- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Happy to present the Behringer POLY D, no speaking, no trace of reverb or any external FX, just what you want - the sound of the synth, and a run through of some of its standout features. And some prog-funk noodling. Cause it's a Moot video.
I'm glad you're here. Thank you for watching my video!

The "No Talking" format is perfect. Most of us here already know what we're listening for, and the rest will catch up fast. And excellent playing vs. noodling around.
Its nice to see someone actually play a synthesizer in these videos instead of just making fart noises with it.
Exactly...
Yes! Agreed. The fakers need to just go away. Moog nation! These Poly D's sound really good.
thank you so much.
The sound of farts is the most entertaining sound humans can make. But it's true that a lot of demos concentrate on the sound of the oscillators and filter sweeps out of musical context. End of the day, the sound of the synth _making music and in a mix_ is what matters and a lot of the nitpicking about saw waves and so on doesn't have much relevance at that point.
Exactly
I wonder how many Poly Ds this video has singlehandedly sold. By far the most amazing demonstration of this synth on YT, IMHO. Brilliant!
I appreciate that! Wish some of that money had gone in my pocket, lol!
and I wonder how many got returned because people realized they had to be able to *play* to make it sound like this!
@@mfnpjparty Ha! True!
It took me about an hour to even get a sound out of it after being unboxed. I didn't want to believe it was user error. But I knew it was....
@mootbooxle hopefully it was an investment which is paying forward. Brilliant
Came for the shredding, stayed for the shredding
Trueest
Hi, 45 year pro keyboardist here. nice to finally see a demo with someone who can actually play, a rarity, thanks! Waiting for my Poly D, my lovely girlfriend got me one or Xmas! Behringer, please release soon...
Wow…superb girlfriend she must be! What a choice…the sound is phenomenal isn’t it,
My girlfriend bought me one for Christmas too! We definitely got keepers for sure
@@neoaureus It's really good, I love it. It's set up next to my Behringer 2600 now, it's fascinating to listen to how different Moogs and ARPs sound from each other (well, Boogs and BARPs -- I wish I could afford the real thing!)
@@BossDrSample very cool!
AS someone born in 1971 but always into the latest stuff, this synth is both fresh and new while also being nostalgic in the way it's tones transport me back to the days.
Well said
You should be the only person allowed to do product demos from now on.
Agree he plays and does not have an annoying condescending tone as he baby talks us about captain obvious button functions and never shows sounds...Poopop ....
Completely agree. I still wonder if this is a demo, a concert, or a magister lesson on playing keyboards and sínths.
yup!
@@Rustik1722 I agree, but maybe the 'captain obvious button functions' are reasonable because a beginner may be watching the video.
No no no no no! Playing is atrocious!
Holy crap, he just turned on the stereo chorus!
...I'm sitting here drinking my morning coffee,... and suddenly your playing brought a tears to my eyes. What an amazing and unexpected journey through this instrument. Thank you :)
That warms my heart! I appreciate you listening!
You're in the band. We'll be in touch.
The guy demoing this is persuasive enough without even speaking. Huge respect. Plus this thing really sounds massive vs the price.
These companies should hire you to do all the demo’s for them. Instead of hiring they’re sales people to read a script and tell us in their videos what it is already on their website. Great playing man. This is a real demo.
You just sold this to me Moot. Your performance is absolutely stunning! let alone the super quick patch edits WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING. Just goes to show how much of a natural you are!
Thank you! I teach this stuff, you know!
Lol moot, I will forever call it a moot
I am watching this demo for the fifth time or so. I just love what you play on the keys. There are such emotitional chords sometimes. I love it, truly inspiring. Needless to say that the Poly D sounds fantastic considering the price!
I want one!
thank you so much for this kind comment!
I'm up to like, 10...even years after purchasing. Wish me luck 🤞
Thank you so much. As someone pretty new to synthesizers, simply watching this video taught me so much about how to get the sounds that I want (and also helped me make a definite decision about what I'm gonna buy!)
Vintage Minimoog chords on modern gear. I never thought i'd see that! Sounds great! Nice to hear it's paraphonic capabilities
the section around 11:40 is just incredible music
thank you! I’m a big fan of those types of chords and those sounds. :)
Agreed 👊
+1
Great demo. You're making me consider robbery.
