Behringer MonoPoly

MonoPoly - a different Game!

The Behringer MonoPoly is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Korg Mono/Poly synthesizer, renowned for its unique sound and powerful features. As someone deeply interested in synthesizers, I was excited to explore what the MonoPoly had to offer, and it certainly impressed me on multiple fronts. First off, the build quality of the MonoPoly is excellent. Behringer has managed to capture the essence of the original design while incorporating some modern touches. The unit feels sturdy and reliable, with a layout that's both intuitive and familiar to fans of the original synth. Sonically, the MonoPoly delivers in spades. It retains the distinctive character of the original instrument, with its rich and warm analog tones perfect for everything from thick basslines to ethereal pads. The inclusion of authentic VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators) and filters ensures that it captures the essence of the original Mono/Poly while also offering some modern enhancements. One of the standout features of the MonoPoly is its polyphonic capabilities. Unlike the original Mono/Poly, which was monophonic with a unique "Poly" mode, the Behringer version allows for true polyphony, opening up new creative possibilities. The ability to play chords and harmonies adds a whole new dimension to the instrument's sonic palette. Another highlight of the MonoPoly is its extensive modulation capabilities. With four VCOs, a versatile filter section, and a wide range of modulation sources and destinations, I've been able to create complex and evolving sounds with ease. The inclusion of a built-in arpeggiator and sequencer further expands its creative potential, allowing for intricate patterns and rhythms. Overall, the Behringer MonoPoly is a fantastic synthesizer that pays homage to a classic instrument while also offering modern features and enhancements. Whether you're a seasoned synthesist or a newcomer to the world of analog synthesis, the MonoPoly is sure to inspire creativity and exploration. Highly recommended! JUST DO IT!

Would have been great if it worked

I've ordered two of these now, must be a bad batch as they were both stuck in Unison mode, a search will show others with this issue. I've had dozens of analogue synths so well aware of how to make a sound too! :) Might try again but really Behringer needs to spend a bit of time on Quality Control.

Vintage synth, modern take

Recreation of the KORG Monopoly, this synth is ticking all the boxes :).

Beast sound, lot of modulation possibilites. Be careful that this synth uses different knob labels than the ususal synth which can be confusing at first for people who disnt know KORG labels.

A very good buy!

But after 2 years the Resonance potentiometer adds "scratch" noise

Good quality instrument. Nice sounds. Hours of enjoyment.

Amazing.

Hands down, my favorite behringer clone, and based on my favorite synth. Sounds incredible, close enough to the original, you'll love it.

A timeless classic reincarnated

Having owned the original "back then" i am thrilled with this one.

It is so well made and clearly comes very very close to the feel and sound i remember .... i love it.

Great synth!

This synth delivers in all ways. Super pleased with the purchase!

Amazing synth

Loving the performance and the price very much !

Nailed it

I've had this synth for a week and I'm happy to report that it nails the sound of the original. The arpeggiator works as it should and the X-mod really beefs up leads. Build wise it is like a tank and should last many years. Highly recommend it.
