Poly D Paraphonic Analog Keyboard Synthesizer

KeyboardAnalogParaphonic

Inspired by the legendary Minimoog Model D but expanded for modern players, this paraphonic beast takes that classic monosynth vibe and lets you stack four voices for lush chords—something the original could only dream of.

At its heart are four versatile VCOs offering five waveforms each like triangle, saw, square, and pulse variations, tunable across six octaves, with Osc 4 adding a pure triangle option. A single 24dB ladder filter delivers switchable low/high-pass modes, resonance, and a dedicated ADS envelope, shared paraphonically across voices, alongside one amp envelope and a dedicated triangle/square LFO for modulation. Hands-on bliss comes from 84 knobs and switches in a Minimoog-style panel, including a 37-note semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch, plus glide, noise generator (white/pink), BBD stereo chorus, and Neutron-inspired distortion. Connectivity shines with mono audio I/O, headphone out, USB/DIN MIDI, CV/Gate, clock I/O, and poly chain for up to 16 voices. Compact at 23.6 x 13.4 x 5.3 inches and 15.4 lbs, a 32-step sequencer and arpeggiator round out the performance tools.

Players love its authentic, fat analog tone—especially in unison mode for massive leads—and the build quality punches way above its price, though some note the shared envelopes limit true poly expression and wish for patch storage. It's a gateway to vintage warmth without breaking the bank.
