Due to the Poly D's wooden chassis and primary color rocker switches, it's also a lot closer to the original Model D. Although Behringer's previous Model D clone was a standalone unit that had to be connected to an external MIDI keyboard, the Poly D has a built-in 37-key keybed. The Poly D is, as its name suggests, a polyphonic unit, so it can play multiple notes at the same time unlike the vast majority of Moog synthesizers, so it can play multiple notes at the same time. The unit is similar to Moog's Minimoog Model D, which Behringer has already cloned, but Behringer also included several options that make it a more flexible synth. To see this in action, set Osc 3 to Lo mode with keyboard tracking enabled, and pitch modulation to Osc 2 for a warbling effect. Because Osc 3's keyboard tracking can be adjusted, allowing a set frequency regardless of key, reducing it to its lowest setting, and applying a tiny bit to oscillator 1 when detuning oscillator 2 barely, it's a great way to produce thick, animated leads.
These methods will work on Moog's original Minimoog Model D and the reissue, as well as the inexpensive Behringer Model D module. The classic Minimoog version of Osc 3 is to change the tuning to Lo mode, turn off keyboard tracking, and use it as an LFO. The Behringer Model D is, ultra-affordable tribute to an iconic synthesizer with all of the original's specifications, and it's clear that great care has been taken in designing the Model D, which also states that the unit's matched transistors were used to make the original D Type' circuitry. Let's be clear: it's not because it's a well-specified analogue synth at a reasonable price but because it's a model of the Behringer Model D, which was released in 2016. But I'll test this too.The very existence of the Behinger Model D has split opinion, but how impressive is this tribute to the Minimoog? The Behringer Model D has sparked such outrage not because it's a well-specified analogue synth at a good price, but because it's a copy of the Minimoog Model D, which was launched in 2016. I hesitate to invent too many possibilities since I'm really not qualified to guess about the circuits, just an amateur.Īnyway, the switch off bleed - that's a new one to me, I have not noticed this behavior on mine, so you could be special. Voltage is leaking somewhere - the ground, maybe. That's kind of weird - the switch should be acting as a physical break in the modulation circuit. I did notice your osc 3 bleed with the switch off. The more video evidence, the better the response? At least that's my hope.

I didn't want to make a sound that may have to stay up on it for awhile so instead I fought with Pinnacle for about 4 hours to figure out why it's exporting greyed out videos.ĭid you notice in my vid how OSC 3 bleeds in modulation even with the mod switch off and not even being selected as the mod source? You can notice it at LO and the lower have of 32' you can even hear it and the LFO bleed at the same time.Ha - sorry you had a dumb computer session. I actually sat down to make music last night but the Boog was still set in a way to easily show the bleed.
I hate troubleshooting and making videos I got better things to do, like make music.
