Ohh I'm looking at that System 35 for a while now!!! Sounds soooo good. It's a matter of time until I press that cart button lol There's a few second hand Grandmother in my area also. How does it sound? Never owned a Moog. I think it's time! haha

Sounds dope, what reverb what being used on this?

Valhalla Supermassive!

[@sibbyeskie]

Dude, you didn't even do the overdrive trick by sending from phones output back into EXT input. You get stupid beefy sounds from that alone. There are actually some hidden modulation tricks as well with the Poly D that nobody I know has even mentioned let alone noticed. It has a lot of capability and every knob twist seems to hit a sweet spot! I love mine too, in case it isn't obvious.

[@Tonepusher]

oh wow that's a great idea! I'll definitely try that 🤘🏻 I recorded that video the day I got it. So this was pretty much my first sounds haha Thanks for the tip 👌🏻

[@raymondo6665]

Thanks for a great demo and amazing sounds but can't live without patch memory save anymore. So would only be for twiddling with if I did buy one. And tbh I can do that on my Behringer Pro-800 and save the patches. Cheers.

[@312dasbkilla]

Had mine a month and its all I've been playing, mind you I also have a Korg modwave. which also incredible. have crazy vsts but love the poly d

[@Tonepusher]

That's a nice combo, wavetable and analog :) Yeah that Poly D is very versatile. I have mine for months now and I still love it as much. I don't think I'll ever sell it tbh it's a must have. I COULD buy a Model D, but for that price... I prefer the Poly D hehe

[@312dasbkilla]

@@Tonepusher yeah I feel ya. The fact that it has the fourth oscillator added with distortion and a chorus. You can go wrong. Seeing it’s a few thousand cheaper. Moog is legendary no doubt about it If there was any Moog I could afford it’ll be the Moog One

[@issiewizzie]

Does it send me the CC?

[@jhewitt79]

What additional FX are you using?

I'm using Cubase stock Delay and Valhalla Supermassive which is 100% free :) I try to always use free/stock plugins in my videos so it's easier to reproduce!

Hi there! How is the connectivity with the Cubase? The sync it's OK to record arp, sequence and automation? Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@Tonepusher]

Well, if I want to make an arp and record it into Cubase I won't use the Poly D's built in sequencer though . I'll probably use a plugin inside Cubase or write it by hand (old habit hehe). But yeah it's working great! 👌

[@florinchelniciuc831]

@@Tonepusher, thanks for the answer. Great piece of analog, i want one and I'm not sure what I want...

[@Tonepusher]

@@florinchelniciuc831 Yeah it's a greaaat sounding synth. But you could also get the Model D which is way cheaper and sounds the same. I basically went for this one mainly for the looks and the chorus which is great. And also the sequencer is fun to play with and design sounds. But logically speaking the Model D is a great choice.

[@ric_olivera]

Great! Can you save patches? Load them by a software, maybe…

[@Tonepusher]

No you can't save patches or load patches either. And I think that's the beauty of it. Just make a sound on the spot and record it. BUT you can take pictures of the front panel and copy the settings later on :P hehe

[@rayadomachin3709]

Many people complain about the keybed being “cheap”. How do you feel about it? I May buy one

[@Tonepusher]

Hey! Well, they're kinda right. But I'm more of a sound designer/producer so it doesn't matter to me. It feels better than most of the synth I tried that's for sure. I have a minifreak and ms-20 mini for example and the Poly D has a better keybed. But I feel like it's not for everybody, feels more like a piano touch than a synth. Sorry it wasn't super clear but it's not clear in my head either 😂

[@redshift3696]

Are you using any external reverb? or these are all built-in effects? Thanks!

I'm using a free plagin called Valhalla Supermassive. And sometimes the Cubase stock delay.

Sounds very good but it is not that close to its original and I dont think it has to. It sounds close to the ensemble strings thou.

[@Tonepusher]

Like you said I think it's a great synth on its own haha Especially when you look at the price 0_o lol

[@klstay]

Great sounds here. For me their MonoPoly clone was more interesting; I went with it and a Model D (and a Cat and RD-9). However, I prefer a beatstep pro and keystep pro for arps and sequencing so that also figured in to not caring about Poly D having that onboard.

[@Tonepusher]

Nice! That's a very smart setup. I have to say that I love the look of the Poly D and also the sequencer(which is very cool to design sounds) made me buy it instead of the Model D. But to play live your idea with the Polystep is wayyy better. The Cat is very cool too, but I'm waiting for that sexy Poly-800! hehe

[@klstay]

@@Tonepusher Though many are I was never a big fan of the PolySix. A neighbor in a band had a shiny new P5rev2 and for some reason let me play it for hours when I was in the 9th grade. I cannot justify a rev4 today as this is just a hobby, but CAN justify a Pro 800 which will have to do.

[@Tonepusher]

@@klstay Yeah prices of vintage synths are crazy right now (and probably continue to go up). The sounds of Behringer's synths are (to me) 95% identical and way easier to use in a modern setup. However, they probably won't last 40 years haha But I probably won't either 🤣

[@NTRSN-Archive]

@@klstay he is not talking about a Polysix but a Poly800 this is a big difference.

[@klstay]

@@NTRSN-Archive indeed there is a big difference and I am not certain what synth is being referred to - the imminent Pro 800 or the announced Polyeight. I think it unlikely to be the original Korg Poly 800 as I do not believe anyone has (or likely ever will) announce a clone or re-issue of it.
