(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 amplier.
VCF - selects the envelope used to control the
voltage controlled lter.
MOD - selects the envelope used for user
specic modulation.
CURVES - changes the ADSR controls to
aect the associated curves for each stage of
the envelope.
(13) VOICES - these LEDs show which voices are
active as keys are played.
(14) OCTAVE - these LEDs show the octave shift
applied to the keyboard.
(15) PORTAMENTO - changes the slide time
between played notes.
(16) VOLUME - controls the output level of
the synthesizer.
(17) OCTAVE UP/DOWN - raise or lower the
keyboard’s pitch range in steps of an octave.
(18) PITCH BEND WHEEL - this spring loaded
wheel allows you to lower / raise the
pitch expressively.
(19) MOD WHEEL - used for expressive modulation
of parameters.
(20) KEYS - 49 semi-weighted full-size keys
featuring expressive velocity and after-touch.

(21) POWER INPUT - connect using the supplied
power cable only.
(22) POWER SWITCH - use this to turn the
synthesizer on and o. Only turn it on after all
connections have been made.
(23) OUTPUT L / R - this is the main output of the
synthesizer. It should be connected to your
audio interface or sound system. Remember
to turn your monitors / loudspeakers on last
when turning on your system and turn your
monitors / loudspeakers o rst when turning
your system o.
(24) PHONES - the headphones output of
the synthesizer follows the main output.
Connect your headphones here. Ensure
the volume control is at minimum when
putting on headphones or when turning the
synthesizer on or o.
(25) SUSTAIN - this ¼" TS jack allows you to
connect a sustain pedal, such as a normally-
open switch. The operation of this pedal
can be customized using the GLOBAL /
PEDAL SETTINGS menu.
(26) PEDAL/CV - this ¼" TRS jack allows you to
connect an expression pedal. The operation
of this pedal can be customized using the
GLOBAL / PEDAL SETTINGS menu.
(27) MIDI IN - this 5-pin DIN jack receives
MIDI data from an external source. This
will commonly be an external hardware
sequencer, a computer equipped with a MIDI
interface, etc.
(28) MIDI OUT - this 5-pin DIN jack sends MIDI
data to an external source. This will commonly
be an external hardware sequencer, a
computer equipped with a MIDI interface, etc.
(29) MIDI THRU - this 5-pin DIN jack is used to
pass through MIDI data received at the MIDI
INPUT. This will commonly be sent to another
synthesizer or drum machine assigned to a
dierent DEVICE ID, or MIDI Channel.
(30) USB PORT - this USB type B jack allows
connection to a computer. The DeepMind 12
will show up as a class-compliant USB MIDI
device, capable of supporting MIDI in and
out. The DeepMind 12 does not require any
additional drivers to work with Windows,
Android, MacOS and iOS devices.
USB MIDI IN - accepts incoming MIDI data
from an application.
USB MIDI OUT - sends MIDI data
to an application.
