Using the Behringer MonoPoly, complete guide tutorial.

[@Jobotubular]

Less than two minutes into this, and I'm already learning something I didn't know. Definitely going to watch the whole thing.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks man. It took some work to do this one. I am glad you could get something out of it. Since everything is in a timeline you can skip the parts you already know. Thanks for the support, it helps more than you think.

[@Jobotubular]

@@XNBeatsMusic -- I'll be listening to all of it, even the things I already understand; if I had skipped the parts I "know" I would have missed your comment on the PWM/PW on Osc 1. And I am sure to learn even more when you go through the uniqueness of the "effects" section. Thanks!

[@SolosoundsNetwork]

I agree to watch the whole thing, but 2 minutes in? How? I mean, this is a board game from Burger....Mono Poly from Beh rin ger , not monopoly from Burger. Wait you are right, it is monopoly from burger. I DID LEARN something in the first two minutes.

[@TJ-rf1xl]

First comprehensive tute I've watched since hooking my new MonPoly up the other day! This synth is so intuitive that I didn't go in thinking I'd learn too too much, but it was in fact quite helpful. Cheers!

[@josejuancerdabarraza3544]

IMO this videos are great, one example for it is that you explain in every video not only what the envelopes and ADSR are also how it works, on every synth is the same concept but may ve applied different and that is in a big way what gives a synth its sound and "personality"

[@jackspring7709]

I bought a KORG Mono/Poly in 1989 for £96.00 when all the analog synths were being dumped for digital: I remember being in the shop seeing Minimoogs going for £110.00(!!): I still have the Mono/Poly and it's one of my favourite synths. From the demos I've seen the Behringer is a very faithful clone and I'm going to be buying one and letting the KORG take it easy.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Luckt Cat, haha. I love the Behringer one. no doubt. But having the original is something else as a collector item adds a different value. I would do the same thing you want to do, use the Behringer for production and safekeep the Korg, because it's part of the history and a collector item.

[@jackspring7709]

@@XNBeatsMusic Yep: the KORG is going to get a well earned rest: It really is, in my opinion, a unique synth and I much prefer it to the Mini-moog. Still delighted with the purchase, even after all these years. All the best.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@@jackspring7709 totally, if I had to choose between the moog and the Mono/Poly i choose the Mono/Poly....

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@Dandini Hey !!..Well, I have both and they are not comparable. I , personally would choose monopoly because I like to do synthwave. But, the MS20 is my Favorite classic synth, or maybe top 3. It has a different vibe, I would use it for gritty 90's/2000's daft punk old school....monopoly can give you this synth 80's vibe very quickly. So, my answer would be...depends on what you want to do :S

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@Dandini Hey, yes I Guess I will record it next month maybe, so you can be sure there will be one on this channel :)

[@aktasluna]

duuude! I can't thank you enough for doing this. I didn't even notice that I watched the whole thing, and somehow didn't want the tutorial to end. thank you thank you thank you!

[@mohamedmahmoud1990]

The best monopoly tutorial on the internet!!! Thank you

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Loved the MonoPoly, great sound, super solid construction. Thanks for the comment !!

[@luisblanco3619]

Lovelly Monopoky!!! Fantastica explicacion!!! Thanks you very much!!!

[@JosehAlbertto]

Incrivel, incrivel... Obrigado por isso. Estou a comprar um Monopoly essa semana. Seu Guia vai me ajudar bastante.

[@maxgrue]

Been looking 5 hours for a video like that... thanks a lot Bro, just subbed!

[@jasperbroeks761]

interesting :) just 1 thing: The Detune only influences osc 2 and 4, 2 goes left 4 goes right. 1 and 3 stay unaffected.

[@allisterainsworth9090]

Thanks so much for this very informative video. I just got a Monopoly and this video has taught me how to drive it. Cheers!

[@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512]

An excellent demonstration, thank you.

[@soulcrunch2000]

Thank for taking the time. great guide.

