Behringer Poly D

The Behringer Poly D is a modern reinterpretation of the legendary analog synthesizer Moog Model D from the 1970s. This instrument combines classic charm with contemporary functionality and offers a wide range of creative possibilities for musicians and sound designers.

With its four-voice polyphony, the Poly D sets new standards in the synthesizer world. Unlike the original monosynth, it allows for the simultaneous generation of up to four voices, enabling you to create complex chords and layered soundscapes. The analog signal processing is based on authentic circuits, including VCOs, VCFs, and VCAs, which preserve the classic sound of the original while providing room for new sound experiments.

The Poly D's four Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) offer an impressive selection of waveforms, including triangle, sawtooth, square, and more. This variety allows you to create a wide range of sound textures, from deep basses to cutting leads. The legendary 24dB Ladder Filter significantly contributes to the distinctive sound and allows precise adjustments of cutoff, resonance, and filter mode.

The instrument offers three operating modes: monophonic, polyphonic, and unison. The monophonic mode delivers fat, expressive solo parts, while the polyphonic mode enables complex chords and pads. In unison mode, all four voices are combined to produce a particularly powerful sound. Additionally, it includes a built-in arpeggiator and a 32-step sequencer to expand your creative potential.

The robust design of the Poly D is complemented by an intuitive control interface with 84 knobs and buttons, giving you direct access to all essential parameters. Extensive connectivity options, including MIDI and audio inputs, are available to seamlessly integrate the instrument into your setup.

Thus, the Behringer Poly D is not only a tribute to a classic but also a versatile tool for modern sound design. It combines nostalgic sound with innovative features and offers an excellent price-performance ratio for anyone looking for a powerful and flexible synthesizer.
