Friday Fun - Behringer Poly D Synth Jam 

That was the warmest, richest, thickest, deepest, smoothest jam I've heard in quite some time. The aural equivalent of floating on a six feet thick duvet in a sea of morphine. Behringer get some grief for their 'clone wars' philosophy, perhaps rightly in some respects. But if they can create OSCs that sound like that, then they deserve some credit as well. The more I hear Mr Nick B play, the more I realise that he's actually an understated synth wizard. He's like the antimatter Rick Wakeman.

😀 Ooops, rushing the upload before going home, that Friday feeling.. :-)

When the sound settled around 5:14, that is just absolutely gorgeous. Lovely patch!

"You Know What I Need In My Life?... A Whole Bunch Of Ambient Reverb"....... No truer words spoken! :-)

Starting at 7:38 you can hear a nod to the patch he created with the MFB Dominion 1 “chucked” into the Eventide H9.

Ive owned this Synth for about 5 months now, I also own a Moog Sub 25, a Korg Prologue 16 and a little Arturia Microbrute Ive owned for the last 4 or 5 years ( i love that little synth ) and I just have to say, the Poly D really does sound great, much better than I expected it to sound. I would say this is the closets you are going to get to an Actual Minimoog without spending thousands of dollars. And it has one more oscillator , its polyphonic ( kinda sorta ) and has a few other features the Minimoog doesnt, its definitely worth the money imo. The only 2 cons I would say is, one, you cant save presets, but thats not a big deal for me, once you live with an analog synth you know how to get the sound you want from it, same as with my Microbrute. The second con is just when you want to play chords in polyphonic mode you have to make sure the master tune knobs is tuned to your track and each individual oscillator is tuned also.

08:23 the build up on this one is so strong! Dang it 09:23 brought tears to my eyes, Amazing Nick

When you get shivers, you know it sounds good.

Would be very happy to see more of these style video's of Nick playing around with the gear - even as a follow up to the review videos. Not a performance, not a review, not just mindless noodling, good production values.

Really nice one, Nick! Sounds beautiful! Kind of wishing I’d waited and grabbed the Poly D over the Model D. It really has a very nice, classic sound.

Loving all your synth reviews! Poly D is truly a magnificent synthesizer just like most of the other Behringer offerings! Truly excellent synths all of them and for the price totally unbeatable! Thank you👍

Dear Nick, always a nice surprise on the Friday! Inspiring, creative and very musical, like your soundscapes ! Thx.

Behringer certainly had a ringer with the poly d. Mr. Batt, your music-making on that synth is like a mini master class on musical synth-playing. Thank you.

Always an inspiration, Nick. Like special food for creativity.

This is the demo that really makes me want to get this.... proper brooding introspective ambient jams!

Why on earth did you do this to me. I already made the decision i do not need the Poly D. And now this.

Each one of your videos is a masterclass...and I am a mussician for 50 years so far......

I think behringer owes you some money for the demo you just gave us. You definitely helped them sell some synths with this one

Great video ! Exactly the type of music I want to do..simple chord changes like this with short leads in between...Cheers! Bill.

Nick you have done magic with this synthesizer I'd get on a spaceship and get lost in those sounds... ✨

Nick, followed you for years. Thanks for your no nonsense reviews. Spent a fortune, thanks to you. Xx

Superb, I would actually listen to what you're playing as a song. I really like everything from the sounds to the chord voicings. It really is a great sounding synth too.

Love these Friday Fun videos. Make me want to spend all my money on synths I don't need.

Ambient reverb for the win! Great stuff and great synth... and just look at the Pulsar lurking in the background! I think these would interweave with one another beautifully.

Wow, that sounds so warm and lush....like slowly sinking into a warm tub.

That thing really comes alive when you bring in the chorus. Great jam. 5:07 That was a really cool sound... Now I want one so I can feedback the chorus and make it go nuts.

Marriage proposal: Ms. Poly D weds my Mr. Moog Sub 37. "If anyone can show just cause why this couple cannot lawfully be joined together in matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

I'm really impressed !!! Nick is the man !!! Well done Nick !! 👏👏👏

Easy to get lost in that sound. Absolute beauty.

having had one of these since it was released i can say to anybody who actually likes TONE and SYNTHS to get one, it is a beautifully made instrument and has that sound in bucketloads

Amazing your a legend this all just sounds right up my street your a master of your craft.👍

dang, nick is loving it!

@ 5.14 oh yessss, that is very nice! Awesome job Nick

Really enjoyed every second ! And you can never have enough reverb...

