Behringer DeepMind 6X Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

DEEPMIND 6X allows you to conjure up virtually any sound you can imagine with unparalleled finesse and ease. Thanks to its 4 FX engines, dual analog OSCs and LFOs per voice, 3 ADSR Generators, 8-Channel Modulation Matrix and onboard 32-Step Control Sequencer, the DEEPMIND 6X gives you complete control over your soundscape. Plus, DEEPMIND 6X features comprehensive remote control via iPad/PC/Mac and selected Android Apps over USB or MIDI – for a custom-tailored workflow that lets your creative spirit soar to new heights. The inspired synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and '80s are etched in the annals of progressive rock and pop music forever, making them truly classic in every sense of the word. DEEPMIND 6X’s pure analog signal path with legendary IR3109-style VCFs, stereo VCAs, and 12-voice polyphony lets you recreate all that magic or design the powerful, original sounds that just might make you a legend in your own right. And now with its updated look, you’ll have a striking piece of gear in your setup as well.
