the first demo ive seen of this where the user isnt making 80s synthwave techno music. This is exactly what i was looking for, that 70s minimoog tone.. thanks !!

Really a proper demo of Poly D,..Very inspiering. 25 years ago i lost my Minimoog model D in a tragic happening,..since then prices has escalated and to get hold of one was not gonna happen, BUT ! =) Then the Poly D was released, and i went for one and i love it to death,..it can do all things + more, Thank you VKS studios for joyful video, Love Cheers from Sweden🎹🧡

Дружище, ты один из немногих, кто доходчиво и понятно умеет представить товар в лучшем виде, красиво, интригующе. Любая фирма должна бы бегать за тобой с предложением стать главным её рекламным агентом, её лицом. Из короткого, буквально мимолётного и случайного знакомства с твоей презентацией Poly D понятно, что ты блестящий клавишник, знаешь об этом инструменте и умеешь на нём в сто раз больше, и должен, обязан с этим инструментом прославиться на весь мир.

Hey great video and much appreciated. I agree, there needs to be more musical videos with the Poly D. One of the best videos I saw which made me buy the Poly D was by a gentleman named Moot Booxle in which he is a great synth player. This is a great synth for the price. I'm glad it's in my arsenal.
Great video and demo! Really enjoyed the Aqua Tarkus bit in the tuned 5ths... and the sequencer bit in KE9 3rd Imp! The playing as always summed up ....inspiringly inspiring. 🙂 Now about the diarrhea gliding monophonic tones!
Hahahahahaha the Carrot Switch. Just reminded me of how few sense of humor the synth world has (at least good one). Plants I’ve seen, humor not yet. Ok, now I’ll subscribe and finish the video.
Couldn't agree more that too many demos of synth like this are silly noises. I like to hear a musical run through like you did. Your sense of humour cracks me up eg: carrot switch!

MAKE FUNNY NOISES AND GO "YEAH". Totally. 🤣😎🤣 Best thing about analogue synths, getting lost in the mayhem. My little old Jen SX 1000 is terrific fun for that. Thinking of getting a Behringer Wasp module currently. P.S. Loving the dawn chorus start-up! Keep up the good work!
This synthesizer is as customizable as one wants more. Behringer Poly D doesn't have the perfect sound of the minimoog, because Behringer doesn't want to have problems with moog. For that he gives you the option to hack the synth and be able to calibrate with a Minimoog. For example, the filter can be tuned to the original 1970 sound, to make the dioids act more informal. The envelope can be much faster than the standard one, but also slower, and the LFOs can be hacked as well. The hack is given to you by behringer on the rear panel of the Poly D module and with the screwdrivers you can achieve the unmistakable sound of an Original Minimoog. Also the synchronous modulation wheels and adj. it can accommodate better with the screwdriver, but few do the tutorial for the user, they just test the synth without doing calibrations with an original and show the sound it can make. I have the original minimoog from 2016 and the Poly D, I bought this Poly D to play in concerts and live and make very elegant pads, while the original sleeps in the studio to never take it out of the house. They both sound great. I have a Waldorf Blofeld keyboard + Waldorf Pulse 2 module, I bought this combination a few years ago before the pandemic, and I can only say that it is crazy to be able to combine them. Pulse 2 gives all the fat analog sound that a digital synthesizer like blofeld does not give you and it is a minimoog clone with a 24db ladder (skelter) filter, although there is a trick, because Pulse 2 is octaphonic, it has the capacity to play 8 simultaneous notes , it can make all the classic pads and it has 3 identical oscillators with 8 modulation slots, presets, editable arpeggiator to create sequences that can also control the blofeld at the same time. This alternative of combining a synthesizer with analog presets with a digital one is incredible, it was recommended to me by a famous deep house producer and I couldn't be happier to make really strange and impressive sounds. I recommend this alternative to people who do not have much budget and achieve a truly professional sound with equipment from a great brand.
@@SlavaChrome Yes friend, it's easy to do: I rented an original minimoog from a professional store in my city and just for one afternoon and managed to calibrate it using the Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Oscilloscope. First I recorded both in audio to know the differences at the time before and when it was more correct and sounded more identical I recorded audio again to be more sure. And that's how I did everything. recommendation note: We all know that a minimoog does not sound the same as another minimoog, because they are artisan machines and their circuits have their derivations with subtle differences, my configuration would not be of much use to you, although I could surely do it without renting, having a good friend who has a minimoog could help you. greetings
I liked the video, do you think it's worth buying over minilogue xd ? I would love to hear more of this in the channel ! btw i liked and subscribed haha
What a versatile device for just one letter! I've almost gained some pounds because of that fat sound; so maybe the poly diarrhoea will help to get rid of that weight again quickly ;-)! Thank you very much for sharing this awesome video, funny yet entertaining as usual :-)!
My Poly D just arrived this morning, since I have been caregiver for many years, and suddenly find myself, no longer caregiver, iykwim, I needed a distraction, can't play a note of music, couldn't even get it to make more than the farty noises at first, but it turns out there are quite a few videos up here, guess I'm off to find some lessons now, I should probably wait on tackling EL&P, maybe start with Twinkle Twinkle lol, though TBH, Brain Salad Surgery _was_ in my head when it arrived this morning. *Edit (several hours later)* Holy mother of pearl this thing is cool! I'm having a blast trying to find just the _sounds_ of the synth on different tunes, like the Tarkus coda for example, now if I only knew the notes, no, that wouldn't be good either, cause idk where they are on the keyboard. Thinking about labeling the keys, would that work, or is that a goofy idea 🤷♂? Totally flying blind here... 😁
shame behringer never added programmable memories or and reverb/delay on this even though the original never had that …. id have probably bought one but live would be a pain ! nice video all the same.. ive seen some seriously rare and interesting gear in the studio i had to subscribe !!
Steve is a legend in his own right
I am Watching You !

