Behringer MonoPoly vs. Poly D (Review/Comparison)

[@Jobotubular]

Watched this video in 2021, decided to get Mono Poly ... wondered why I'd been so convinced, then realized how much it matters to run these things through reverb and delay. Then a friend got the Poly D, which convinced me to get one as well. "Get both" was evidently the best answer. Now I'm watching this again :)

[@JohnTrasher]

Haha... Thanks for sharing your inevitable journey of GAS! :D

[@Jobotubular]

@@JohnTrasher -- It's not GAS if I actually use them ... right? please say that's right :) I did get the Poly D via trade for a handful of Volcas, so it was actually a *reduction* of gear ... at least, until the next wave of Behri releases in November. Anyway: thanks for your helpful video, which I will now be re-enacting at home.

[@Jobotubular]

@@VeloVios - wouldn't it be great if I had a good answer to that? But I didn't find the Poly D rewarding for me and traded it away, and neither has made it into a track for me. MP still highly interesting for its modulation possibilities

[@georgegeez8708]

Jooooooohn!!! Hands down you have to be the man right now on youtube for being the first one to put those 2 synths next to each other. Not even Behringer has those bragging rights. Lol. Great video. On behalf of all the Behringer synth enthusiasts, thank you very much. Keep it coming.

[@violian5]

Thank you so much for putting together a comprehensive video showing the differences. I ended up just getting the Poly-D because the knob interface/layout just looks more intuitive and better laid out.

[@JohnTrasher]

Welcome! I kept the poly d as well, however i really loved the fm sound.. :)

[@uvoikimovundutrauerblume3302]

They are both good , the Korg sound was always more my taste . More a New wave sound .

[@JohnTrasher]

[@ralphk.j7809]

@@JohnTrasher which one did you keep?

[@squillium7149]

I’m pretty sure you can fix the MonoPoly’s more muted tone by tuning the filters frequency. Starsky Carr has a good tutorial showing how he did it.

[@mattg082]

For sure! I sat with mine on the factory for a day. But the cutoff seem to really not be that sensitive and jump from a muted to open sound fast. Now I have it up to 20khz, giving it more room to fine dial in. I def recommend at least setting it to 15khz. It’s a very nice synth, and something that I could grab basics right away. But the fx section is where I’m learning a bit more daily. If you spend enough time with some effects. You can make some really leads! The organ sound is impressive as well for dark moody stuff. I have a model d. I’d say the Monopoly for me works in a band setting for indie rock stuff. The model d does as well..but not as easily. I spend a good amount of time getting the model d sound I want crafted. The Monopoly, you can kinda run with it out the box....if not getting crazy with the effects.

[@JohnTrasher]

Which one would you prefer? Intro 0:00 Bass 0:32 Pads 5:00 Organ/Brass: 7:50 Waveform Shapes: 08:15 Detune: 11:14 FM FX: 12:07 Arpreggiator 13:45 Conclusion: 15:23 Outro 16:26

[@edvraum4033]

the poly D tbh...

[@validcore]

MonoPoly. OSC sync opens up the possibilities & not having it on any synth limits all modulations(except filter & PW) to very tiny knob turns or you're unable to play in tune.

[@JohnTrasher]

@@validcore the tuning of the poly is unproblematic though, once it has warmed up After 10 minutes or so and remains quite stable

I love the organ/ brass sound it sounds so harmonically rich, simple yet beautiful and complex

I prefer the MonoPoly, I like (what sounds like) the extra brightness and bite.

Welcome! What are your thoughts?

[@luisantonioof]

Watching your comparison I would think the Poly D has warmer sound than the Monopoly but this one offers more versatility to control the sound, both are awesome machines 😍, whats your conclusion of the utility for both?

[@JohnTrasher]

The harshness can be tweaked with a filter offset at the back of the unit. I kept the poly D because i had only space for one.

Very nice, thank you! Maybe you can do another one with punchy sequnces?