2 years later and it still sounds awesome :)
:)
My interest in synths is recent, this is the best demo I’ve seen so far. Thank you
As someone who owns a real Minimoog and plays it daily, I can't tell the difference. And the best part is I'm about to sell my Minimoog and get two of these bad boys and still have money left over for some long needed studio upgrades. If I can have the sound I need for less than a fifth of the price why wouldn't you?? You'd have to be nuts. The future is now.
the same for me
Not to mention the poly d is polyphonic and the mini isn’t
For me my mini is really more powerfull on lead of course is not the same beast at all..
But this behringer is really cool funny paraphonic with séquenceur and cheap.!!
Great analog but again far from à réal vintage mini
Have you considered the reissued Prophet 5?
@@kunaikai
Technically paraphonic. Not full-on polyphonic.
from now on you will set the bar for how good someone is allowed to play synths to even be called "demo" . i wont take anything less you are the gold standard now.
Best Poly D demo out there. I've probably watched this like 10x already. Now if I could only find one in stock!
Came for the Poly D, stayed for your awesome performance. I think I'm gonna watch it again
You totally crushed this demo. Its a great sounding synth, but your demo sells it as an instrument, not just a piece of hardware to be collected. Looking forward to getting one and seeing what stuff i can come up with
Man this video flew by. I cannot tell you how many gear demo videos I jump through trying to find watchable bits, but every minute of this vid is super enjoyable to listen to while also being really effectively demonstrative.
I'm sure you've been told countless times, I'm sure you know this for yourself already, and I'm dead sure that you've put in immeasurable time and effort to be this good, but man, you are good, not only with knowing your instrument, but with music in general, especially if this is your own stuff and/or off the cusp improv (I couldn't pick up on any melodies or chord progresisons I've heard before). Some stuff reminded me of Yellow Magic Orchestra (If anyone's reading this I recommend checking out their self titled album from 1978, or even any of their albums, AND Haruomi Hosono / Ryuichi Sakamoto's solo discographies).
But I digress: what I want to say, if you see this, is that I really hope you find the exact fulfillment that you're looking to get out of your musical endeavors.
It's 2AM and I'm typing a heartfelt paragraph to a UA-camr on a gear demo video. This is something I would probably never do.
Thanks for the video, I'm definitely subscribing!
Keep doing what you do. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go buy a synth
¿Esto es una demo, un concierto, o una clase magistral de teclado/sintetizador? Para mi, en todo caso, uno de los mejores vídeos que he visto. Por supuesto, me he suscrito. Te deseo un feliz 2020 y una larga vida en UA-cam, por nuestro bien y el de la buena música. ¡¡¡Muchisimas gracias!!!
The keyboardist is fantastic. Visual effect gets a thumbs up also.
thank you!
Thank you for showing us what a skilled musician can do with a synthesizer. The Behringer Odyssey, unfortunately, showed me that I need analog modeling and presets now. My beginner hands still need to concentrate on "When the Saints ..." and other EZ Play music. The Minimoog sound, however, still sings like the sailor's siren call. Thanks again for doing a great job! Your presentation probably sold another one.
excellent comment! thanks Michael!
I love mine. I bought it used from a guy who said 'This is the best sound I could get out of it' when I went to buy it. It took me a couple evenings to start to get comfortable with how it works.
I only wish I could save the patches I come up with, instead of having to take setting photos for stuff I want to remember.
This synth produces some of the thickest, fattest sounds I've ever recorded. I also have a waldorf stvc, a rev 3 prophet 5, a deepmind 12 and a bass station 2.
I wish I was this quick at dialling shit in.
Thanks Moot for another great demo. I watch a lot of synth demo channels and most have little or no musicality when they demo a piece of gear. You always bring musicality and show the positive possibilities of the gear you use.
facts!
that means a lot!!! thank you!
Matt, you always play them. You really play them. No sequencer. I ordered mine before your video, now I want to order another 10
Moot!!! This is one of your best demos yet. This instrument is awesome. Thanks for showing us what this amazing little synth can do.
thank you so much bob!
This is really one of the best sounding synths i heard in years............................
So damn nostalgic, I swear I watch this video twice a week at least. I'm expecting my PD in the mail any day now and it's probably cos this video convinced me. I'll be analysing this for patches very soon!
that’s awesome Dyllan. how are you getting on with the Poly D now?
