4.10 Renaming Programs
1. To rename an existing program, follow the procedure above for writing a
program, keep the BANK and PROGRAM NUMBER the same, and then change
the name shown in the "TO BE REPLACED BY" section.
4.11 The COMPARE function
The COMPARE feature has two main functions:
• Firstly you can use it to COMPARE the current (edited) program with the
original program.
• Secondly you can use it to COMPARE and/or match the current position of the
physical faders on the surface with the original program. This is necessary
when you wish to maintain the sound/character of the program.
1. To perform both functions, press the COMPARE switch.
2. You will then see a page of the COMPARE menu. The page shown will be the
last page you used. If you have not used the COMPARE function since turning
the DeepMind 12D on, it will default to page 1 (shown below).
• If you have edited the program (i.e. changed some parameters), when
you press the COMPARE switch, you will restore the original stored
program so you can compare your edits to the original sound. Press
COMPARE again if you want to return to the edited version. Repeat this
to quickly compare the original and edited versions.
• In the COMPARE menu, you have the option to match the current
position of the faders to the positions stored in the original program.
If you do not want to match the fader positions, press COMPARE again to
return to your edited program.
5. There are four pages of faders in the COMPARE menu, use the -/NO or +/YES
switches to selec t the previous or next pages, or just move a fader and its
COMPARE page will appear automatically.
Page 1 shows the ARP/SEQ and LFO faders. (The Portamento rotary knob is
represented by the rst fader on the left.)
Page 2 shows the OSC faders:
Page 3 shows the UNISON, VCF, HPF and VCA faders:
3. Each page of the COMPARE menu shows a section of the faders.
• If the position of the fader matches the position of the stored value, the
fader will be black.
• If the fader does not match the position it will be white with a
superimposed arrow pointing in the direction it needs to move in order
to approach the stored value.
• There is also a narrow white bar to show how far the fader needs to
move in order to match the stored value.
4. If you adjust a fader until it reaches the stored position, it will turn black to
indicate it is now matched.
Page 4 shows the ENVELOPE faders:
Note: You can still select specic envelopes to match the faders, depending
on your requirements.
6. Press COMPARE again to exit the COMPARE menus at any time and return to
the PROG menu.

depending on the capabilities of the controller, it may be able to transmit the
following MIDI information to the DeepMind 12D:
1. Transmit Velocity information to the DeepMind 12D - This is the speed at
which a key is pressed on or o.
• Note On and Note O Velocity can be used as a modulation source in the
MOD MATRIX section to aect many of the DeepMind 12D parameters.
2. Transmit Aftertouch information to the DeepMind 12D - This is the pressure
applied to a key as it is pressed.
• Pressure can be used as a modulation source in the MOD MATRIX section
to aect many of the DeepMind 12D parameters.
3. Apply Pitch Bend using a pitch wheel. This allows you to lower or raise the
pitch of the notes being played expressively.
• The range of the Pitch Bend can be assigned in the PITCH PARAMETERS
page of the POLY menu (accessed by pressing the POLY EDIT
switch twice).
• Pitch Bend can be used as a modulation source in the MOD MATRIX
section to aect many of the DeepMind 12D parameters.

7.1.5 SEQ STATUS, MIDI SYNC SOURCE, BPM VALUE
(5) It is important to note that on this line there are four separate pieces
of information:
• SEQ S TATUS ("SEQ" in the example diagram) - This shows the status of
the CONTROL SEQUENCER. If the letters SEQ are inverted (white on a black
background) then the CONTROL SEQUENCER is ON. If the let ters SEQ appear as
normal text the CONTROL SEQUENCER is OFF. Note: The CONTROL SEQUENCER
ON/OFF control can only be adjusted from the CONTROL SEQUENCER MENU
described later in this document.
• MASTER BPM SOURCE ("MIDI" in the example diagram) - The Master BPM
can be generated internally (shown as "INT"), or the DeepMind 12D can
synchronize to an incoming MIDI clock signal from the MIDI IN socket (shown
as "MIDI"), or USB ports (shown as "USB"). If the letters are inverted (white
on a black background) then the clock is synchronised to the external source.
If the letters appear as normal text the external source is not present and
the DeepMind 12D will use its internal Master BPM until the external source
is present. Note: The settings for the MIDI SYNC can be found in the EDIT
page of the ARPEGGIATOR described later in this document.
• BPM VALUE ("BPM:140.0" in the example diagram) - The Arpeggiator,
Control Sequencer and Patterns use a system-wide Master BPM (Beats
Per Minute) Clock. The BPM is shown and will auto update if using an
external synchronisation source.
• HAPPY FACE ICON This icon in the far right of the line shows that the current
program has been saved in the list of favorites (see section 4.5 Favorites).
7.1.6 PARAMETER CONTROL
(6) ("POLY UNI" in the example diagram) - This is a fader representation of the
parameter which is currently being adjusted (or was last adjusted). The
name of the parameter is also shown:
If the position of the fader matches the position of the stored value, the fader
will be black.
7.1.7 CURRENT PARAMETER MIDI VALUE
(7) (255 in the example diagram) - This is the value of the parameter which is
currently being adjusted (or was last adjusted).
Note: The parameter is displayed here as a simple value (0-255) which
allows you to quickly compare current and stored values. For explicit values
please see the area at the bottom of the page discussed later in this chapter.
7.1.8 STORED PARAMETER VALUE
(8) (20 in the example diagram) - This is the stored value of the parameter
which is currently being adjusted (or was last adjusted).
The stored parameter is always shown in reverse text (i.e. white on a
black background)
7.1.9 CURRENT PARAMETER NAME/VALUE
(9) ("DETUNE +/-50.0cents" in the example diagram) - In this area you will see
more detailed information on the parameter being adjusted.
The enhanced information contains:
• A more detailed description of the parameter being adjusted.
• A more accurate value of the parameter being adjusted.
• The type of units used for the value (cents in the example above,
but could be Hz for frequency etc.).
7.1.10 PARAMETER VISUALIZATION
(10) (The UNISON waveform in the example diagram) - This area shows a
visualization of the parameter being adjusted (or last adjusted).
These visualizations are designed to:
• Help anyone with limited experience to achieve a deeper understanding
of each of the parameters while learning the synthesizer.
• Help the experienced player/sound designer/programmer to work
quickly and get visual conrmation about the adjustment being made.
If the fader does not match the position, it will be white with a
superimposed arrow pointing in the direction it needs to move in order to
approach the stored value. There is also a thin vertical white bar to show
how far the fader needs to move in order to match the stored value.
Note: If the physical fader position is close to the stored value the white bar
can be obscured by the fader.
7.1.11 VCA ENV VISUALIZATION

