Sold a guitar during the week (I spend too much time on here to actually play
), and had a few quid burning a hole.
I narrowly avoided my annual strat purchase -love them, but it always ends the same way with me realising they are not telecasters!
Having spent the last 10 months enjoying the ethereal sounds of the Waldorf Streichfett, which is the most easy to use, enjoyable bit of kit, I thought I’d take it to the next level.
Quick shop around and I soon found I had gone from a korg monologue to the far more complex Behringer Deepmind 6. It arrived yesterday and my little mind is utterly blown. The sounds are incredible and it is easy enough to make a good sound (or equally to make a good sound crap), and will by the looks of things take a PHD in physics to fully understand. Fun times ahead. Any easy (idiot friendly) tips from fellow users for a total newbie?
As always, can’t embed pics on iPhone but here’s a chaotic shot (if anyone needs a multi guitar stand, minus a Dali poster, give me a shout):

The clever (more versatile) stuff comes from exploiting the mod matrix and extra envelopes (etc), plus some of the more unusual digiFX that Behringer shoehorned in from the X-Air mixers.
Have fun.
I’m just at the earliest stage of editing existing presets, looking forward to really digging into creating something of my own. The mod matrix stuff seems a whole other level that I’ll have to get my head round. Definitely an amazing bit of kit considering it is from the lower end of the synth market.
Only the fx side take much work really.
My main tip... use the envelop shaping options. Can make a big difference.
The fist has the keyboard of course, the second is easier to take live (as I just mix and match 2 or 3 modules above the fantom and RD). Of course I could ditch the RD and take fantom and OB/P keyboard in place of it IF the project was more synth based.... Some thinking to do.
Shelf bracket would be a little higher (so I can mount it) and I can drop the table stand down an inch as well - so it would work in that regard.
i can never remember how to get pics to auto display......
