Analog 4-Voice Poly Synth with Tilting Control Panel

Rediscover one of the most popular and sought after sonic toolboxes in synth history with the MonoPoly from Behringer, a fully analog 4-voice polyphonic/paraphonic synth with four VCOs, a smooth 24 dB LPF VCF, two LFOs, and two ADSR EGs for precision sound crafting. With 37 semi-weighted, full-size keys with velocity sensitivity, the MonoPoly is a performer's dream.

The MonoPoly is packed to the brim with control features for shaping any sound you can imagine, including programmable modulation with oscillator sync, cross modulation, or a combination of the two, master tune, individual tuning, level, and octave control on each VCO, portamento time, PWM intensity and width, LFO frequency, bend and mod wheel destinations, noise generator level, and much more. The VCF features cutoff, resonance, EG intensity, and keyboard tracking controls, while the two envelope generators (one for VCF, one for VCA) offer traditional ADSR control. 62 controls total are included and the front panel can be laid flat or tilted for easy access. An arpeggiator section is also included. Finally, I/O is extensive, and includes line and headphone outputs, CV/Gate and trigger I/O, trigger polarity selection, 5-pin DIN MIDI input, output, and thru, USB-B, and special triggering inputs for the VCO, VCF, portamento, and arpeggiator.

A Highly Sought After Classic Returns, New and Improved

The 1980s was an amazing decade for electronic music. Artists like Vince Clarke and bands like Depeche Mode have used synthesizers to great effect, creating hits such as Just Can’t Get Enough and People are People. What synthesizer could they have used, you might ask? It was none other than the Korg Mono/Poly synth, which was only available for 3 years before it was taken off the shelves and has become a true collector’s item.

Today, Behringer is bringing this beauty to the 21st century with the MonoPoly. This is an ultraaffordable and even more feature-packed homage to the original. Conjure up virtually any sound imaginable with incredible finesse and ease. The pure analog signal path is based on the authentic Mono/Poly circuitry as well as VCO, VCF, and VCA designs from the '80s.

True to the Original

Great care has been taken in engineering the MonoPoly, including the true-to-the-original analog circuitry, 4 VCOs, and incredibly flexible key modes for monophonic, duophonic, and 4-voice polyphonic playstyles. This highly focused attention to detail is what gives the MonoPoly its ultraflexible sound shaping capability and allows you to recreate tones that are evocative of classic electronic music. It gives you the ability to cover a lot of amazing tones from super-fat bass, tasty leads, all the way to full-on dreamy ambience from the far reaches of your imagination.

Big, Fat Tones

The synthesizer tracks laid down in the '80s in progressive rock, new wave, and synth pop have become classics and have inspired many other artists. The MonoPoly lets you recreate all that magic, or design some incredible and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right.

A Timeless Classic

Just like its predecessor, the MonoPoly comes with four VCOs, each with four switchable waveshapes such as triangle, reverse sawtooth, pulse width modulation, and pulse width (square). Each VCO’s octave, level, and tuning can be adjusted separately with their respective knobs.

Setting the VCOs to PWM mode allows you to route the signal to one of two analog LFOs again with four selectable waveforms and adjustable frequency for some more advanced sound creation. Blend the VCOs with different waveshapes together and add a bit of cross-modulation to get some piercing leads and gigantic bass notes that are totally going to give your audience the goosebumps.

Sculpting a Masterpiece

The MonoPoly includes a VCF and VCA, each with its own ADSR EG that let you adjust the shape of the envelope to create notes that are short and percussive or long and atmospheric. You can even add in a bit of white noise by turning up the Noise knob.

This dramatically spices up your waveforms and gives you full control of your sounds, letting you shape your tone any way you want. Sweep the Cutoff knob on the VCF from left to right while setting the resonance to just the right amount and listen as your note transforms from a low rumble to a sizzling crescendo that’s just perfect for creating the right atmosphere in your next cyberpunk epic.

Key Assign Mode

With the Key Assign Mode section you can select how the MonoPoly operates, whether it’s in Unison mode, which plays all four VCOs at once when a key is pressed, Polyphonic mode, or Unison/Share mode which shares the VCOs according to the number of notes played. There’s also a Chord Memory mode for creating complex harmonies with a single key press.

Start off in Poly mode, press the hold button, play your chord and hit the Chord Memory button. Now you’ll be able to play that chord with a single key. Combine all these modes in your next production and you’re on your way to having a truly amazing song that will really get the crowd moving.

The Keys Please

The MonoPoly features 37 semi-weighted keys with velocity functionality. Pitch can be raised or lowered using the Bend wheel, while modulation depth is controlled with the MG1 wheel. You can even select what each wheel modifies as well as its intensity in the Wheel section.

Controls and Connectivity

For those who want the numbers, the MonoPoly has 62 knobs and buttons, all laid out on a tiltable front panel in a highly intuitive format that puts the joy back into your music creation. The MonoPoly also includes multiple inputs and outputs for controlling filter cutoff, oscillator pitch, and CV/Gate, as well as MIDI and even portamento.
