bro if you talk 50% faster, your videos will improve a lot and you will get Much more subs... i put it at 1.5 speed, and when i put the speed back to normal to hear the synth it sounded like you were talking on slow motion. English is not my primary language so i believe 50% faster would be extremely easy for anyone to understand. Anyways thanks wor the video, i'll buy the synth thanks to it.
Commenting 1:38 in, but this is so immediately refreshing. Like most other TH-cam genres synth videos have become - understandably - very premeditated and overproduced. Love how this is just bare bones "Here's my noise box and here's what I done with it". Okay I'm gonna watch the rest of it now...
I really enjoyed this. And you are right, when you see a review, it's good to watch someone actually creating tracks and seeing how they create and use the sounds. I really enjoyed your music and will listen through those again. it's amazing that you've made those using only this Minimoog clone. Thanks!
Great video, great sounds and music. I have a Poly D and Korg Wavestate, Poly D is fun to use and Korg Wavestate is a disaster - menu diving is a nightmare. I have about 20 x hardware synths and love buying them - but these days I look for knob per function and minimal menu dive. The Wavestate sounded so good in demo videos I had to buy one - but now I rarely use it due to menus.
Haha, I totally agree that the menu diving on the wavestate is a nightmare. That's why I like resorting to the software sometimes to control some things on it. That being said, I feel like it's a synth I will never sell because I love using it in songs. What synths do you have? If I could have 3 synths, I would probably choose the wavestate, iridum, and summit, even though they can be annoying with the menu diving.
@@Songtweaker The synths I own are - Novation Mininova (nice but lots of menu diving - software editor is very good). Behringer Poly D - lots of analog fun. Behringer crave - great low priced synth. Novation Bass-station 2 - fantastic. Behringer Odyssey - great synth. Waldorf Blofeld - not enough knobs. Waldorf Microwave XT. Korg Wavestate - great sounds - lots to learn. 3 x Korg Volcas - drum/modular/FM. Behringer Neutron, Pro One & K2. Behringer Deepmind 12. Teisco 110. If I could only keep one it would be the Behringer Deepmind 12 - I love it, highly recommend it. I would love to get a Summit and Iridium but I need to slow down haha.
Haha! Well unfortunately, I will be moving soon and won’t really have space to keep extra gear. I might buy it back if I really miss it in the future, but for now it’s a bit too niched for my liking.
@@HOLLASOUNDS More like you can get 90% of the sound for certain sounds, and 50% for many others, and an impossibility and to even create for many other sounds. Unfortunately, you get 50% of the feel of an analog synth (I mean for both playing, and for listening to a song in a mix) with a vst, and 50% or less of the inspiration to play and create sounds with a vst. It’s really not even comparable, even for a cheap Behringer synth. Compared to a real Model D … forget about it.
use HP filter on a kick...set cutoff somewhere low to the taste and resonance somewhere where it starts to self oscillate...THEN add some distortion! ;) ...and play around with filter envelope!
Same since I got mine I just record everything and it all sounds good and inspiring to keep going. I don’t even miss patch saving because a few turns of the knobs and BAM another great sound that takes zero effort to sound great in the mix. I cry thinking of those hours wasted massaging my softsynths into sounding even remotely close to what you get out of the gate with a real analog.
Great concise and informative video. Love the approach. The only thing I would have appreciated is hearing the a sample of the beat you created first, and hearing it for a little bit longer. This would help to focus on the sounds you created in context first and then would be able to pay attention to the sounds of interest more closely during the tutorial section. It's a minor constructive criticism only offered to help. Thanks for this vid.
Were you able to check out the full versions of all the songs I linked? It seems like many people aren’t noticing it. I’ll make sure to try to do that next time since it will probably work better, thank you for the suggestion!
How is this powered ? I'm considering buying one but have bod idea if I need anything other than what's in the box to get started, any advice would be cool 😎
It comes with a power cable, but you need headphones or speakers to hear the sound. Additionally, if you want to record it directly, you might need an audio interface.
If you have a more instructive video about the poly d in particular please let me know. Or please get a hold of me. I need help. You’re getting fantastic sounds
So sorry for the late response, but thank you! If I'm being honest, I haven't touched the synth in almost a year so I probably won't be much help now. Thanks for watching!
Hey man. I’m trying to record an album and you seem to get this machine way better than me. I’d love to get in touch. If you could just give me a half hour I’ll give you production credit. I just need help getting started. I make a good song and then it just sounds like aliens choking.
If you've listened to the album and watched through the video, I think I go pretty in depth about how to make all the sounds and how I integrated them into the songs.
I got 2 boog model D's (got them before the poly D was a thing fml lmao) and I just can't understand why this thing sounds so rich. Like anytime I reach for it, I never get dissapointed. Makes me wanna make .clipping style beats and such. I got a good handful of synths but I got no clue why such an old design sounds so much richer than a lot of the modern stuff I got It just sounds exactly like a synth in my head i dunno. No dedicated PWM (there's an EASY mod for that it's P sick) not alot of controls and just vvv simple but like it's so so so easy to get good sounds out of it. Poly D sounds incredible but I ain't probably gonna get it
People bash and say things how bad and terrible company Behringer is Then there is Poly D what is one of most selling synths on the market, even to this day Of course people do not say anything about this synth because it is good but it is made by Behringer
You obviously had fun with it and you made some great songs. Well done. Take some advice from an older synth head...DON'T sell it dude. You'll regret it in years to come...trust me. ;)
I would consider keeping it, however I need the money for more important things, like a full version daw (using trial Ableton rn) and also having some space issues. I think the biggest driving factor is that I haven't found a use for it in any of my songs since I made this video. It deserves to be enjoyed by someone else rather than collecting dust with me!
@@Songtweaker Fair enough. Keep chasing the dream mate. I'm certainly hearing you with the space issues. Now that I "hoard" synths in my old age I have to suck my gut in just to get into the studio. ;)
I mentioned to go listen to the full versions first in many places. Here it is again th-cam.com/play/PLdPyNEKY6DOUokjAk8e0wHD_VevrUUnDg.html apologies for making it so confusing.
He told you to go listen to the song before watching the video. This video is literally made to explain it not to play and I am pretty sure most of us want to hear how he made his patches and just his thoughts on them. These are really helpful for beginners and intermidiete producers.
CHECK OUT THE ALBUM FIRST!!!!! IT IS NEEDED TO WATCH THE REST OF THE VIDEO!!!

