8 DeepMind 12 User Manual
(1) DISPLAY - this large backlit LCD screen shows the synthesizer status,
parameters, and the fi ve main menus. The contrast and brightness are
adjustable on the PANEL SETTINGS page of the GLOBAL menu.
(2) NAVIGATION - navigate within the display menus using the UP, DOWN, +/
YES and -/NO buttons.
(3) MENUS - these switches allow access to the display menus.
PROG MENU- the main display of the synthesizer. Shows the current
program, the currently adjusted parameter and a visual representation of
the parameter and the three envelopes.
FX MENU - add up to four eff ects from the list available. Change the eff ects
routing by selecting one of the ten MODEs available. Each of the eff ects has
individual controls for all parameters.
GLOBAL MENU - view and adjust settings for the synthesizer. There are
fi ve pages, CONNECTIVITY, KEYBOARD, PEDAL, PANEL and SYSTEM.
COMPARE MENU - in this menu, you can compare the current program
with the stored program and see the diff erence in physical fader positions.
WRITE MENU - in this menu, you can write the current program settings
to the program library. You can also rename the program and set its
category type.
(4) DATA ENTRY - selected parameters on the display are adjusted using the
rotary knob or the fader. The rotary knob has a click which allows very
accurate control. The fader allows rapid adjustment across the full range.
MOD- this switch opens the modulation matrix on the display and allows
up to 8 modulations to be created from the list of sources and destinations.
(5) ARP/SEQ - this area controls the arpeggiator and the control sequencer.
ON/OFF - when activated, this generates an arpeggio based on pressed
keys. Note - the control sequencer is turned on from its edit page only.
RATE - adjusts the rate of the arpeggiator / sequencer in beats per minute
(BPM).
GATE TIME - adjusts the duration of the note played based on a
percentage of the time between triggered notes.
CHORD - allows you to play any chord with a single key. The chord is given
a root note and mapped across the keyboard.
POLY CHORD - allows you to play multiple chords from multiple keys. The
chords are mapped to individual keys.
TAP/HOLD - tap this button in time with your performance to set the rate/
BPM, or press and hold to engage the HOLD function.
EDIT - this allows additional arpeggiator/control sequencer parameters to
be edited from the main display.
(6) LFO 1 and 2- low frequency oscillators used to modulate or control other
parameters.
RATE- this sets the rate, or speed of the LFO.
DELAY TIME - the duration of time which will elapse before the LFO starts.
EDIT - this allows additional LFO parameters to be edited from the main
display.
LFO WAVEFORMs - these LEDs indicate the type and status of the
waveforms produced by each LFO.
(7) OSC 1 & 2 - These analog full range oscillators create waveforms which are
the sound source of the synthesizer.
OSC 1 & 2 PITCH MOD - amount of pitch modulation applied to
respective OSC.
OSC 1 SQUAREWAVE- this switch turns the square wave output for
OSC 1 on/off .
OSC 1 PWM - amount of pulse width modulation applied to
the OSC 1 square wave.
OSC 1 SAWTOOTH- this switch turns the sawtooth output for OSC 1 on/off .
OSC 2 TONE MOD- amount of tone modulation applied to OSC 2.
OSC 2 PITCH- controls the base pitch of OSC 2.
OSC 2 LEVEL- controls the level of OSC 2.
NOISE LEVEL- controls the amount of white noise added to the oscillators.
EDIT- this allows additional OSC parameters to be edited from
the main display.
(8) POLY - this area is used to control the polyphony of the synthesizer.
UNISON DETUNE - when voices are playing in unison, this adjusts the
amount of detuning between the voices.
EDIT- this allows additional POLY parameters to be edited from
the main display.
(9) VCF - the voltage controlled low pass fi lter used to fi lter high frequencies
from the sound of the synthesizer.
FREQ - adjusts the cut-off frequency of the fi lter.
2-POLE - changes the roll off slope of the fi lter from the default 4-POLE
mode to a 2-POLE mode.
RES - adjusts the resonance of the fi lter cut-off point.
EDIT - allows additional VCF parameters to be edited from
the main display.
ENV - adjusts the level of the VCF ENVELOPE which controls the
fi lter cut-off frequency.
INVERT - used to invert the polarity of the VCF envelope applied to the
fi lter cut-off frequency.
LFO - adjusts the depth of the selected LFO waveform applied to the fi lter
cut-off frequency.
KYBD - adjusts the amount of keyboard tracking to be applied to the fi lter
cut-off frequency.
(10)
VCA - the voltage controlled amplifi er used to control the output level.
LEVEL - controls the output level of the VCA.
EDIT - this allows additional VCA parameters to be edited from
the main display.
(11)
HPF - the voltage controlled high pass fi lter used to fi lter low frequencies
from the sound of the synthesizer.
FREQ - used to adjust the frequency of the high pass fi lter.
BOOST - this switch applies a +12 dB bass boost to the signal path
(12)
ENVELOPE - these are the three envelopes used to modulate
other parameters.
A [ATTACK]- controls the attack time of the envelope.
D [DECAY] - controls the decay time of the envelope.
S [SUSTAIN] - controls the sustain level of the envelope.
R [RELEASE] - controls the release time of the envelope.
VCA - selects the envelope used to control the voltage controlled amplifi er.
