In this video I take a deep dive into DeepMind – it’s part review, part beginner’s tutorial, and also has a “tips and tricks” part, highlighting 10 little gems hidden in this synth that may not be obvious from a first look at the interface.

It’s quite a long video, but there’s a timeline as usual both in the video and below so you can skip around to the parts that interest you most.
