ENVELOPE - these are the three envelopes
(12)
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 amplifier.
VCF - selects the envelope used to control
the voltage controlled filter.
MOD - selects the envelope used for user
specific modulation.
CURVES - changes the ADSR controls to
affect the associated curves for each stage of
the envelope.
VOICES - these LEDs show which voices are
(13)
active as keys are played.
PORTAMENTO - changes the slide time
(14)
between played notes.
VOLUME - controls the output level of
(15)
the synthesizer.
Rear Panel
POWER SWITCH - use this to turn the
(16)
synthesizer on and off. Only turn it on after
all connections have been made.
POWER INPUT - connect using the supplied
(17)
power cable only.
OUTPUT L / R - this is the main output of the
(18)
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 off first when
turning your system off.
PHONES - the headphones output of the
(19)
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 off.
SUSTAIN - this ¼" TS jack allows you to
(20)
connect a sustain pedal, such as a normally-
open switch.
The operation of this pedal can be
customized using the GLOBAL /
PEDAL SETTINGS menu.
PEDAL/CV - this ¼" TRS jack allows you to
(21)
connect an expression pedal. The operation
of this pedal can be customized using the
GLOBAL / PEDAL SETTINGS menu.
MIDI IN - this 5-pin DIN jack receives
(22)
MIDI data from an external source. This
will commonly be an external hardware
sequencer, a computer equipped with a MIDI
interface, etc.
MIDI OUT - this 5-pin DIN jack sends
(23)
MIDI data to an external source. This
will commonly be an external hardware
sequencer, a computer equipped with a MIDI
interface, etc.
Quick Start Guide
MIDI THRU - this 5-pin DIN jack is used to
(24)
pass through MIDI data received at the MIDI
INPUT. This will commonly be sent to another
synthesizer or drum machine assigned to a
different DEVICE ID, or MIDI Channel.
USB PORT - this USB type B jack allows
(25)
connection to a computer. The DeepMind
12D will show up as a class-compliant USB
MIDI device, capable of supporting MIDI in
and out. The DeepMind 12D 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.