[@digi-tom]

Poly D sounds better... my opinion! I know you can’t really compare these two synths but if I had a choice... Poly D wins 👍 good Video!

[@inspir.edmusic]

Thank you!! Just what I was looking for... Is there one you like more? They both seem to compliment each-other when played together. The Poly D has lots of character and warmth, and the MP has lots of bite and energy.

[@JohnTrasher]

If you only have 700€ to spend i would go with the poly D bc of the chorus and distortion/moogysound. I already used it in all of my own songvideos here if you want to check it out. I used it mainly for bass Riffs. The MP has some other fields it excels, especially with the fm/fx section you can make really aggressive Sounds. The pwm is also a cool feature for more komplex/changing arp Sounds like in the beginning of this video :)

[@astolfi]

​@@JohnTrasher Thank you! My doubt was precisely this! :) maybe you could pin your reply... Loved the video and now I want both!

[@eligioelini9194]

thank you for this comparison. i think behringer's were very good in both cases. they gave the right sound to both instruments. the monopoly has the personality of the korg while the poly d is Moog. thanks again. now i know what to buy!

[@JohnTrasher]

Which will it be?

[@eligioelini9194]

@@JohnTrasher in my case the poly d. I did not want to clarify it before because in a short comment it did not seem correct. both machines are valid and the differences that you have highlighted allow each one to understand which is the most appreciated sound. korg has a more "oriental" sound, more refined on the treble, Moog is "fat" like American cars ...

[@eligioelini9194]

.... with Korg you can be more "bad" and express more grit. with Moog you can explore a softness and an unmatched expressiveness. this is my opinion. I am a 60 year old amateur and recently started playing keyboards again. I'm struggling to learn the final part of Keith Emerson's Lucki Man ....

[@johnhawranick8097]

Thank you for this review/comparison! I have been looking into getting a "solo" synth for my stack and I wondered how these two would compare as they seem to have similar superficial attributes. For my part, I think I will go toward the Poly D. While I'm sure I might experiment with the para-polyphony, I'm mostly interested in the mono sound and features. I wonder: has anyone compared the Poly D to the Behringer Model D? Polyphony notwithstanding, I suspect the Poly D might still win my affection. I'm only speaking for myself, of course. Again, thanks for doing this much-needed comparison.

[@JohnTrasher]

Thanks, glad i could help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqTSYadnjJmNpJY at 42 seconds the monopoly begins to play melody along with the poly D, doing things the poly can't do.

[@RIP_Milhouse]

Wow they both win for me. I think I would be dancing about the place putting both into a track 🤣

[@EricAdamsonMI]

The Poly D seems warmer & fatter, Mono/Poly seems brighter, and a bit harsher, but both possess desirable qualities. Given that both can be had for less than the cost of a single modern synth, I'll likely have the lot! My only gripe is lack of desktop models -- how many short, mediocre keybeds do I really need in my tiny studio? That's why I bought ONE expensive MIDI controller...

[@JohnTrasher]

Yeah, true. On the otherhand, i seem to use my keyboard synth more often than the desktop modules, since they are more immediate in Assesebility

[@goodman1127]

They sound completely different. Both are very warm

[@yaveeya2992]

They are 2 different beasts!

[@UmasPapa]

Hey, could you turn up the volume of your voice next time? Very very quiet compared to the synths.

[@JohnTrasher]

You're right. Maybe the automatic subtitles help in some questionable parts?

[@tennysontableau]

Yeah. A lot of people make these type of videos with low voice level. I try to watch quietly, without headphones, but then the music get blasted too loud after trying to listen to the voice. I'll just use headphones next time.

[@Pulse2AM]

The Korg is snappier and has sort of plastic tonal quality in comparison to the D. I like the Korg.

