Frequently Asked Questions
The aftertouch is present and usable, but lacks the nuanced sensitivity of a high-end, dedicated aftertouch keyboard – it’s more of a broad pressure response.
While it works, the Wi-Fi is best considered a convenience feature for editing presets; latency might be a concern for real-time control in a live setting.
The DeepMind 12 offers a different sonic character – less immediate warmth than a Juno, but with more aggressive filter capabilities and a broader range of tonal possibilities.
