Anyone played one of these or have any other opinions?

Just unpacked mine last night. I'll try to get to it next week, maybe sooner. It didn't come with any paperwork. Lucky I have a whole book of my old Minimoog settings.

View Attachment View AttachmentI'm kind of a newb to synths, but I have always liked Moog sounds. My understanding is that the Behringer Poly D is not true polyphonic, but rather paraphonic, meaning that you don't exactly get four completely independent (poly) sounds when doing chords. Now I have no idea how much this would or wouldn't matter to me, but it's still worth asking. Do you have any thoughts to offer on this versus the Minimoog? Are Minimoog settings supposed to transfer directly to the Poly D or something? I'm still trying to figure out whether or not it's worth taking the plunge with the Poly D.

I really like the Poly D. A great sounding synth. Keybed is ok, but the synth and the sound is pretty fantastic. I like it a lot. Huge value for the money.

Original Minimoog was monophonic, wasn't it?

I heard a direct comparison a while back, video, guy playing same parts , moog then B and I couldn’t hear any difference.
Maybe live there is but it sure sounded better than any of the soft synths I had heard.

I got mine in yesterday, I'm loving this thing. Sold my minilogue, probably will now sell my minibrute. This is one budget synth that does it all for me, and won't feel terrible bringing out of the house for shows, provided shows ever happen again.
the white noise is letting me do some fun NIN type sequences, it's got all the sounds I've been trying to do with 2 oscillators, turns out I needed 4. The mod wheel functions with a really great smoothness capability so you can really go crazy if need be, and I do! It also lights up the higher it goes, and that is a bell and whistle I really enjoy looking at.
I also really love the chorus. It's very intuitive right out of the box, which makes me happy as well.