If you sell it, you'll miss it. And later on, regret it. Trust me, keep it. Nice work!
Fuck. I was thinking of selling to upgrade 😅
Haha! Well unfortunately, I will be moving soon and won’t really have space to keep extra gear. I might buy it back if I really miss it in the future, but for now it’s a bit too niched for my liking.

Im.not gonna sell it thats my birthday gift

Sold mine to buy a Moog grandmother when they had a sale. Miss the Poly D and may pick up another in the future
ooh, I could see myself doing the same!
Sounds so good dude
Very nice! Thanks for this upload 🙂

I think that's one of the advantages of this synth, that it's so easy to make good sounds. It's great for inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
14:40 sound effects reminded me of Klaus Schulze's dune tracks beginning. Cool stuff
it's some pretty crazy stuff! Glad you enjoyed!
Your tracks naming is top
Awesome! Thanks so much for this vid!
You are so good at sound design, SUBBED!!
Brilliant video, great work mate 👍
Fantastic video!
one day I'll buy this gem. Thanks for the video, mate. Best!
Forbidden Planet sounds . Love my D paired with Moog Sub s37
Great video man. Loved listening to it. You are just so into what you are doing. Love it.

@@eafortson I apologize for that. I will try to make it more clear.
Great job!
How is this powered ? I'm considering buying one but have bod idea if I need anything other than what's in the box to get started, any advice would be cool 😎
It comes with a power cable, but you need headphones or speakers to hear the sound. Additionally, if you want to record it directly, you might need an audio interface.
Love the video. I just picked one up. Can you recommend a good flight case for it? I really want to keep it safe.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I wouldn't have a good case suggestion, back when I had it I never moved it around.
What kind of reverb was that on the pad? It changed the sound pretty radically!
At what spot in the video? I just used reverb from Ableton with a bit of tweaking.
Nice video ! When you use the sequencer on the poly D you have to always change the parameter on synth tool or it’s automatic ?
I was changing parameters, but you can also connect it to usb I believe. I haven't really gotten it to work though. Thanks for watching!
That choppy bass reminds me of the recognizers in the original tron movie
Ooow what’s that software you’re using? Only tried FL Studio & it’s complicated as heck.
Ableton Live 11 Suite, but it was a trial, since it's really expensive.
@@Songtweaker oh cheers. I’ll check it out. I’ll probably join you on the trial front then 👍🏼
Just keep in mind after 90 days you won’t be able to use it and won’t be able to edit your projects.
"All you bass belong to us!"
Does the Poly D really have the heft and low end of the Minimoog?
I've never tried a Minimoog, so I can't say whether it does or not, but I've heard that it comes really close!
I thought it had that potential, but haven't pulled the trigger on it.
Great Demo Sir! I have a Korg Wavestate and Roland System 1. Poly D looks fun, but not for me as well. I love having presets.
"I love having presets"
You lazy bastard!
(Joking ;))
On the deepmind 12 and Little Phatty having presets is a godsend. I wish the subharmonicon was at least reproducible when setting all knobs the same
Enjoyed this! Have a new Poly D coming tomorrow and am excited to experiment.
I am so happy you did! Have fun with it!
I could feel it ;)
What editing software do you use?
A very old version of Vegas Pro, would not recommend.
I want that synth so badly…cannot afford it now 😢
If you have a more instructive video about the poly d in particular please let me know. Or please get a hold of me. I need help. You’re getting fantastic sounds
So sorry for the late response, but thank you! If I'm being honest, I haven't touched the synth in almost a year so I probably won't be much help now. Thanks for watching!
I might be missing it but did you have links to the songs? Cheers.
th-cam.com/play/PLdPyNEKY6DOUokjAk8e0wHD_VevrUUnDg.html
It's in the description, comments, and playlists. Thanks for listening!
a moon slim phatty is a good alternative that has patch memory.
Unfortunately it’s discontinued…
next time do ableton in vmware or something so you can just hit pause and spoof the calendar lol :D thanks for making this video, it's great!
haha I never thought about that. Thanks for watching!
Which software are you using for song editing?
Using the free trial of ableton.
This one of my favorite synths that I don’t have….
19:17 Every 80s sci fiction series soundtrack.
haha totally!
Nice work frequency slave

I agree. I love how it's so simple which lets you make great sounds so easily!
The neutron sounds even better imo, but I absolutely love the Model D filter countour, attack & decay section so many sweet spots
So is this basically a mini moog?
Yes, it’s a clone.
Is this a play on words of “Pauly D”?
