Korg Trident Mk1

MrFirechild

"Here is a track using sounds only from the Korg Trident Mk1 from 1980. A very cool machine combining a fully programmable and real eight voice polyphonic synthesizer with a divide down section with brass and strings. Built in Flanger completes this classic synthesizer. From being somewhat forgotten in the early 2000 it is now pretty sought after with its great sounding SSM filters.
The track is called Open Your Eyes.
Composed and produced by www.firechild.se"

Voyetra Eight - Octave Plateau Electronic

MrFirechild

"Here is a track with the extremely rare Voyetra Eight from Octave Plateau Electronics (1983). All sounds are coming from the Voyetra (including percussion). Even more rare is that the Voyetra is using a mix of SSM and CEM chip. SSM2044 for filter and CEM3340 for VCOs. Add the extended modulation features and you have a lovechild of Prophet 5 Rev2 and the Matrix-12!

Behringer Introduces the POLY D - 4 Voice Paraphonic Polyphonic Minimoog Keyboard Synthesizer

Published on Nov 24, 2019 BEHRINGER

Apparently Behringer is on Amazon now.

Update2: Playlist with three user videos (you can skip around on the top right or bottom left):



Sonic Lab: Behringer Poly D! - sonicstate
Behringer Poly D -solo sonidos / only sounds - FutureMusic.es
Behringer POLY D - MrFirechild
Behringer POLY D: Review, Tutorial and Patch Ideas // Auto-damp explained - loopop

Update: post updated with larger pics. Click them for the detail.

Note the POLY D is more like a Mono/Poly in how you stack/route the oscillators. There are 4 VCOs, so you can set them to trigger one at a time for 4 voice paraphonic polyphony. Paraphonic in that they share the same filter, envelopes, etc. You can't have a fully separate voice with independent filters, envelopes, etc like on a truly polyphonic synth. This is not a Memormoog or Moon One. That said, it is a step ahead of a standard Minimoog - 4 vs 3 VCOs with the ability to play paraphonically. If it's light enough, you might even be able to kick back on a couch with it. An original Minimoog on the lap would get heavy fast.

Side note: Apparently Behringer is on Amazon now.

Details from Behringer:

"Analog 4-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer with 37 Full-Size Keys, 4 VCOs, Classic Ladder Filter, LFO, BBD Stereo Chorus, Distortion, 32-Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator"

The 1970s spawned the first truly portable analog synthesizer, and while it was quickly adopted by lots of renowned musical artists including Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Rick Wakeman, Jean-Michel Jarre, Isao Tomita and Keith Emerson to name a few, it was somewhat temperamental and very expensive. An ultra-affordable homage to that iconic synthesizer, with all the features of the original and then some, the Behringer POLY D lets you conjure up virtually any monophonic or polyphonic sound imaginable with incredible finesse and ease. The pure analog signal path is based on authentic VCO, VCF, VCA and ladder filter designs in conjunction with a dedicated and fully analog triangle/square wave LFO. Owning a POLY D is like having your own personal time machine, enabling you to freely embrace the past – or shape the future!

Moog One

Published on Apr 22, 2019 MrFirechild

"Moog One (2018) is definitely one of the best analog poly-synths ever built if not THE best. With its dual filter section and flexible routing it can easily emulate many of the golden vintage synths from the late 70s and 80s. The track is using sounds (including drums) only from the Moog One (multitracking). Composed and produced by www.firechild.se"
