User Manual

8 DeepMind 12 User Manual
(1) DISPLAY - this large backlit LCD screen shows the synthesizer status,
parameters, and the  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 e ects from the list available. Change the e ects
routing by selecting one of the ten MODEs available. Each of the e ects has
individual controls for all parameters.
GLOBAL MENU - view and adjust settings for the synthesizer. There are
 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 di 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/o .
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/o .
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  lter used to  lter high frequencies
from the sound of the synthesizer.
FREQ - adjusts the cut-o frequency of the  lter.
2-POLE - changes the roll o slope of the  lter from the default 4-POLE
mode to a 2-POLE mode.
RES - adjusts the resonance of the  lter cut-o point.
EDIT - allows additional VCF parameters to be edited from
the main display.
ENV - adjusts the level of the VCF ENVELOPE which controls the
 lter cut-o frequency.
INVERT - used to invert the polarity of the VCF envelope applied to the
 lter cut-o frequency.
LFO - adjusts the depth of the selected LFO waveform applied to the  lter
cut-o frequency.
KYBD - adjusts the amount of keyboard tracking to be applied to the  lter
cut-o frequency.
(10) VCA - the voltage controlled ampli 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  lter used to  lter low frequencies
from the sound of the synthesizer.
FREQ - used to adjust the frequency of the high pass  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 ampli er.