I like the "carrot switch". It looks like a really usable synth.
I found a lovely juicy raisin on my keyboard yesterday but then I remembered; I have an African grey parrot…….
I love your videos so much, and I especially love the ones about analog synths
Glad you like them!
Go Charlie Mouse. The marvelous, polyphonic, model d organ.
It's YOU who starts the birds singing! Good job, Steve. Love the carrot switch. Bloody brilliant bit of edible engineering.
Thank you Pete! - well worth the half an hour it took to carve one without it breaking :)
Wow, everything sounds so 70's in paraphonic mode! Love it! 💢💯💢

Thank you very much! Glad you are able to recreate your old minimoog sounds :)
Excellent rendition of the end of Brain Salad Surgery. Took me right back there. Karn evil 9.
😁It's always a special treat to watch your videos Steve!!! Keep it commin'!!👍
I like the more simple tones. They remind me of 70s television commercials and the musical themes to children's programs. Oh, and game show themes!

Thank you! As it happens we have a Jen Carousel c450 organ which has an SX 2000 built into it - it’s brilliant. - that’s going to be a future video:)
Brilliant vid, well done sir! Thanks for making something watchable........just wish they'd get a shift on and release their poor man's Putney, wahey!

Can you explain more, what to change, so we can get close enough to real moog?

@@inperfectsequence7840 yes, what to change? :)

This is absolutely brilliant! Glad you are enjoying it! Keep going!
Find a drawing online of a keyboard with notes on and print it out so you can have it next to you when playing
Does this synth suffer from oscillator drift like the original? Any kind of temperature change would send it out of tune.
Not that I have noticed
shame behringer never added programmable memories or and reverb/delay on this even though the original never had that …. id have probably bought one but live would be a pain ! nice video all the same.. ive seen some seriously rare and interesting gear in the studio i had to subscribe !!

The birds jajaja
super creepy death metal intro without sound?
There’s no sound in the morning until somebody wakes up the birds with a synth
@@VintageKeysStudio so it's you who makes them wake me up? ;-)
Cant stand knob rippers.
Can never trust behringer build quality, sometimes they just randomly break or set on fire. I'd always rather get the real thing.
They also have a tendency to use chopped root vegetables for fake switches
