A Modern Tribute to the Legendary "Model D"
The Behringer POLY D captures the spirit of the iconic 1970s synthesizers that shaped electronic music history. Designed as an accessible homage, it retains the pure analog signal chain (VCO, VCF, VCA) and the famous Ladder filter while adding contemporary features for creation and stage performance.
For Stage, Studio, and Expressive Synthesis
Ideal for keyboardists and producers from beginner to advanced levels, the POLY D excels in electro, techno, synthwave, pop, ambient, and soundtrack music. Its responsive keyboard, arpeggiator, and sequencer make it a reliable live companion, while its audio, MIDI, USB, and CV/Gate connectivity easily integrate it into any hybrid studio setup.

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Customers praised this synthesizer as accessible for beginners yet powerful. Reviews highlighted 'excellent filter,' 'great chorus coloring,' and strong distortion for monophonic sounds. The lack of preset memory encourages intuitive sound design. MIDI synchronization with DAW is easy via downloadable software. Price considered high, though Black Friday discounts helped.

A jewel that allows me to immerse myself in the work of sound synthesis. The filter is great, the chorus colors the sounds really well and the distortion makes it possible to make a very powerful sound, especially in monophonic.
The absence of memory on the synth is another element of the job because it requires us to know how to modify the parameters based on intuition and on our own auditory memory.
I easily managed to set the poly d to connect to my computer's midi clock to sync the arpeggiator when recording on Live 10. To do this, you just need to download an app from the beringher site.Automatically translated

I easily managed to set the poly d to wire to my computer's midi clock to sync the pegiator when recording on Live 10. To do this, you just need to download an app from the beringher site.Automatically translated

Mythical synth and in my opinion one of the most accessible in terms of complexity. Ideal when you start synthesizing with huge sonic possibilities
