I reach for this analog synth bass 90% of the time

- This synth gets used 90% of the time for bass duties on our tracks. Figured I'd make a video as to why the Behringer Model D (Minimoog style synths in general) hit those marks so well.
Thanks for watching!

After half a lifetime of making and listening to music, there are *still* very few things that are as enjoyable to my ears as a simple 24dB filter sweep on a 3 oscillator Moog type synthesizer.
I just does it for me...
Beeaaaoow! ♥
When I first got the model D I was in heaven. I couldn't get it to work initially and tried different KB controllers, but got there after a while. My phone is now full of images of model D settings that I really love. Running this from a MPC X with MIDI and CV is mind blowing.
midi AND cv ? do yo use the cv at the same time ? for filter control etc ?
This is the best video i have seen on the boog D. I watched this last night after working 12 hours and this kept my interest the whole time. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for another great and informative video. I'm in the market for the Model D myself and this video thoroughly answered all my questions. Probably one of the best videos on the the Model D. Thanks again. All the best.
I have a friend who got into synth and slowly started spending all his money on them, he now sleeps on the floor and when he is awake he will be endlessly twisting knobs
that's you right?
Heaven
Sounds ideal
Sounds awesome!
Bop-It taught him well
Thanks for sharing, blew the dust off my model D and have been having a great time with it after watching this
Been looking at one of these for a while. I'm sold! Thanks for the great video!
Just bought one because of this video and feeling totally inspired! Thanks
I've watched a ton of Behringer D videos and this is one of my favorite. Clear explanations and great sounds with good demos with drums. Good stuff!
The Model D is my favorite synth among many; I was pleasantly surprised to see that we knew the same tricks like using the mod CV out from the Keystep to automate the filter. There were a couple tricks in there I hadn’t thought of like manually playing with the tuning of an oscillator on a note-by-note basis during performance. Thank you for the video. Subscribed!
One tip for you - you mentioned you never use filter emphasis for basses… using just a bit of the filter emphasis essentially acts like a high pass filter to tighten up a bass patch. I’ve found it to help reduce muddiness especially when using the triangular waves.
I also having that Model D in my stock - you are doing great flowing sounds with it - I should start using it. I'd just know that this thing is nice and done an order, received but never played with it until NOW! ;) Thank you for the sound focused video! Thank you!
That first demo you did made my mouth water. What a delicious sound.
I just had to comment. Everything that you’ve said is completely right! And heavily I agree. Having the Model D makes you feel exactly like you explain in this video entirety. I just does exactly what it suppose to. And the bass execute every mix!! Beautiful video man.
You just sold me on the Model D :)
Thanks a lot for the introduction and tasty jams.
What a great feature video about the real usage of the unit and your practical thoughts. It was my first synth and i used it a lot and don't know what brought me to watching your video but i certainly enjoyed it! Will go play it right now! :)
Really enjoyed your summary- very helpful
I just bough mine today, now I'm waiting for its arrival even more eagerly than I was before!
Ive had mine for months and didnt know it had to warm up. It explains a lot
Great video, good to hear perspectives from a real musician
it really sounds fantastic
Interesting comparison to an acoustic bass intonation via string length & how bassist plays each note. Your comments on tuning are super helpful. Great video.
Thank you! 🙏
What you say about the limitations leading to more experimentation, especially with a clearly laid out synth like the D is so true. The other Behringer Analogues are equally as inspiring, I have the Crave and Wasp and this is definitely on my radar at some point.
That's why I have Reason 12 but still use version 4 most of the time.
Love your setup!
I love the Model-D.
Yes, I know "it's not the real thing", but if you want a wonderfull sounding analog synth that doesn't break the bank... go for it!
It’s not the real thing
Its not, nut whos gonna know in the mix? Besides there are less that 1% of people who can even guess in side by side comparison
I saw a band where the keyboard player had a controller hooked up to 4 of these units. Talk about a thick Moog sound. WOW.
It's not THE real thing, but it's A real thing. More real than any plugin and extremely close to THE real thing.
@@lucmermans37 It's not THE real thing, but it's A real thing. More real than any plugin and extremely close to THE real thing.
Such a good Video :) keep it up man!
i have the same thing :) once played a moog one, nothing could give me that bass. The model D did exact the same bass i needed, i couldnt believe it but the diffrence was so small.. It is what it is and i love it
Always good content. Hope you guys have a great Christmas and new year!
Happy New Year!
Good grief…I had no idea what the model D really is until I watched your video. I must get it for myself for xmas. Thanks so much my friend.
you just called the Minimoog mixer "basic" - them's fightin' words! It's like, the key to a major part of the sound of the instrument - the overdrive you can do into the filter, all that good stuff! :)
It is basic though. As in beautifully simple.
What's wrong with basic?