[@JohnTrasher]

[@SourDiesel69]

[@redheart6995]

I just received my Monopoly, and the keybed is less soft than that of my poly d. Especially the white keys are so soft on my poly D. Way better on my Monopoly

[@JohnTrasher]

I'll check later again, but to me the Keybed felt really the same. I got both synthesizers of the first production batch, maybe later versions were built differently (but i wouldnt think so)... overall they are okayish, and suitable for the purpose. I got an Electric Piano with wooden keys when i want to play really expressive... :)

I believe monopoly velocity is MIDI out only and no aftertouch at all? Having both as onboard destinations as with poly d is an unfortunate omission IMHO.

[@JohnTrasher]

Correct, no AT on the monopoly.

[@New_Zealand_Music]

Thank you

[@validcore]

& that's why I canceled my PolyD preorder when they announced the MonoPoly

[@24framemedia]

@Rhizosphere my assessment is if you can't afford and actual moog, get the poly d for the moog sound but grandmother isn't much more and is a way more capable synth, to me the mono/poly is more interesting modulation wise than the poly d.

[@24framemedia]

@Rhizosphere Grandmother is great even without using modular, it's just a great rock solid sounding bass synth with a really nice sequencer/arpeggiator and spring reverb, the patching is just an added bonus.

[@24framemedia]

@Rhizosphere, yeah I had both and I can say that while they both sound amazing I am more likely to grab a Grandmother again than a Matriarch. The raw sound of the Matriarch is great, just as good as Grandmother but Grandmothet feels more immediate to use. I really don't dig parphonic, it doesn't work with the way I want to play and so I tend to think of synths as either Poly or Mono and forget the paraphonic aspect because I just don't find it something I use all that much, and for the money and a mono I prefer the grandmother. Alot of things about the way the Matriarch was done I find frustrating, the way they implemented global settings for one. I sold both and got a Moog One, the raw sound isn't the same but it is absolutely a fantastic and capable synth that is well laid out and super intuitive. I think for me I have learned a big part of deciding on a synth isn't just sound but what you want to do with it and how it's laid out and whether or not that inspires creativity.

[@ingolf7411]

As for me ... the Poly D wins. I agree I've being excited about the MonoPoly but when hearing the comparison, I prefer the Poly D ... maybe it´s because there is more "Moog" in the sound.

[@uvoikimovundutrauerblume3302]

For me is it the other way .

[@seoulbeatscene]

"The Behringer Poly D has a volume issue, and I'm honestly curious about what you think about using it. Could you please share your thoughts?"

[@JohnTrasher]

well in its core, they are both 4 OSC paraphonic subtractive synths. So they have a lot in common and overlap quite much. However they differ in the FX section... MonoPoly is more flexible in PWM sounds (variable width modulation, LFO controlled) and has a FM feature. If money and space is not an issue, get both, otherwise i would go for the poly d... but i liked the FM sound on the MP as well... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqTSYadnjJmNpJY here u can listen what i mean (starting 0:42)

Honestly, you could probably use either as long as you know how to program well. I think the MonoPoly has a better sound for that kind of music, but thats just my opinion.

[@MakingMadBeats]

In my opinion the Monopoly sounds beefier and way more polished than the Poly D, but in a good way. It' s like you lift a curtain and get the full spectrum whereas the Poly D sounds kinda dull.

[@JohnTrasher]

Although the poly d produces more frequencies in the upper spectrum.

[@MakingMadBeats]

@@JohnTrasher Really? Wow, didn' t think that but must say that I only trusted my ears and didn' t take a look at the analyzer in your video. I tested the Poly D myself and wasn' t impressed by it, especially when it came to deep bass sounds. The bottom end was missing in Subbass territory and the overall output Volume wasn' t that great, either. My Vermona Mono Lancet 15 which I use for basses most of the time has way more punch, imho.

Good comparison show. The polyD is the best. Behringer should of put a sequencer in the monopoly. Big mistake. The monopoly is too clean compared to the D. That's why I never bought it. I think the monopoly cross osc section creates too much harshness to make it effective. The korg mono poly wasn't an amazing success when it came out to be honest. I think it is over rated and you quickly bore of it. Behringer need to get the proper polys out not pretend polys. For all the hype they create.
