With the Polybrute, Arturia makes a statement in the field of synthesizers. In the style of the monophonic, but very opulent MatrixBrute, the Arturia PolyBrute is now the first own polyphonic analog synthesizer. The six-voice instrument shines with two analog oscillators, two very different filters (Steiner-Parker and Moog-style), an extensive modulation matrix, sequencer and some effects. The pleasantly playable keyboard spans over five octaves with 61 keys, is velocity sensitive and even has aftertouch. Sonically, the Polybrute covers a wide range of classic analog sounds from the 70s to today. Thanks to the oscillators, which also offer mixable waveforms and of course don't miss the proven Metalizer, the basic sound alone is both modern and timeless. The large keypad with 12 x 8 controls fulfills different tasks depending on the mode. This is used to program the polyphonic sequencer, manage the stored sounds, assign the morphing and set all modulation assignments. If you want to handle this storable flagship like a primal analog synth, simply press the Panel Mode; from then on, what you hear corresponds to the current settings, regardless of what was in the memory space before. A real highlight of the Arturia PolyBrute is the morphing. It is possible to crossfade continuously between any two memory locations. Since there are 768 presets available, you could save a variant of a sound with different oscillator levels and/or modulation intensities and morph between these two presets. Or you could morph between a percussive bass and a pulsating pad sound; let your creativity run wild.
