Behringer Poly D Polyphonic

good

I bought this as I wanted a fairly simple synth with large, quick access controls. I had been considering a (Behringer) model D for a while, but liked the idea of being able to use the oscillators individually (paraphonicly) - something I really missed being able to do with the SE-02. So far it has lived up to its hype. Sounds really good (I presume the addition of polyphony hasn't harmed the model D sound!). Yes, its not truly polyphonic (only single filter/adsr etc) unlike the Deepmind with its individual voices, but if you think of it as a monosynth-plus - all the richness with added the added benefit of being able to do simple pads and chords. The simplicity of the layout and huge controls makes this a great learning/starter tool for a beginner in subtractive syntheses (like me!), with absolutely no menu diving or hidden settings.There is a limit to the sounds you can produce, but with the options of using both the LFO and the 4th Oscillator as a modulation source you can still have alot of fun). The chorus modes also adds to the overall final sounds. If you are truly after a polyphonic synth then this might not be the right choice, but for anyone wanting the 'mini moog' sound without the technical issues associated with owning a 45yr old synthesiser or the huge costs of the later Model D, the Poly D has so much to offer.In my opinion there isn't any other analogue keyboard that (in this price range) that can do the same. If Behringer has just stuck their model D onto a keyboard it would have not had the same success and at only 35% more than the original price of their Model D, if you have the space, the Poly D is a great buy.Cons:?I have not had it long enough yet to find any big issues. I am not a massive fan of Behringer's Sequencers and this is the same sequencer that is on the MS1, Crave and ODESSEY. It works, but I don't find it that intuitive and its a shame it is limited by its 32 steps. However, if you own more than one of the Behringer range at least you only need to learn its functions once :)

Brilliant sounds. Lots of reviews and great tutorial from the likes of sweetwater.comNOTE: you must be prepared to update the firmware as soon as you get it. Perhaps due to a part alteration. Keyboard will not function in the correct way out of the box, actually cuts out when playing a sustained cord while simultaneously playing other notes. Do not worry though, Firmware update resolves all issues so long as you have access to a PC or MAC with a USB A - B (printer) cable your sorted in less than 5 minutes, You-tube tutorial for the job is available too.

Ho avuto la fortuna di suonare prodotti Moog, questo Poly d é incredibile. Non giriamoci intorno, suona come un moog, le differenze sono risibili, quasi impossibile ad occhi chiusi riconoscere le sfumature.

Quick shipping, no issues with keyboard and this thing is a beast! So many sounds and it’s solid. Very heavy and quality knobs. This thing will last a lifetime
