This is by far the best musical demo of the Poly D, which makes me order it as soon as possible. Well done Nick, you made it sing!
By far...
yes i agree. Such Rich Textures. i'm getting that close to getting one
Damn fine coffee here in Twin Peaks
**sigh** And now I want pie.
Lol
The stereo chorus really transforms the Poly-D, from a straightforward analog sound to a spacial, ethereal quality. You really miss it when it's switched off.
Would be very happy to see more of these style video's of Nick playing around with the gear - even as a follow up to the review videos. Not a performance, not a review, not just mindless noodling, good production values.
Nick's improvisations SO good!
I agree. My favorite yet is the outro to Roland SE-02, he nailed that Roland sound so hard I almost wet my pants 😅
My favourite he did is the ms20 desktop review the end tune he plays is fucking amazing
like wise!
That was the warmest, richest, thickest, deepest, smoothest jam I've heard in quite some time. The aural equivalent of floating on a six feet thick duvet in a sea of morphine. Behringer get some grief for their 'clone wars' philosophy, perhaps rightly in some respects. But if they can create OSCs that sound like that, then they deserve some credit as well. The more I hear Mr Nick B play, the more I realise that he's actually an understated synth wizard. He's like the antimatter Rick Wakeman.
@JM Coulon If you think the Neutron is 'one of the best instruments ever made' you're either prone to hyperbole or you haven't much experience of synths.

😀
Ooops, rushing the upload before going home, that Friday feeling.. :-)
ff_polyd_zoom-final.mp4 will live on in our memories ;)
I'm not surprised Nick! Some lovely, lush tones filled the air. Put Nick in a rush to share!

@@funkdungus839 Haha! Well spotted! At least Nick's fingers worked well on the Poly D's keyboard!
@@Barefoot_Joe Inspired by a generic file name, really?
Thank you so much for these short musical breaks Nick. You really do make Friday Fun.
Dear Nick, always a nice surprise on the Friday! Inspiring, creative and very musical, like your soundscapes ! Thx.
Beautiful video. Very musical and smoothly evolving. I think you had lots of fun doing it. Cheers from Uruguay! 🤗🇺🇾
When the sound settled around 5:14, that is just absolutely gorgeous. Lovely patch!
Absolutely captivating. Been on the fence on purchasing the Poly D until this video. Just ordered it and the Zoom to go with it. I really do think my life needs more ambient reverb like this. Always a pleasure listening to your music Nick. Thanks for sharing.
Love the Poly D but anyone else agree that the unsung hero of this video is the Zoom pedal? 🤩
I agree! Lovely pedal!
This video really makes that Zoom pedal shine.
I found it glitchy and noisy. Pity.
That reverb is incredible, no doubt. Not gonna lie, I'm surprised that it's so good.
@@monomakes My own Poly D is the same - Quite distorted when on "Poly" setting. It helps a little bit if the VCO output levels are backed off a fair bit, but not much.
Fantastic pairing of the two. Dreamy for sure! Excellent Friday Fun!
"You Know What I Need In My Life?... A Whole Bunch Of Ambient Reverb"....... No truer words spoken! :-)
You forgot the most important part of that quote: "...and a synthesizer."
@@YomYestreen a synthesizer is nothing without reverb!!! LOL
Starting at 7:38 you can hear a nod to the patch he created with the MFB Dominion 1 “chucked” into the Eventide H9.
Beautiful playing, thanks for sharing!
Awesome sounds as usual ! Really like those dark drones and pads !
Please tell Denis Villeneuve to lock Nick in a room with the poly D & a freeze verb for 3 hours to live score the new DUNE.
I think the Behringer Poly D and the Arturia PolyBrute should be the exclusive soundtrack synths on Dune or any sci-fi movie this year. And also: 5:07 blissful moment of a happy accident
I keep coming back to this jam - so good 💯
Beautiful jam, Nick!
Always an inspiration, Nick.
Like special food for creativity.
Ambient reverb for the win! Great stuff and great synth... and just look at the Pulsar lurking in the background! I think these would interweave with one another beautifully.
What a beautiful sound!!! Loved this video.
Thanks Nick. That was really good. Nice to see you enjoying yourself :)
A beautiful sounding synth. Playing with the ambience reminds me of romantic scenes in old 80's dramatic movies like "The Keep".
Or ‘Near Dark’
Both Tangerine Dream!
Nick, followed you for years. Thanks for your no nonsense reviews. Spent a fortune, thanks to you. Xx
When you get shivers, you know it sounds good.
Thanks Nick - nice ambient end to the week.
Ethereal and potent pairing for the synthesist on a budget. Detected some Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts era M83 vibes around the 6:30 mark. Yet another in a long line of cracking Friday Fun entries!
😂Brilliant profile picture.
Don’t thank me, thank Axl’s low metabolism coupled with his descent into carbohydrate addiction.
Nick you have done magic with this synthesizer
I'd get on a spaceship and get lost in those sounds... ✨
Lovely, as always. Thank you Mr. Batt
This is beautiful, Nick! 🎶🎶🎶
What an incredible sound you've created with so little.
Awesome sounding gear perfectly played!
Superb, I would actually listen to what you're playing as a song. I really like everything from the sounds to the chord voicings.
It really is a great sounding synth too.
Lovely stuff Nick! Thanks for that.
Beautiful Nick! thank you.
Nick, you rule! Please never stop these little performances.
I’ve been dying for more examples of using the Poly D in this way. This is beautiful - just ordered one.👍
Getting massive Twin Peaks vibes from this. Lovely.