@@mootbooxle I know this is a year late! But I still love it!! There's always an application for it. I started off attempting to replicate Gary Numan stuff and ended up really appreciating its potential for sound design.
@@TheLardzard that’s fantastic!
I just bought a used Poly D for $400 usd. It still looks like a fine piece of furniture and sounds like history!
A hybrid Juno/Mini Moog?? This will absolutely be my first synth.
It sounded great, and then you went into poly mode and it sounded fucking great, no, amazingly fucking great. I need one now. You've genuinely sold me.
Behringer are doing a fantastic job of the last few years giving us some great hardware devices, more of my money going to you Behringer, this Poly D is just fantastic
You really made the Poly D sing! Knowing how to play really makes a difference! I’m extremely inspired to learn now! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The way the polyphony is achieved here reminds me of the Korg Minilogue and Mono/Poly, but with that familiar Model D look (which is only a good thing). You probably get this a lot but your improvs are stellar, especially here. You could take the ideas you've played here and have enough for a full hour-long fusion/prog album, I feel. Great video and playing as always!
MelonadeM thank you!! To me, improvisation is king! Just like this convo we’re having...we didn’t script this, it’s improv!
Minilogue has 8VCO's 4VCF's and 4VCA's. PolyD has 4VCO's 1VCF and 1VCA. I think the minilogue has a very thin sound when sitting next to a moog.
Mothy I totally agree...I like the Minilogue, very useful synth...but this thing sounds fatter!
@@imothy -- I love my Minilogue XD, but this thing (POLY D) is great-sounding enough to make me consider getting one sometime in 2020.
@@imothy That it does, I just meant in terms of polyphony it's still 4 voices. I do agree w you on the sound, even the Poly-D here which is more restrictive, it just sounds better, especially the filters.
Bruh!!! I can’t thank you enough for this video!! I just got my Poly D in July and have only scratched the surface with it...but your video shows just how AMAZING and VERSATILE this synthesizer really is. And your PLAYING??? BRUH!!...You got more chops than a butcher’s shop!!! If I can master coaxing sounds out of this synth even half as good as you I’ll consider myself a very lucky man. My goal would be to emulate some of the sounds of my all time favorite synth players like David Sancious, George Duke, Jan Hammer and Chick Corea. Thanks again for such a BRILLIANT video!!🎹🎹🎹⚡️⚡️⚡️
Moot you do the BEST performance demos. As a jazz player I appreciate it so much.
nubuck ! comments such as this validate my entire reason for getting into the “synth demo” world. Bunch of non-playing mf’ers out there doing demos. Thank you!!
Probably the most appealing of all the re releases - looking forward to what Behringer have coming up!
Guitar player here, thinking of diving into the wonderful world of analogue synths and I think you just sold me on this one.
Phenomenal playing by the way!
thank you! I don’t think you could go wrong with this as a first analogue synth, it covers all the basics and then some, for not a huge price tag!
@@mootbooxle Yeah that's what I was thinking, I love the idea fiddling with the knobs, etc. and seeing what sounds I can get out of it, I have loads of fun mucking around with my guitar pedalboard in that way.
mootbooxle Thanks. This answers a question for myself too about whether it good to learn on.
I appreciate the positive vibes you throw into these videos (and literally in the case of the little messages edited into them). Keep doing your thing mate, it's lovely.
thank you for noticing :) Blessings to you!
Kinda incredible Behringer makes otherwise inaccessible synths available to all
Dude i have one on the way. However if i didnt this video would certainly sell me on it. Your amazingly talented. No messing about. No chit chat. Great sounds. Music for the sake of music. I love it. Well done
Thank you for that great comment! I hope you enjoy your new synth!
Remember how fun it was being a little kid playing with your favorite toy? You could just play with it for hours. Yeah, Moot knows. "Now come on, Moot, time for bed, put your Poly D away...no arguing! It'll be there tomorrow, you can play with it more then." Sweet dreams, lil Moot!
m 10538 hahaha it totally feels that way still ;)
fantastic demo! I wish there were more like this with hands on and mouth shut.
you really ran through all the possible sounds here! This synth sounds fantastic, I might have to get one.
thanks for actually showcasing the polyphony, I don't know why other people were just doing mono solos
the polyphony is kinda the whole selling point!
Dang it Moot, Whatever Behringer is paying you or letting you keep the prototypes or whatever, it's not enough! I had completely convinced myself I didn't need one of these. Now after watching this I don't think I can stand not to buy one. : / Thanks!
