Behringer DeepMind 12 vs. Roland Juno 106 - Sound Comparison

In this video from Youtuber Starsky Carr, we get a comparison between the Behringer DeepMind 12 and the vintage Roland Juno 106 synthesizer, exploring their similarities and differences in the tones they produce.

From information provided in the video’s description:

A look at how to get some classic vintage tones from the DM12 by limiting its functionality to replicate the behaviour of the Juno 106 that inspired it.

They’re not identical, they’re not meant to be, and the DM12 has vast modulation capabilities, FX, extra envelopes, LFOs etc.. so I’m not trying to show how well they match – but if you’ve got one and you’re wondering how to get some classic tones this may help.

While the DeepMind 12 and Juno 106 are very different synthesizers from obviously different eras, it’s interesting to observe how the DeepMind 12 can recreate some of the vintage tones of the Juno 106 from which it was inspired.