Ahhhh... blissful! Great stuff Nick 🙏
Really enjoyed every second ! And you can never have enough reverb...
Behringer certainly had a ringer with the poly d. Mr. Batt, your music-making on that synth is like a mini master class on musical synth-playing. Thank you.
@ 5.14 oh yessss, that is very nice! Awesome job Nick
Great video ! Exactly the type of music I want to do..simple chord changes like this with short leads in between...Cheers! Bill.
Loving all your synth reviews! Poly D is truly a magnificent synthesizer just like most of the other Behringer offerings! Truly excellent synths all of them and for the price totally unbeatable! Thank you👍
Lovely, lovely, lovely... I need to give that little pedal some more love... Friday fun for me will be to put the Pro1 through it. Haven't done that yet.. Thanks for the inspiration! .
Really nice one, Nick! Sounds beautiful! Kind of wishing I’d waited and grabbed the Poly D over the Model D. It really has a very nice, classic sound.
Oh don't be disappointed, the Model D is a great instrument for the money and to be honest, the Poly D is designed to be a little different, even tone-wise. You wouldn't be too crazy to get a Poly D at some point to pair with the Model D.
Cmon this is so fucking amazing I literally sat down crying man
You've inspired me to get that pedal. Thank you!
Yes us too - expect to hear it more on #Mairk tracks and at Controlled Voltage.
awesome trip sir, thank you
Excellent Nick!! You absolutely correct. I do need a load of ambient reverb in my life....
Thank you for this ... sounds beautiful 👍
Sounds incredible, thank you! The Zoom sounds really good, especially for the price.
I've heard people say it's not great on guitars but the MS70CDR is fantastic for synths.
My Grandmother and Matriarch sound great but not like a Minimoog.
Nick, fantastic as always!!!
thanks for creating
Fantastic demo!
You what I need in my life, a whole bunch of ambient reverb!
Keep on watching this vid. Fantastic - hypnotizing. Just ordered my second Poly D. Just for having it
08:23 the build up on this one is so strong! Dang it 09:23 brought tears to my eyes, Amazing Nick
Still coming back to this
Great demo of Model D with a very interesting pedal. Big thanks for this one!
This is the demo that really makes me want to get this.... proper brooding introspective ambient jams!
Great stuff. Your Friday fun are awesome. Verry nice 👍😉
Ive owned this Synth for about 5 months now, I also own a Moog Sub 25, a Korg Prologue 16 and a little Arturia Microbrute Ive owned for the last 4 or 5 years ( i love that little synth ) and I just have to say, the Poly D really does sound great, much better than I expected it to sound. I would say this is the closets you are going to get to an Actual Minimoog without spending thousands of dollars. And it has one more oscillator , its polyphonic ( kinda sorta ) and has a few other features the Minimoog doesnt, its definitely worth the money imo. The only 2 cons I would say is, one, you cant save presets, but thats not a big deal for me, once you live with an analog synth you know how to get the sound you want from it, same as with my Microbrute. The second con is just when you want to play chords in polyphonic mode you have to make sure the master tune knobs is tuned to your track and each individual oscillator is tuned also.
Literally never heard a Poly D sound so good. I'm copying your settings, i'm getting a particle verb and i'm going to town on this thing. Love from a fellow Brit
Why these sound make me so emotional? I'm not joking I've cryied at the middle of the video, this is magic! i hope one day i will get the money to buy it...
Great affordable setup !!! Thanks for sharing
That thing really comes alive when you bring in the chorus. Great jam.
5:07 That was a really cool sound... Now I want one so I can feedback the chorus and make it go nuts.
Really good Nick, you have a good ear for those emotional, sometimes sci fi droney pads.
Reminds of the 80s Sci fi shows like doctor who circa 1982 onwards
Beautiful.
Fantastic. Thanks
Amazing sounds!
Love these Friday Fun videos. Make me want to spend all my money on synths I don't need.
I found this sesh was very therapeutic, thank you doctor :)
Beautiful!
I'm really impressed !!! Nick is the man !!! Well done Nick !! 👏👏👏
Well that was a beautiful sound!
This thing sounds awesome
Gawd that's beautiful!
Each one of your videos is a masterclass...and I am a mussician for 50 years so far......
I love these Friday Fun videos, even when I don't care about any of the gear used. Nick can make almost anything sound great. It's hard to go wrong with Nick + heavy reverb + whatever synth is convenient.
Sounds lovely
Great sinth, beautiful demo
Again, Mad props👌 for using the zoom CDR once more!🎹🎧💫😵😎👍
I'm planing to get one of those... what other video is in?
Last week's Friday fun on Sonicstate.
thanx Nick......you are great
Great jam !
Smashing textures Nick. D should stand for "Deep". Into and through the abyss. Love it !!!
I don’t care what anyone says, you are the original and best synth reviewer in the tube Mr. Batt. Keep on rockin’. Happy Christmas 🎄🎅🏻
Thanks! Wait, who says? 😀
sonicstate Ha! Someone mentioned Loopop but I said sacrilege. 😄
dang, nick is loving it!
Trop beau; ça m'a fait beaucoup de bien.
Wow fantastic work!!! 👏😁
Just lovely, Nick! When will you release a full album? Thoroughly enjoyed your EP! Cheers
Very lovely
Love this demo. I own one and haven’t been able to make it sound this cool. 😂
Wow, that sounds so warm and lush....like slowly sinking into a warm tub.
That massive pad around the 5 minute mark. Great sound
Dominion 1 demo vibe. Happy to hear it again.
Nick you are so skilled its ridiculous
Simply gorgeous.
Excellent demo.