Same... I need it...
we all need it after watching it, right?
Yep, I finally bought one. Thanks Moot Booxle! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Спасибо за самую содержательную и самую убедительную лекцию, лайк! Вспомнил Карла Маркса, который учил различать понятия стоимости и цены. Poly D самый богатый и самый нужный синтезатор из всех известных.Это по сути Minimoog, только ещё лучше! Надо просто понимать, где и зачем вообще нужны всякие синтезаторы, уметь сносно играть на фортепиано и, самое главное - любить музыку как божественное искусство, а не способ самоутверждения. Этот синтезатор далеко не для всех музыкантов. Привет из России/Советского Союза😊
This is by far the most musical demo I've watched on UA-cam. A very warm thank you for playing for us, with such diverse influences and great skills, yet managing to show how this synth works !
I never had any interest in playing the piano but this thing looks so fun to play around with that I really want one.
Well ,gotta give credit to the engineers who cloned it, coz it actually sounds really good!
Great demonstration of synth's capabilities. Synth sounds good too!
Subscribed!
this has been radical for me, ordered it right after I watched the entire video. THANKS.
that part with the glissando chords!
This sounds better than my Model D. Legitimately.
I bought mines yesterday
One of the best, most versatile/usable/approachable/musical analog synths ever.?. 🤔 I’m leaning toward yes 🤷🏼♂️😳
Thanks Minimoogs and Junos for all you’ve done for us over the decades! Your lovechild here seems poised to carry on your legacy nicely!
And Moot!... you just keep being you, man! lol/smh
Wow. This is an outstanding sounding synth given the price point. I recently acquired a Korg Prologue and MS20 Mini. Thinking about adding this one as it seems a bit different. I'm especially intrigued with the onboard sequencer.
Lovely. Excellent playing technique!
@@cthulholmhastur5317 thank you!!
@@mootbooxle it's been such a long time since I've seen / listened to someone with skills to rival the prog masters of the 70s.. Wakeman, Emerson.. I was genuinely blown away. Have you ever listened to "Eyes of the World" by Rainbow? Don Airey delivers a crushing sequence at the intro. Peep it! And thanks for the response!
Sick sick riffs on this demo.
Love your playing and the sounds! It's so nice to hear a synth demo from someone that can actually play chords and proper music! I love the tone, I just wish they would go all out with a full 6-8 voice polyphonic Memorymoog killer now! They can keep the base sound, just make it fully polyphonic. Love that chorus!!
I'm going to have so much fun with the polyphonic glide :)
I can get many of these sounds with the Micron, but there is practically no live 'hands-on" control of individual tones, takes so much fun out of the original idea of synthesis-creating unique sounds and playing live, such as Joe Zawinul did with his ARP Odyssey and other analog machines, in real time. Takes much more musical/creative skill than just slathering out pre-programmed sounds with a few button presses. So glad this concept is being re-introduced to musicians who formerly could never afford the original's price-tags, and many of the new analog machines.
AWESOME Giorgio Moroder bassline at 6:00!!! OMFG I'm gonna get one!!!!
you always killing it. cant wait to get my poly d
I actually began spacing out, too. And now it's way past my bedtime :) Great video.
Yep no talking just covering the capabilities of this great little synth with some fine chops and synth wizardry. All angles covered buddy I'm sold on the poly d
Hi Moot ;) thanks for the great rewiew of the Poly D,..it sounds awesome, been waitin´ for this rewiew from you, and i love it, the soloing @ 1.12 reminds me of George Duke in the 70´s Have a nice day Moot. Much Luv to you.
Cnl TAF I appreciate you! Thank you! I love me some Duke.
2:32 That metropolis rise though!!! Omg. Whole video was awesome but my ears perked up at that as a kraftwerk fan lol
cheers!!
I totally admire your chord progressions. What is your main musical project you're into? I'd like to study on keys. You inspire me massively. Great video here!
Thank you for your comment! I missed it somehow. My main musical projects are The MOOTS (you can find some of our shows here on youtube) and I play drums and occasional keys in a jam band called the Moonstone Riders. I also play with a couple other bands here in Florida! I appreciate your kind words!
Just… 10:25 you have the beauty of an 80s or 90s film score… as you play the Cmaj but arpeggiate (sort-of) to the 2 major chord. It sounds spacey but classic… really, SWEET… I like your flow, dude.
