A Complete Guide to Behringer POLY D Synthesizer
In the latest XNB video offers a complete guide to the Behringer Poly D synthesizer, a 4-note paraphonic keyboard that builds on the classic design of the Moog Minimoog.
While Behringer calls it a ‘Poly’ synth, it is a paraphonic design that lets you individually control the pitches of its oscillators. The rest of the audio path is essentially a monophonic design.
This video covers all the key features of the Behringer Poly D, including oscillators, filters, patch bay, LFO, envelopes, modulation, sequencer and arpeggiator. This is not a review, but is intended to be a complete in-depth guide to the Poly D.
