I love all my Behringer synths! However I’ve yet to hear a Poly D demo sounds nice and warm. Everything I heard sounds kinda rigid if that makes sense. Hoping some more demos come out but I’m in love with my Matriarch
Poly D is definitely interesting and affordable but compared to this is missing: 1. Outstanding treatment of workers at plant 2. User experience (operating Poly D is pain in the ass compared to this) 3. The modular connections 4. A delay unit that if it were a stomp box would cost maybe 250 dollars. 5. An extra octave of keys.
@@DaraM73 What do you mean you challenged Behringer? I'd be interested to know more. To clarify what I'm alluding to: I'm not saying Behringer's factory is necessarily treating workers poorly in relative terms. But we have to ask having seen the story about the i-Pad factory (a documentary was released about that which led to Apple acknowledging some problems and eventually opening up the factory to journalists). I am not saying Behringer are treating workers worse than other workers in China plants. But I am saying Behringer might as well make a statement about the conditions in their factory. I think all we know is that it's in China, vast, and modern. About the Moog factory, we know that it's in the US and that workers are paid a decent wage. It's clear that components are from China in both cases. I'm glad to pay a premium if I know that the Moog assembly process is not farmed out offshore and if I am confident that the Moog factory is a relatively nice place to work. It's obvious that without a factory in China Behringer couldn't dream of offering these prices. Maybe the workers are not treated poorly, and it's acceptable to the extent that you accept stuff sold in the west can be manufactured in China or similar low labor cost places. Some kind of premium for locally assembled product is still justified if you like the idea of retaining local manufacturing. So the labor is part of the extra cost of the Matriarch compared to Poly D. As a buyer, if you can afford it, it might make you feel good that it's not assembled in China.
NEBULA 069 I wrote to them, and questioned working conditions. (At Christmas there was a press story over supermarket xmas cards, which one contained a hostage note from a political prisoner working at the card factory). Behringer They seem to have best practice and oversight of pay and conditions at the core of production and product development. I’d say on balance that companies’ such as Moog have as much an ethical dilemma over sourcing parts as anyone else, especially rare earth metals extraction. The made in America (or anywhere) ideology doesn’t make sense because it’s not fashioned from local materials, or nationally sourced and produced components.
..not getting too excited about a poly moog because Dave Smith did that 40+ years ago.. still can't save patches no surprise.. yeah it sounds great but it's like 40 years behind on a lot of things.. come on moog create a futuristic version with great sound and current technology innovations please.. we will buy it just hire Dave Smith to get your synths up to current technology because they do sound absolutely beautiful..
That sofa though
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show off a few of its great features.
Where can I get a Minimoog sofa? Please. Thanks for this video. I own and Matriarch and a Grandmother, and I love to see people playing them.
I want that couch
Прикольная скамейка товарищ!
Amazing ! I have a question , which is the difference between Matriarch and Matriarch dark ? Only color ? Thank you in advance
Just color, yep
That couch is the shzt!
Behringer Poly D with coloured panels? Discuss.

NEBULA 069 so where’s the Matriarch’s components made? I’ve challenged Behringer on workers conditions already, if there’s more to add, please say.

Well done its hard to demo a synth without sounding like a shady 80's cover band lol
