  • So another big surprise from Behringer in their frenzy of 30 years celebrations. This one is the POLY D and yep, it's a pretty heavily “inspired” instrument, that coming from the Minimoog of course.
    But with quite a big difference, and the clue is in the name, well sort of. The Poly D is a four voice paraphonic MiniMoog voice, with additional features. Paraphonic as in it can play four notes, but they go through a single VCF and VCA.
    Lets take a look....

    Things I wished for when I owned a Model D: The ability to play more than one note at a time...check. Aftertouch and velocity sensitive...check. Sequencer...check. I'm already in line at Sweetwater. All I have to do now is figure out how to sneak it into the house without anyone noticing.

      Sometimes with synth plugins and iOS synths there is so much going on that I get lost in the functionality. I usually find myself going back to the simpler offerings like what you get in Korg’s Gadget and some of the Arturia iOS synths. More is not always better.

    • @tristanawild380
      @tristanawild380 4 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I feel like a lot of Behringer's market uses a hybrid in-the-box + external hardware workflow; one where reverbs & delay are often best left after the synth is recorded in, so that they may be tweaked. Chorus is more of a timbral thing that doesn't extend the release of a sound, so I agree that it makes more sense.

    • @harrymerchant8944
      @harrymerchant8944 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The synth sounds very large. Adding the chorus to an already big sound (especially poly mode) will make the synth very difficult to blend in the mix. It takes up so much space, almost the entire spectrum.

    NO ! This chorus is a fabulous addition by Behringer, especially to enhance the otherwise limited 4 note pads, and even you find yourself using it in the video all the time. It is one of the things that what made me buy this synth. The Juno chorus is one of the best there are so this can also be used as a great effects unit.

    • @KRAFTWERK2K6
      @KRAFTWERK2K6 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah i found myself often having it turned on because i love the sudden Stereo spread the sound of the Synth suddenly gets and it's also giving it a bit of a unison sound too. Which adds a LOT to massive pads and basses. Still though... a multi-effect like the one in the Behringer Odyssey would have been lovely too.

    • @montag4516
      @montag4516 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Plus delay and reverb generally sound and function best at the very end of the signal path just before going into an amp or recorder. Having on board chorus (instead of delay) allows you to place other effects (such as phaser or flanger) in the chain prior to adding any delay or reverb. So yes, on board chorus probably was the best choice for many setups/situations.

    I think the poly d has a lot more character than the Korg Minilogue. It has a warm and inviting look to it, like a piece of furniture, and though I haven't received mine yet, something tells me the way it plays is just as warm and inviting. I do agree with him that having delay is what really will bring out this thing's true potential, which is why I'm glad I already have a boss digital delay. Behringer seems to have delivered with this product. Most synth enthusiasts have VSTs on their computers, and if we're going to buy a standalone synth it only makes sense for it to be a pure analog beast like this.

    • @shaft9000
      @shaft9000 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It seems everyone made an error in priority about this from Uli to the customers, including Nick.
      1st - it's not like there's some demand from anyone ever wanting a minimoog to sound like a Juno...
      2nd - It was an easy design decision for B using the June-60 they already make. Lazy, but cheap as chips and understandable.
      Here's the rub, though:
      A chorus does little beyond helping 1-osc/voice poly patches sound a little bigger and richer; beyond that purpose they have none but to create further smearing of the audio.
      3rd - yet-another delay isn't such a good solution either..... _but a phaser WOULD have been ideal._
      Why do you think the early Moog modulars were so often sold with that 12-stage phaser from the get-go?
      It is because a PHASER is better utilized in all aspects of synthesis:
      Much better to use with the noise gen, and to get 70s vibes from Jarre to Herbie to Clockwork Orange - all in one stop.

    I remember when the Behringer Model D expander came out i was sooooo close to buy one but i held back a little and was hoping there would be a keyboard version soon. And sure enough, Behringer delivered and made sure the double price would give us even more for the money instead of just keys and wood side panels. The keys alone would have been already reason enough for me to buy one but the Sequencer and 4th oscillator and even the analog Juno-inspired Chorus, really made me buy it blindly and i haven't regret it ever since. That heavy non-moog is exactly what i always dreamed of since i started looking for Synthesizers to buy in late 2002, when everything you could get was either VSTs or virtual analog hardware and few actual analog ones, as well as second hand vintage gear and all of it for insane prices. NOW really is the perfect time to start getting into hardware synths with the sheer incredible amount of affordable instruments. And i am soooo grateful for that. The Poly D really is a synth that really takes you on a journey and with a multi-effect unit at the end of the signal chain you're amazed what sonic landscapes you can discover. I cannot recommend the Poly D enough. It actually convinced me to give the Odyssey and the DeepMind6/12 a place in my gear list as well. Soon......
