Behringer DeepMind 12 Analog Poly Synth Now Available, Sold Out Already?

There's been a lot of build up for the DeepMind 12 from Behringer. We've been reporting since July 7th about this synthesizer... which, quite frankly from a price perspective, is hard to beat. Now its sonic capability is another question to be answered, though we've been impressed by the numerous videos and demos over the past 6 months.

And now the DeepMind 12, sub-$100012 voice analog polyphonic synthesizer, is available in stores. Just in time for you to spend playing over the transition from last year to 2017.

Stores like Thomman and perhaps others in Europe are reported to have the DeepMind 12 in stock. Whle our North American friends are going to have a wait a tiny bit longer as Sweetwater is still awaiting the first shipments due early Jan 2017.

To keep you going while you wait, here's the spec of the DeepMind 12:

• Classic polyphonic synthesizer with 12 true analog voices for insanely fat and authentic sounds
• 4 simultaneous world-class TC ELECTRONIC and KLARK TEKNIK FX with over 30 algorithms including Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay and multi-band Distortion
• 12 voices with 2 OSCs per voice with oscillator sync mode
• 2 LFOs per voice with 7 waveform shapes, key sync, MIDI sync and envelope auto-triggering
• 3 ADSR generators per voice for control of VCF, VCA and MOD envelopes 
• Flexible 8-channel modulation matrix with 19 sources and over 130 destinations including effects parameters
• 32-step control sequencer with adjustable slew rate and MIDI sync
• Full remote control via iPad*/PC/Mac* and selected Android* App over USB, MIDI or built-in WiFi for extended parameter control
• 49 semi-weighted full-size keys featuring velocity sensitivity and after-touch
• Pure analog signal path based on legendary VCF and VCA designs
• OSC 1 generates sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms with pulse width modulation
• OSC 2 generates square/pulse waveforms with tone modulation