[@chrisharwell5910]

Thanks so much 😊

You're welcome 😊 Thanks for the comment !!

[@remydupon9965]

Very helpful!! Thanks 🙂

[@dannystephenson4957]

Great tutorial you make it sound so simple thank you.

[@thehomerecordingstudiozone1868]

Excellent vid XNB I kind of overlooked this synth thanks for putting it back on my list.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Well, it's a classic. It depends on you style, if you do a lot of vintage tunes or retro, this takes you to vintage town very easily.

[@Max_Relic]

Hi, nice video but you didn't mention that the MonoPoly has a peculiar portamento behavior: it is polyphonic in the sense that each oscillator's portamento has a slight time difference from the other, this gives a distinctive character to the sound. Try it in Poly mode. Behringer has implemented two portamento options which can be chosen with the SynthTribe app: original (as in the Korg Mono/Poly) and improved (standard portamento), that's a smart move IMO.

[@MrCowfood]

Just fyi your voice is cutting the audio of the synth in a very destructive and glitchy manner. For anyone considering this synth they may hear this as a problematic synth which of course is not the case. Of course the instruction is spot on.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !! .,.yeah, maybe I did too much gating. Sorry for that. I am using less on the newer videos, the problem with letting the voice and synth go out at the same level is that you either clip, or YT will compress the hell out of the video. But a couple people told me they prefer less ducking, so I am using less now. Thanks for the observation.

[@christianthompson1473]

Great tutorial! Just got my B. Monopoly yesterday and i love it. A real proper old skool sound making machine. I'm ordering a white lab coat a tuning fork and half rim glasses . Did i miss auto damp? It was coming after trigger but you skipped on to key assign. 👍

[@alansanchezlopez4018]

What a good video tutorial! Do you recommend this synth for the second synth? I have a microkorg and thinking in go for something like that. Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@MyBichSustained]

Got mine today...LOVE,LOVE,LOVE! THANK YOU HOLY FATHER,JESUS!

[@AsunderSoft]

Any chance of a Behringer Poly D complete tutorial?

[@XNBeatsMusic]

I don't think so, unless I get one. All the synths I cover is because I own them. If behringer want to provide it, I'll do it, but i think we are very far from that :S

[@jaquelinomito]

Hi guys, i just bought my monopoly this week, and having big troubles :/ I turned on, waited for 15 minutes then I can’t trigger notes via the keyboard. I mean, it triggers a note but it only sounds a simple tone that doesn’t keytrack, only plays the same note over and over again. The VCO’s lights are always on as if i was triggering notes non stop. It’s weird because everytime i reset the synth the “sound” only comes back like if i were on 16’ (lower octave range) on the VCO. But if i move it up it resets and transposes one octave up. Strange. Also, the Key Assign Mode remains unusable i don’t know why and its only on Unison Mode , the effects section is Off and no matter how i press it it doesn’t lits up, leaving this section of my synth unusable.

[@jann_rygh]

Hey, just trying to find out how to sync the LFO with the DAW Clock. ARP works fine but I can't make the MG sync. What did I miss?

[@DisciplinedCommotion]

Hi is it possible to change the midi channel on the Behringer monopoly? cheers Tim.

[@blffoxenpop4027]

Thanks this was gold for a noob like me

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it :)

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

Excellent video

[@nigelh2]

Simple question: does note velocity control the cutoff frequency and vca level?

[@fabishakenbake1971]

great vid, thank you

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks !! I love the monopoly, a great classic vibe out of this one.

[@stephencrane561]

@XNB Have you ever found an (official / unofficial) fix for the widespread VCA bleed issue which plagues many of the Behringer MonoPoly re-issues? I love the synth and use it on many projects ... but this is fast-becoming unmanageable, especially for live use. Mine's started to behave quite badly in this respect, to the point where I've temporarily fitted a noise gate to resolve the amount of bleed! This is not ideal. Given this will likely be a calibration issue, as someone who is competent with electronics, I'd like to attempt it myself rather than risk being without the synth for several months following a service RMA.