Awesome. You teaching me lots of stuff.
it is truely a monster, i have prophet x, actual moogs, elektrons, every synth i ever dreamt of and tbh I always start my idea's with behringers model d
Great video, well done I’ve had an Original Mini Moog that I bought in 1978 brand new and currently they’re going for about $12,500 you can get the Behringer Model D for around $350 I’m ordering one as one more tool in my box. And yes you have to let them warm up and my original will drift some depending on ambient temperature. Again great video.
Awesome breakdown.....thank u..
Great video. I'd love to see a series breakdown of more of your synths. I'd also like to hear your thoughts on what instruments fill what roles in your sound pallette. Perhaps a basic video on what types of sounds are needed for a basic song.
You mentioned this was your go-to bass sound. What's your go-to synths for leads, drums, pads, etc?
This might be a good idea for a ongoing video series. If you have these videos already, I haven't watched them yet.
Thanks for another great video. Keep up the awesome vids :)
Love your channel and it overall vibe, but this one was particularly interesting and fun as I have a D and there are a few things i picked up from your video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge 👍🙏
Awesome! Glad there was something in it for you 🙌❤️🙏
It’s
I am with you bruv, I love the model D, so creative and great sounding synth. It was mine, as yours is 'go to bass', until I got Behringer MS-1/sh101:)
Cool video. You have a great set up
Love your content 🔥🔥💯💯🙏🏾
Been needing to get one of these!
I must say your video is realy inspiring (and you bass line is not boring at all, I love it).
I have this synth and it is realy great and you bring easy explinations to illustrate nicely and clearly this equipment.
PS: if you want more out of your ModelD try do mod it !!!
You did the video faster than I expected :D Anyway, great one!
Thank you! I had been thinking about this vid for awhile 👍
Ive had mine for a year, and along with my Sub 25. it handles all my bass work!
Great video, I have a D as well and whilst I didn't learn anything new (i know you weren't trying to teach us anything new but rather explain how you like to use it!:) ) it was nice to see it used in a different style. I felt like I was having a conversation about it, which is good. I know purists lament Behringer for cloning but it brings analogue synthesis to the masses which is a good thing. I also partner the D up with a Keeley Caverns V2 analog reverb/delay pedal which keeps that instant tweakability with the detuned/desynced character. Nice vid, subscribed :)
i like this vid, i love the sound of the model D but it was nice to just have this sort of conversational demo vs a tech demo.
Great video 👌
Great overview! Depending on your song/arrangement, one oscillator might be enough. So much character involved here as I experienced with the Poly-D version.
Thx for that and happy new Year.Its nice to see content about the model which i own myself and yea its fun and while its restricted you end up with much.
Little Tip, i replaced one knob from the oscillators and changed it for the cutoff, the big Knob is much better in dialing fine movements abd i think i heard someone who got the Original that this whas for him the main difference, the range of filtering you can reach with a big Knob^^
please continue to show us what you eperience with it in the future^^
Great overview!
Thanks for watching 🙏
One slight variation on the Ext In feedback is to connect a patch lead from MIX OUT to EXT IN. That feeds the mixer straight back into itself and really drives the filter hard. The stable range is reduced to 0-1, with increasing weirdness and self-oscillation beyond that. However it's a really nice, different type of distortion. More mid-rangey in fact, great for lead sounds.
I did like it, thank you! Subbed.
Very nice video, I own a Model D, but I use it far too seldom. I am often too lazy to use my outboard equipment. Your video definitely motivated me to integrate my Model D into my setup so that I could use it immediately 👍
This is wonderful drone machine as well. You can patch +2.5v to +5v to lc gate and it will keep on droning and then sculpt the textures live by adusting the mix between oscs and add modulations and filter movement.
2:58 i just got this same model and i just got a regular mono stereo cord and found out that it works , and if you patch the “LC gate” to “LFO” then you can indeed sync up all tuning to oscillator 1 while also having the ability to tune oscillators 2 and 3 individually !! this is a dope video !!!!
Thanks Tefty! Have had my D for a year now. I bought it to go into a Eurorack system to provide that "Moog" sound when coupled with the 960 sequencer - and it delivers, no question! I have felt a bit guilty that I haven't explored its synthesis capabilities further, but I have plenty of other stuff for that... I agree with your idea about reaching for a synth for a "sound" characteristic - just like choosing a particular guitar - and I guess that's what I do with the D.
Hi Andrew 👋 thanks for sharing your perspective 🙏
Amazing !
nice demo!