I know this was supposed to a product demo but I would honestly pay for a transcription of this entire thing to just play specifically on a Poly D
Definitely the best demo of this thing
This thing sounds amazing. I have always heard not great things about Behringer products, however, it seems they nailed the synth market and I have heard nothing but good things about their synths. If the build quality is decent on this, I totally want it. I have an MS-20 and a Moog Sub Phatty. I dream of a MOOG Minimoog voyager but I don't have that kind of coin. I also was wanting to get the Korg Minilogue, but when I saw this, and it's versatility, I am thinking screw the Korg Minilogue I just need this.
Minilogue was my first synth, and it's honestly fantastic but it's harder to obtain a warm tone like Moog synths and the Behringer "clones." It's got its own character but that also means it lends itself to sounds other "warmer" synths can't quite make. And it's still analog! After owning a Volca Sample + FM + Modular, Korg Wavestation EX, Casio CZ-101, and Behringer Neutron, I still loooove my Minilogue. :) I've considered getting an xd ever since it came out, but I don't think I could bring myself to sell my OG Minilogue.
You know how to play. This synth is fucking amazing.
Sounds very good Matt. Filter sounds smooth and warm just like a Moog LPF should. Great playing too as usual.
That chorus is magical!
Korgi Polymer it makes the whole synth imo!
11:30 like a vintage video games music :)
Yes soo dope!
wow you seem to have a really deep knowledge and control of synth technology
and you have the right sounds and access to genre in your keyboard playing
im really impressed well done thanks for the great demo
thanks for the excellent comment! I’ve been into synths for about 33 years and I’m only 37 :)
@@mootbooxle ….must’ve been crawling over Moogs…as a baby! Haha
@@neoaureus I wanted a Moog since I was about 11 and read about them...no one around me had one! My introduction to serious synthesis was a DX7-II around that time. I’m glad I was tossed into the deep end of synthesis from a young age!
@@mootbooxle …lucky you! I got my hands on a Moog at the young age of 41…I’m 46 now. Haha…recently they hiked the prices ! My dream was a Sub 25 , Sub Phatty actually….now your PolyD video got me convinced that THIS was what I was looking for all my life…. MiniMoog.Thanks man.!
I like the "Moot" videos, nice playing, after the Bodyssey i think this'll be my next one.....
Me too
Yo big shoutout to the youtubers who do sound demos with no talking you are all heroes
such vintage mojo coming out of this thing. seems so musical!
Ryan Melvey yes!! it’s got character for days! very inspiring to play and hear, imo.
lmfao get your ears checked peasant
Poop Titz Clearly you are the one who needs to get your hearing checked. Also, you have way too much free time on your hands buddy. Get a job so you can save up for a real Moog instead of trolling UA-cam comment sections. It’s just sad, honestly.
I love it. I need it. I cannot afford it.
But I can't knock the price for being a model D clone for less than half the cost
Loved all of that! Especially around 14 mins, gave me massive smile :D
BEHRINGER should pay you for this endorsement. I have no reason or cash to buy one of these but I'm pricing them as we speak!
wish they did a deepmind moog. i love the options and the memory the deepmind gives you. They should also go a better screen.
Deepmind suxx.
@@SPAZZOID100 Incorrect.
We learned how to make a talk box from you 10 or so years ago- Wanted to see what the Poly D fuss was all about and said, "Hey, that's MootBooxle!" Glad you are still at it brother- sick chops!
Still waiting for that Obie clone, any day now guys! :)

I bought mine after watching this video. Sealed the deal.
My goodness, do I want one of these.
im a bit blown away ,after coming from your older video of you unboxing your moog , wow man that sounded so good .. i know you had some reverb i think on that video ..
but i have to say , i flick through this video after watching a few chunks , and it does sound like a moog to my ears .. i think if i had a blind test id never guess that was a model D .. unlike their arp stuff which i think is easily identifyable .. still a great synth for money though im knocking that ..
If you put this on Spotify, I would stream it...
Jan hammer style intro! Great demo. Have been watching it a bunch of times already!
Jan is the man!!!
7:36, sounds a lot like the beginning of "You Dropped A Bomb An Me" by the Gap band.
I m going to get the Parody but still doubtful about polyrhythmic capability... ❤ Thanks for your great performance
