It's no secret this synth is modeled on the classic Juno synth, similar DCOs with limited waveforms, however the 8 modulation slots and three envelopes make this a powerful synth that is a blast to program. The limited waveforms are less of a drawback than it might seem, as it gives the instrument it's own character. Personally I am not crazy about most of the effects, but the routing options, including bypassing them, and the ability to control them with the modulation sources makes them a nice addition. The fan is noisy, but you can turn down the speed to acceptable levels. The keyboard isn't good, but it isn't awful, and considering the price, it is a non-issue. The unit does not have a printed manual and you will have to download the Deep Mind 12 PDF as there are a lot of features that are not located where you expect them to be. It is a great synthesizer and the price is not an indication of it's quality.

I heald off on buying for several months. I read every single review I could find. I saw all of the horror stories. I read all of the Behringer hater, posts. Finally I ordered the Deepmind 6. All I can say is WOW! THIS THING SOUNDS AMAZING! I learned the mod matrix, edit functions & effects menues. This thing is deep & diverse. Nice warm analog tones. Good keybed. Nice control surface. Built like a tank. Behringer claims that the Deepminds are the most sophisticated synthesizers ever built. I believe it. I have this synth producing sounds like several old school much more expensive keyboards. My only gripes are that most of the presets are aweful. Way to much effects & unusable but with some tweaking, they can be improved. Some of them are set to trigger as soon as the patch is selected. They have the LFO singing on its own. Easy enough to stop in the mod matrix. Several of the presets are duplicated throughout the 8 banks of 128 presets. Other than those issues, which do not reflect machine but rather the abilities of the patch (or inabilities) of the preset creators. Bottpm line is I LOVE THIS SYNTH. Best buy I have done in 2018. Glad I finally pulled the trigger.

Complex, evolving, lush pads. Strong, cutting leads. Massive bass lines. This thing covers a lot of sonic territory. The build quality is superb - all metal chassis with wooden end cheeks. The keybed isn't best in class, but its full size, semi-weighted, and has after touch. The modulation matrix leads to endless possibilities for sound creation. The FX section is massive, with tons of effects from well-known and highly regarded companies that Behringer has acquired (TC Electronic, Klark, etc). The basic oscillator sound won't floor you, and there are only a few wave shapes available. However, the way the FX are integrated with the mod matrix make up for it and then some. They really become part of the sound design and not an afterthought.This synth catches some flack for being Behringer's first real foray into synthesis. Say what you will about their previous track record, but you can't deny that this synth is impressive. It's well designed, well-built, and sounds amazing. You simply can't find something in it's class for $550.There is one reviewer posting everywhere claiming that the built-in fan alone is a dealbreaker. Apparently he doesn't know you can turn it off completely.Ignore the snobby synth daddies out there. Grab this thing while you can. It's really that good!

Although there are some things to like about this board, I can't recommend it. And will probably return it. First, the sounds: Yes, there are many "interesting" sounds, which may be quite useful for sound effects, incidental music, etc. But out of more than 1,000 sounds, there are only a handful that are "musical" or sounds that I can place in the context of "songs." That's not much of a recommendation. Thankfully, the editing possibilities are extensive, making for at least the Possibility of creating good sounds. Then there's the unit itself. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that it has a NOISY FAN! Maybe Behringer fell asleep in the 1990s. We don't have noisy fans anymore, certainly not in music gear that requires us to listen to the SOUNDS. What were they thinking? This alone is a deal-breaker for me. I'm surrounded by keyboards, and the only one I hear growling at me is this thing. It's gotta go.