• SUSTAIN - This option allows you to choose the SUSTAIN MODE from the
following options:
The SUSTAIN input can work with a switched input which is either open
when pressed, or closed when pressed.
Gate Functionality - The SUSTAIN input can also be used with a GATE
signal from a CV and GATE interface or a modular synthesizer. This
functionality requires the GATE signal to operate between +5V and 0V.
Note: For wiring diagrams and pin connections information please consult
the guide later in this document.
• Norm-Open - Here, when the connected switch is pressed, the notes
are held in the SUSTAIN stage of all ENVELOPEs. In this mode the correct
operation is designed for a switch whose contacts close when pressed.
This is the default setting.
• Norm-Closed - Here, when the connected switch is pressed, the notes
are held in the SUSTAIN stage of all ENVELOPEs. In this mode the correct
operation is designed for a switch whose contacts open when pressed.
• Tap-N.O - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the TAP function, so
when the switch is pressed a signal is sent to the Master BPM Generator.
In this mode the correc t operation is designed for a switch whose
contacts close when pressed.
• Tap-N.C - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the TAP function, so
when the switch is pressed a signal is sent to the Master BPM Generator.
In this mode the correc t operation is designed for a switch whose
contacts open when pressed.
• PEDAL - This option allows you to choose the PEDAL/CV MODE from the
following options:
The PEDAL/CV input can work with a typical foot pedal, where the voltage
is supplied by the DeepMind 12D and fed back at a level which is dependant
on the position of the pedal. The further the pedal is pressed, the higher
the voltage.
The PEDAL/CV input can also work with a CV (Control Voltage) input from any
source with a 0 to +5 Volt output, for example, the control voltage from a
modular synthesizer.
Note: For wiring diagrams and pin connections information please consult
the guide later in this document.
The PEDAL input takes the voltage from the connector and turns it into a
control signal. The control signal can be mapped to any of the following:
• Foot-ctrl - The Foot-Ctrl (Foot Controller) is available as a modulation
source in the MOD MATRIX. This is the default setting.
• Mod-Wheel - Here the PEDAL input is mapped to the MODULATION
WHEEL which is available as a modulation source in the MOD MATRIX.
• Breath - Here the PEDAL input is mapped to the BREATH controller
which is available as a modulation source in the MOD MATRIX.
• Volume - Here the PEDAL input is mapped to the VOLUME controller.
• Expression - Here the PEDAL input is mapped to the
EXPRESSION controller.
• Porta Time - Here the PEDAL input is mapped to the
PORTAMENTO TIME.
• Aftertouch - Here the PEDAL input is mapped to the
AFTERTOUCH control.
• Arp+Gate - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the ARPEGGIATOR
notes, so when a GATE input from a CV & GATE interface, or a modular
synthesizer is connec ted, the gate signal will step though the notes of
the ARPEGGIATOR. In this mode the ARPEGGIATOR note duration is set by
length of time that the gate signal is high (+5V).
• Arp-Gate - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the ARPEGGIATOR
notes, so when a GATE input from a CV & GATE interface, or a modular
synthesizer is connec ted, the gate signal will step though the notes of
the ARPEGGIATOR. In this mode the ARPEGGIATOR note duration is set by
length of time that the gate signal is low (0V).
• Seq+Gate - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the CONTROL
SEQUENCER steps, so when a GATE input from a CV & GATE interface, or
a modular synthesizer is connected, the gate signal will move though
the steps of the CONTROL SEQUENCER. In this mode the CONTROL
SEQUENCER will transition to the next step each time a positive edge (a
transition from 0V to 5V) is received.
• Seq-Gate - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the CONTROL
SEQUENCER steps, so when a GATE input from a CV & GATE interface, or
a modular synthesizer is connected, the gate signal will move though
the steps of the CONTROL SEQUENCER. In this mode the CONTROL
SEQUENCER will transition to the next step each time a negative edge (a
transition from 5V to 0V) is received.
• Arp&Seq+Gate - Here the SUSTAIN input is mapped to the
ARPEGGIATOR notes, and to the CONTROL SEQUENCER steps. When
a GATE input from a CV & GATE interface, or a modular synthesizer
is connected, the gate signal will step though the notes of the
ARPEGGIATOR, and also move though the steps of the CONTROL
SEQUENCER. In this mode the ARPEGGIATOR note duration is set by
length of time that the gate signal is high (+5V). Also in this mode
the CONTROL SEQUENCER will transition to the nex t step each time a
positive edge (a transition from 0V to 5V) is received.