Here while it was called ff_polyd_zoom-final.mp4

Nick's cover of "Friday" by Rebecca Black is really avant-garde. :O

Beautiful playing, thanks for sharing!

"it's sort of a frozen... You know my thing"😆

I was recently deciding between this synth and Roland JX-08 and the second one seems like a better option, mainly because it can be bought without a keyboard, since I'd like to control it remotely with a MIDI keyboard.

Lovely stuff Nick! Thanks for that.

Thank you for this video, Nick. I'm guessing that for many of us, a desktop/rack version of this (sans keyboard) would be greatly appreciated. Studio space is always at a premium, and I cannot justify yet another full-sized 37-key synth taking up valuable real estate.

I found this sesh was very therapeutic, thank you doctor :)

Sounds incredible, despite what the internet trolls claim. Nick appreciate your dedication to revealing the best out of gear! ❤

It's Fiday, Fiday Gotta get down on Fiday I love the ZOOM CDR.

Loving the sound of this. 5:17

This thing sounds awesome

If Nick could just be the soundtrack for the new Dune Films that would be great. Seriously that was awesome.

Sweet baby J, Nick....You've sold it to me. I was in two mind before seeing this.

Trop beau; ça m'a fait beaucoup de bien.

I want this synth so bad.

5:09 right on Nick 🙌🏾

That massive pad around the 5 minute mark. Great sound

Killersynth and Mr superzoom.... Nick... THANX man....youre vid,s makes superselling Stuff....keep,m comin

Beautiful Nick! thank you.

wowsers, keep playing......nice ambient pads, eurorack feel with warm pressence and soul

In the states still waiting for the one I pre-ordered last year. This is just torture

Having a Pulsar just sitting there in the background is a bloody crime Nick!!!! :P

I think the Zoom pedal is the star here. I love ambient reverb as much as you, but I think you love PWM more than anyone. 👏🤣 Thanks Nick, always love your Friday Jams.

Nick, fantastic as always!!!

Oi Nick! Lovely stuff! Was wondering if using the feedback loop with chorus engaged will skew the chorus effect to one side more than the other (depending on the amount of volume coming into the ext input)? If the left channel with chorus is fed back wont the chorus be stronger in the left channel even tho the ext input is mono? Meaning it will amplify the left channels chorus? Or maybe the ext in will go thru the chorus again and get spread L/R correctly? Cheers

Ha yes. The Zoom MS70CDR is a delight for synths. Never heard "Jump" played like this before

back into improv

Does anyone know if a module version of this is on the way? Kinda in love with this thing...

Very nice, Nick! I'm still a bit 50/50 about the sound of the distortion effect on it though, TBH,

i have the Poly-D, after i see this demo i bought the Zoom Pedal :DDDD

Love those chord choices

Fantastic demo!

Yeah, bloody lovely Nick.

Nick you just amaze me with these gorgeous ambient tracks . Next film project I’m giving you a call my brother. And I am buying a poly d Because of this demo. Hear that Behringer? Peace Christo👽🎶🐕☮️🛸

“It will be mine...oh yes...it will be mine.”

Ordered one

I know this is 2 years old.. could you please tell me what you are running everything into?? Is it from the zoom to a daw system or EQ?? Is this playing through a speaker? Im working on a home setup and need some help understanding.

3:58 sounds like some OPN shit. The song Months off his album "Russian Mind"

What pa or speakers would be ideal for this type of setup. Thanks.

What shimmer is that ?

Sounds lovely

Well that was a beautiful sound!

omg it just sounds so beautiful

thanks for creating

Thank God it's Fiday ;)

At 9:31 I got a wee goosebump or two :)

Poly D or Minilogue . Hhhmm what a conundrum. Any thoughts?

Yes.. the CDR 70 is a small nuclear device, even just with guitar 🎃

Great sinth, beautiful demo

👏🏾👏🏾 needs an encore, superb 🤯

Want one, buying one, sold! Nice keys man.

Beautiful sound and progressions! 🔥 Very nice indeed, and this video makes it my first priority to take out the Poly-D from the box, when I have moved back into my renovated apartment!

Just release an album of this.

Very nice wow

Wieder klasse Grüße aus Berlin als grüß der Berliner

Geeeezus. That is beautiful.

5:10 Twin Peaks

I feel like in Bladerunner 👌🏻

Very nice sounds

fantastic

why use external fxs if this synth sounds good ?

Wow!

Hearts of Space

It is a big mistake of Behringer, that it dont have any preset, and any memory for custom preset's.

My entry for the title competition is: "Friday Fun with the Behringer Poly D and the Zoom MS-70 CDR" ;)