Great video
With the advent of the modern DAW, you can keep an unlimited number of takes with your VCO synths. With the use of MIDI sequencing, you get identical performances. So you can take one pass straight, then spend as much time rolling through patch changes and performances. So you can comp together so many interesting changes between song sections to give any composition an interesting arrangement. Finallly, with low cost surface mounted assembly techniques and electronic component production on a global scale, every form of electronic instrument of the past is worthy of re-examination. I think Behringer saw the opportunity to build classic design en mass for a second go around and make their money in volume. It's close enough to a Mini to make a record with.
Actually if you look into the history of Bahringer, there main goal is to bring the most expensive or rare or legendary sythersizors to as low a cost as possible while allowing the user access to the same sound of the out of reach sythersizors.
Dawless is so much better especially live
I have one and I love it - 9/10ths “that” sound for less than 1/10th the price. While it of course doesn’t have real PWM, you can get a very similar sound by mixing oscillator 3 inverted saw with oscillator 2 regular sawtooth.
Sounds the same as the Aturia mini V and they both sound the same as a Mini Moog.
@@HOLLASOUNDS lol,no. Been using MiniV since 2004. It isn’t the same by any stretch. You can’t just compare an oscillator and call it a comparison. No software can produce that sound that never requires any fiddling in mixing. Only hardware does that and this one is as close to it as you get without getting the original.
😢
There are really two minimoogs and this is a clone of the later (same as the reissues from Moog). So it doesn’t sound like a v1 oscillator because it is/was never trying to be a pre ‘76.
You know...I didn't realize that the Model D had 3 Osc. Damn, not sure how I missed that. That's a LOT for such a budget synth like this. Thanks for making note of that.
Same as the Minimoog.
Thanks. First video of yours that I've seen. Well worth and a new sub. Looking at the Sweetwater page right now.
The model d was my first analog synth, and I certainly have a soft spot for it. It really forced me to learn sound design, and its layout really encouraged me to “play” the panel. It’s so much synth for so little money.
Laidback and clear video :) Thanks man! Just rushed to my model D
I have off-and-on been jonesing for a Poly D even though I don’t really have the room for another keyboard, but I don’t think I would want to replace my standard “D” with it even if I did. Such a useful and endearing synthesizer for $250. That Minimoog layout makes it so easy to tinker and it’s very gratifying to get something nice dialed in. Poly D is more versatile and has a lot bigger cool-factor but this thing is SO practical and efficient on space. I just have it sitting on top of my master keyboard underneath the second-tier keyboard where you can hardly see it. Throw it into a little reverb and you’ve got big sound with little effort.
It’s pretty clear you love the Model D. Very nice grooves.
Excellent...

I've been diving deep into software emulated synths and midi control, but even in that context? The sound I always gravitate towards for gnarly bass sounds is the always the sims of a Moog D.
So I think I'm just going to pull the chain and get one.
Great video BTW.
Cheers!
Early on i found to put the main out into that overdrive jack. It makes it go mad in a good way. Sold it after a few months, great tool for starters.
+1 mine is completely dedicated for bass. It sounds so good.
Nice room! Mines a mess. That’s my takeaway. Clean my room. Oh and play my Model D more. It is an awesome synth!
I like the Hainbach hands-on approach to sequencers. The most complex one he uses is an SQ-1, because he can fiddle around with the knobs and just experiment. Just a thought.
Love Hainbach 🙌
good stuff.
I just ordered one of these because of this video. I also just ordered a Hydrasynth 49, and I wanted an analog synth that made decent bass to layer it with. I have a Minilogue XD, but the bass doesn't hit the way I want it to. This should work really well.
I might get me a model D. I didn’t know modular synthesis was a great way to create music. Keep this kind of stuff coming.
the Model D is pure fun and cheaper than a simple repair job on any original moog - get one, you won't regret it.
Modular isn't a great way to make music. It's inefficient, confusing, and expensive. Which doesn't make it any less awesome.
I have an actual vintage Model D and this thing sounds great! We are currently selling ours for 10k... Might have to pick one of these up! Thanks for the video.
@infoslinger Thats the going price. How am I part of the problem? I didn't set the price. Original MINT 1974 Model D's are going for that much. From 6 to 15k depending on serial number, year and condition. Ours is like new and I'll take 8k for it if it's offered. What's your problem? I mean we paid close to that when we bought it 4 years ago.
@infoslinger I also just said I may pick up the Behringer because I don't feel the Original is worth that much. But the market is what it is. You sound super bitter.
omg you've got the *EXACT* same cans I've got, but I never had the ears re-covered and cable re-done... ha! *GOD* those Sony's and their delicious, wide-open magnets yumyumyum *
btw cost me like ~$280 *several* years ago _used_ on Ebay to get 'em. worth every penny of course, because it was the result of wayyyy too many hours of research (at the time) for my ideal pair
Yup, bought new two decades ago. Also bought new pads off of Amazon a couple years ago. Still going strong 🙌
@@TeftyMeems I'm getting pumped about fixing mine back up now! perhaps '22 is their year of rebirth 😁
Your mpc+behringer synth connections etc have been really helpful. I have a neutron and mpc one, as well as other "budget" gear, and with my humble setup, I can create so many sounds. None are particularly good sounding, but that's just user-error. Having so many midi and cv connection possibilities just ends up causing me problems, because I think that "if the choice is there, why not use it!?". Your approach with a usb hub is the way to go. Merry Christmas to you both.
