In this introductory lesson, we take a guided tour of the Behringer Poly D and outline how the course is structured, giving you a clear roadmap for what you’ll learn and how everything connects.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand the overall layout and signal flow of the Poly D
• Identify the role of oscillators, mixer, filter, envelopes, and modulation
• Recognize how paraphony works and how it differs from true polyphony
• Navigate modulation sources like LFOs and envelopes
• See how effects, the sequencer, and the arpeggiator fit into the synthesis chain

This lesson sets the foundation for everything that follows. By understanding how each section functions on its own—and how they work together—you’ll be prepared to move confidently into deeper sound design, advanced techniques, and creative workflows throughout the course.
