascading audio rate modulations!! (LFO1 -> LFO2 -> OSC's or VCF Freq). I find I like modulating the filter at full resonance with the audio rate LFO the most pleasing sound. Once you start using the mod envelope in conjuction and other stuff the possibilities are endless. You can also somewhat get some AM sounds by modulating the VCA with an audio rate LFO and sending an oscillator through it.
Great job taking everyone through the LFO and getting up into the patch you made. This is a bit more rough and ready but I did a video on this a while ago looking at DCO FM with the audio rate and pitch tracking LFOs. Somehow the video and audio ended up out of sync but it's here if anyone wants to check it out. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r76iAxt9tOI.html
This may sound like a silly question but I’m completely new to synthesizers lol. Does the sound come out of the synthesizer itself - as in are there speakers built in - or does it have to be connected separately to a speaker?
Hi! Simple question: How does it exactly works the Rate in LFO 2 in H-47 patch "Pad Chopper"? It sounds like a strange pattern, like a morse code. I don't know how to set up the LFO in order to do this "ramdon" way. Thanks!
I don't have my Deepmind set up at the moment, but if the LFO speed seems random or is changing then the LFO rate is probably being modulated by the other LFO or an envelope - check the Mod Matrix. I do similar things, albeit more slowly in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_p5JBAWUTs.html
Yeah, you can do the kind of "e-piano" vibe; of course it's never going to be totally convincing, but once you get some effects on it, it would do in a pinch.
If you own a Behringer DeepMind 12 or 6 I re-created the original factory presets of a Juno-106 that you can load into it! Here's the link to a video where you can hear them and the download link is in the bio! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kLCo1tTiVjc.html
Turns out you don’t! This is very fun to play with, I have a keyed 12 and as long as note number is set to an lfos rate, and that lfos rate slider is turned all the way up, and turn the lfo slider in the filter all the way up you should have a sound. Resonance is actually not needed for this!
If you want to get really deep into sound design, the Deepmind is a good bet, it also has more voices of polyphony. That said, the Minilogue XD has those digital oscillators and is super hands on (and sounds great). So do you want something more immediate? Then the Minilogue, if you want something very tweakable and deep, then the Deepmind might be better.
@@OscillatorSink Thanks a lot. I'd like something good for ambient type stuff. I like the sound of the deep mind but i'd imagine the Minilogue XD is mabye better for a noob? It's a hard call!
@@niloben659 go watch some more videos of the XD, I think it does ambient really well. But I'd also say that the Deepmind isn't hard to get started on - there's just loads to dig into as you learn (and if you want to learn).

This is from scratch on an Initialised Patch. Make sure you're changing the rate of the right LFO - in the initialised patch that's LFO 1 for the pitch and LFO 2 for the filter.
