Nearly ten years after the launch of the original polyphonic DeepMind synth, Behringer has celebrated with its new and updated DeepMind X Series.

Comprising three models, the DeepMind 12XD, DeepMind 6X and DeepMind 12X, the DeepMind X Series celebrates a decade since the launch of the original DeepMind with a fresh, new aesthetic, inspired, no doubt, by Roland’s classic Juno line of synths.

The 12X is a 49-key synth with 12-voice polyphony, the 12XD is the same but without the keyboard, while the 6X offers only 6-voice polyphony across a smaller 37-note keyboard. Each model features the same synth architecture as their original DeepMind counterparts, with two oscillators per voice, a 2-pole/4-pole, 6dB-per-octave filter and an array of digital effects.

Other features include three ADSR generators, an eight-channel Modulation Matrix and an onboard 32-step Control Sequencer. Each synth’s signal path also features legendary IR3109-style VCFs and stereo VCAs. Behringer promises these features make it possible to “recreate the magic” of the halcyon days of synthesizer-based music, or craft something modern and original.

The manufacturer has also included 4 simultaneous FX engines with over 33 world-class TC Electronic, Midas and Klark Teknik algorithms – including Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Multiband Distortion, and many more.

Altogether, 2025 has been a busy year for Behringer. Earlier this month, it announced it was recreating the 6176 Vintage Channel Strip from Universal Audio with the 676, a vacuum tube preamplifier and FET-style compressor.

Last month, it unveiled the RD-78, its recreation of the “granddaddy to all drum machines”, the Roland CR-78. It had first teased a CR-78 emulation all the way back in 2022.

That announcement followed the arrival of its Chorus Symphony pedal, which recreates the original Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble from 1976.
