Behringer Poly D
analog synthesizer
The Poly D is an analog synthesizer first made by Behringer in 2019. The Poly D is based largely on the Moog Minimoog, which was first produced from 1970-1981. The Poly D is the sixth such vintage synthesizer that Behringer has cloned.
Release
In 2016, Behringer announced that they would be releasing their first ever production synth for retail, the Deepmind 12/6, followed shortly thereafter by the Deepmind 12D, a desktop variant of the Deepmind. These synths were in turn followed the Neutron, Crave, TD-3 and Model D.
On November 27, 2019, Behringer announced that they would be releasing the Poly D, though at the time only pre-orders were available from Thomann. The Poly D was originally priced at £599 or €699, respectively.
Design and features
The Poly D weighs 22.5 pounds and has dimensions of 90 x 648 x 361 mm. The synth has four analog oscillators, which can be merged into one voice, two voices with two oscillators per voice, or split into one voice per oscillator. The oscillators are analog, not digital, and thus require occasional tuning.
There are wooden panels on either side, and the back panel is made of black aluminium, closely resembling a Minimoog.

Why this record matters
“Behringer Poly D” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Behringer, Poly and analog provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q111915671. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 1970, 1981 and 2016.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
