Behringer Deepmind 12 Review February 12, 2019 16:35

The DeepMind 12D is a 12 voice analog poly-synth featuring Unison and a true bypass digital effects section.  Each voice features 2 analog DCO’s and an analog resonant lowpass filter, switchable between 2 and 4 poles.  There’s also a noise source though this is global and not per voice.