Hey Dillip 👋 Merry Christmas and happy holidays! I fall in that trap often, if I have it better use it 🤣 I think it’s ear training from a producer perspective. It took me years to hear what I actually wanted in me head, and even more years to refine the “mix” side of things. Music production is a life long journey ❤️
Great !
Interesting, thx 🎼
For my MIDI portable Organ setup, 2 M-Audio keyboards (37Key Upper, 49 Key Lower) and a Voce V-5. I've added other equipment to it including a Roland VP-03 (clone of VP330), an E-MU Piano Module (dated but I like the way the midi Channel selector and octave transfuser on the front Panel), Yamaha QY-70 & Reface CP (Electric Piano with Effects) and a Behringer Model D.
The QY-70 is (With the E-MU and CP) Playable on all unused MIDI channels and is (outside of key velocity) Non-Expressive and generally played on the Lower Manual.
The Behringer Model D is playing on the Upper Manual, along with the Roland VP-03 on the Lower Manual are Under Expression, but through a straight while the Organ goes through a Leslie.
I just ordered a Yamaha Reface YC (makes Combo Organ (Farfisa, Vox, Acetone and Yamaha Combo Organ Tones, in addition to Hammond Tones) and plan to play it through the Model D Filter input.
This will allow the Model D Filter to Augment the Reface YC signal with the V-5 Hammond Tones and later with the Upper Manual Hammond Tones.
Love this! Thank you!
Thank you!
Subscribed and liked! Makes me want to trade my mother 32 for model D now
Excellent tone and pacing. Inspiring me to dust off my Polly D. I don’t use it enough.
You could boost your bass with filter emphasis, if you turn the filter to hi-pass mode. Then set cutoff to low frequency and resonate it with emphasis (low cutoff frequency will be amplified)
Love this video, you definitely hit it right on point with this unit! What kind of headphones are those you have on?
just saw you do have a video showing connections Thank You
Awesome! Thanks for watching 🙏❤️
Ive had mine for a few years now and it is indeed a go to. I've since added a Sub37 to my setup and both get plenty of use, it is incredibly impressive that a sub $300 synth can hold up to one that sells for ~$1500. My Model D is pretty far out of tune (about a semitone and a half sharp) and required calibration but it does the job.
I probably need to calibrate mine at this point. I've just ignored the amount of tuning needed and set it to "A natural" when it's warmed up.
@@TeftyMeems I use the 3rd osc in "fifths mode" a lot for techno stuff which is great - but performing live with it I really needed to get it calibrated up so that visually i could "see" when its set to a fifth. over my IEM's in a dense mix I found that "finding" the 5th was a bit dodgy.
"Make it fart out." That, right there is proper synth poetry.
the tone is great but what really stands out to me is your lighting and overall presentation, the studio looks so warm and lovely
It seems a bit of an understatement to say ‘Moog-ish’… it’s the exact circuitry of the Mini Moog.
I also use it exclusively for bass, but more of that “Jam On It“ bass sound.
I just got the Mini Moog Model D app on the iPad Pro and it has presets, fix etc, I am busy twiddling to get your sounds which are super $15 app so good to play around with
Hello
Nice video!! I’m curious to know how you have your Behringer Model D set up. I want to use mine with my MPC One and Triton Studio keyboard and later record live audio or stems into logic. Do you have a video on how you actually set it up? I don’t have a mixer but I usually sequence in my MPC one and export the audio stems to mix in Logic Pro
For having already tried it, this Model D does not have to blush next to my Subsequent 37!
Another great « cheap » bass synth that i like is the Novation Bass Station 2 👌
ruclips.net/video/R7BwLG56rls/видео.html
top thk you so clear ;-)))
❤️🙏❤️
I’d like to hear more about your DAWless setup and what you’re doing to orchestrate multiple synths, I’m considering the MPC platform instead of Ableton for that exact reason (live performance, editing synth patches during performance, and minimizing dependencies).
I am definatly a fan of this video... and while watching it I recognized that cream white bass again hanging over in the corner only to realise we have talked here before...
I absolutely love my Behringer Model D and it actually compliments my Moog Voyager RME insanely well... great job explaining its features man
Will the Poly D do this (and the whole bass thing) every bit as well as the Model D, or slightly less well?
ooooh is that an analogue heat on your desk sir..... id love one of those.
