There are dozens of demovideos around of both. But you are actually one of the very first to really take the Poly-D and the 2600 as what it is, a new synth without testing all the time how well the originals have been cloned. I own the Poly-D for a couple of months but instantly you've made some sounds I've never came across yet and chaining both together at the end was the idea, you've done some great performance there.

Being a big fan of the Mini, I'd probably want to own one of those first, I hadn't realized until this video how much Juno potential there truly is. Paraphonic architectures are quite cool, imo.

The original 2600 was definitely a performance synth, just laid out differently than - and with some different sonic characteristics from - the Minimoog. The ARP definitely needed its own stand though due to the form factor. Which IMO had a lot to do with why fewer live players used it back then. The Minimoog of course could fit atop your Rhodes or console Hammond or your piano.

You can own several Minimoons from the entire 10 year production range (and even the recent new productions) and they will basically all sound different one way or another. This is why it is so hard to really nail down THE sound of a Minimoog Model D. You can always only get it roughly done. Depending on which model you owned for a whole, your ears will always use THAT model as a sound reference.

Got the Poly D when it came out and it was everything i was hoping it to be. Originally i wanted to get a Model-D expander since it was dirt cheap but i was holding back a little and hoping Behringer would release a revision with Keys. And sure enough they DID. Wasn't disappointed. Build-quality is great, sound is AWESOME and it is quite a heavy instrument too. No plasticbomber like the stuff Roland spews out. The keys play fantastic and the additional 4th oscillator is a godsent. I don't really use the paraphonic mode though and often pretend it doesn't exist because i love playing it like a real original MiniMoog Model D. The Sequencer however is still a little enigmatic to me and i really need to always look up tutorials on how to use it. Personally i find the Sequencer of the Korg Minologue a lot easier to handle and fun to play. I am still unsure if i should get the Behringer 2600 too because frankly.. it doesn't really offer anything i need and which i don't already have. But who knows....

Other non- sound related considerations for me are, I will generally always take a synth with a keyboard over one without, and I love a nice wood and metal case. Two downsides of sliders is that they can be finicky to get to stop at a sweet spot, and those grooves are real dust collectors. Also the layout of the 2600 is a real head scratcher for anyone who grew up with the standard layout. And lastly, I could do without sequencers and digital effects on vintage analog synth recreations as well. Glad they didn't add memory storage for presets at least though.

ARP had two filter types because they copied Moog's patented ladder filter design. Moog caught them and they agreed to change it. Unfortunately, the new filter was nowhere near as good. So it's great that you have both, but the earlier Moog-like design is the one to use. Lots of people used the 2600 for performance, like Edgar Winter and Joe Zawinul. But it can be awkward to use on stage with all of the patch cables. It's really better as a studio instrument. The Poly-D lacks some of the ARP's modules (like reverb and sample and Hold) and the patch points. But it's much more intuitive and easier to use live on stage. If you're looking for maximum versatility and don't mind the complexity of the ARP, than you will probably like it. If you want a fat stage instrument that does 90% of what the ARP does, than the Poly-D is a great choice.

One of my VAs (Redsound Darkstar XP2) did have real fatness and aggressiveness (along with 8 voice 5 part polyphony), but the filters were a bit lacking and the user interface was atrocious. For someone who is into playing rather than sequencing, it was a PITA. I traded it toward the Model D. I’ll likely live with just that for awhile, if not forever.

The 2600 is pretty much Eurorack compatible. There are three outputs at +14V that will need attenuation, and when you are gating both envelopes through the S&H input on the AR envelope section, the threshold increases to +6V (gating them separately is +5 and +4V inputs).

Noticed it didn't sound like my 2600 right in front of me, had to look close, now I can replicate it. Also, using three oscillators maxed out on the 2600 produces some distortion, the intermodulation gets more obvious when you tune the oscillators some interval apart. Keep them around 75% if you want to avoid that. Of course both these things are musical, but just want everyone to be aware :)

03:04 They're NOT both semi modular... Only the 2600 is. Having a pre-patched signal flow is called a "normalized topology". The Poly D is a regular normalized synth following the classic east coast (Moog) architecture. Semi modular would mean, you can break signals out of the regular signal flow and can patch them to another point, that's not originally connected to this source, thereby altering the topology of the synth, like you can on the 2600, but can't on the Poly D. The Poly Ds four CV inputs and outputs don't make it "semi modular", as you can't alter the topology of the synth with them. Barely three minutes in and you already misinform your customers...

My only tip for demoing the gear is don't assume that everybody wants ballsy synths. The sounds with all those oscillators firing will kill a music composition completely. It's the subtlety of tone from analog synths that are good. Particularly in the higher freqs with ring mod and other added waves it sounds much better than VA. If you want to hear the arp2600 sing with beautiful tones. Use the sine wave as bass underlying tone. Make use of the ring mod at the vca as this can bypass the filter. Use filter resonance to create overtones. Play around with the osc freqs. The secret of the arp2600 is the ability to bypass the filter with what you want direct.

Was that opening solo from Frank Zappa. I swear I recognize it but not sure where. Also, the way I have heard these two synths described is that with the Minimoogs, the synth will naturally guide you to new sounds, whereas with a 2600 you'll have a sound in your mind and the synth *will* be able to repliclate it. You need a bit of planning with the 2600, but its possibilities are infinite. Whilst a Minimoog might be a bit more limited but its an excellent synth for just exploring and tweaking to see what happens.

I feel this video is a little biased. I tried to find a section which talks in any kind of detail about the 2600, but at any point that I dropped in it was all about the Poly D

The Poly D is the most enjoyable synth I have ever owned. I average a synth for every year and getting on a bit!

@David Ryan Funny. In the 80's we couldn't wait to get our hands on a real sounding piano! It's gone the other way entirely. I started in 1986 with a portable Yamaha FM keyboard. Had tons of digital and analogue synths. I could never afford a Moog Mini so, the Poly D is just a blessing. A synth rabbit hole if you will.

Love it! Poly D in the wish list. To be honest, the brand still does scare me for multiple reasons including historic product experience but having seen this… I just want one! Loved the Dm outro.

@D T Day had completely forgotten I had this enthusiasm. I had one for few hours and it went back. Instantly found too many issues and the build quality was awful. I later found that a firmware update could have resolved most of it but the quality was too much of an issue and added to my overall brand concerns.

I would be careful also with biased opinions. I have seen people who also pretend to be unbiased but they are because I have found some even lying about the equipment they had. Behringer causes bias because they sell cheap products and some people have criticized the company a lot (they say nothing when it is about expensive replicas from other brands). All reviews I have read/see say this thing is well built. Only the keys are not the best but nothing different than what Korg is doing with Prologue or Nautilus 61. Check some forums as well.