[@Jobotubular]

"... and make some good music, right? That's the whole point."

[@mike.thomas]

Thanks!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Wow, thanks man. It really helps. Half of the synths you see on this channel I get them to create the content. So the 10 bucks really help in keep this going. And getting more coffee...so thanks Mike !!!

[@mike.thomas]

@@XNBeatsMusic I literally just received my MonoPoly yesterday, so I watched your vid a second time. I make videos too, so I know how much work goes into such a thing. Thanks for the hard work you put into such a complete video overview. I’m digging the MonoPoly and am so happy it integrates easily into a CV-based system, too (as opposed to my MS-20, and many digital synths).

[@XNBeatsMusic]

congratulation !! Yeah it's a good instrument.I am a fan of that era so access to a clon, because getting the original is practically impossible, it's great. Yeah, it is a lot of hard work. Thanks for appreciating it :)

[@NicolasMelis]

great video thanks

[@martinbeeby5750]

That was Great ... Sleepless nights a Coming Many thanks and keep it real ... Peace Out ... ZeN

[@pkryp]

Thank you for super cool tutorial!!! Is it possible to control bpm mg1 or mg2 by external clock via midi like it is possible on arpeggiator?

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Hey men, thanks. As fas as I know, no, you cannot. So, yeah, you need to go old school on this one. But that's the idea right ? But I cannot argue it would be useful to have the option to do so.

[@guigeek9919]

Hi. There is a séquenceur in this synth?😊

[@ciaopete]

Thank you for posting this

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thank you for watching.

[@ciaopete]

@@XNBeatsMusic my Behringer Monopoly arrived today so will be rewatching this a number of times this week. Have you considered doing a top 5 presets for this synth?

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@@ciaopete hey congratulations !! Oh yeah, a lot more than 5. But maybe in a few weeks, uploaded a lot of heavy content. I am on a timeout right now. But I will, of course this is one of my favs.

[@ciaopete]

@@XNBeatsMusic excellent, enjoy your well earn break

[@ThePissso]

stright.edacuational..for.my.learning great teachering

[@prospectnyc]

How do you transpose to C0? At the lowest setting on the panel, it only goes down to C1 at 16'. I need at least one octave lower (two would be even better). The PolyD can do this.

[@cbass909]

I Need a Luke Slater's Planetary assault systems sound type of this synth !!!

[@whatevraa]

Can I use this synth as a midi controller aswell if I want to play in the box synths ?

[@palaHD]

I’m absolutely loving my monopoly but I have a problem that is driving me mad,when I use the arpeggiator it only plays for like a measure then stops,if I select ‘on or latch’ it doesn’t play constantly,any ideas ? I’ve copied all your settings but it still doesn’t work and I’ve updated the firmware too.Thanks for the video!!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks man. Are you using USB or trying to sync to the DAW ? ....

[@josephwright5921]

Mine only holds the arpeggiation in “on” function if I am actively depressing keys, like most keyboards

[@WizardOfTheKremlin]

Hey dude! So I got mine new today but the ship me it un calibrated, I cannot play it because no pitch from the keys when I press them :( Any idea how I fix this?

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Uhh,...sorry for the late response. Could you fix it ? Make sure you are on a default patch. Check the manual, the part it says first sounds. The calibration is super simple, you can do it minutes, that is not a problem. But if it's not responding to incoming signal from the KB, use the warranty.

[@WizardOfTheKremlin]

@@XNBeatsMusic yes my man, I got it. Thank you for all your doing.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@@WizardOfTheKremlin My pleasure :) .. I'll be creating more content with the MonoPoly in a little while.

[@WizardOfTheKremlin]

@@XNBeatsMusicI'm subbed so once you do I'll see it. I love this Synth it is my fav for the 80s bass lines sound for house 🍻🍀

[@XNBeatsMusic]

@@WizardOfTheKremlin Yeahm, vintage tones and vibes. That's what this synth is all about, I love it too.
