This keyboard is a dream if you know something about sound and synthesis. The quality of sound is hard to believe all of the oscillators are rich, the tones generated are pure and clean and the ability to modify them and send them through the very high quality onboard effects is astounding. There is a new feature too which is to morph between one sound and another, this is really cool. The controllers are also new and different, touch and pressure sensitive, this gives the ability to manually control the sounds in an innovate and highly intuitive way. Well done Arturia, hats off to you for making this versatile and intuitively playable synth. Just wow.

The 12-voice architecture of PolyBrute 12 combined with its analog oscillators, filters, advanced matrix and integrated FX allow for an infinite spectrum of sonic color to be explored. Choose between 480 dynamic presets or advanced end-to-end sound design and discover PolyBrute’s seismic sound.
Morphing & multi-axis control
Morph seamlessly between two states in a single preset and discover PolyBrute’s innovative Morphée controller which allows you to transition between 3 destination parameters. Combined with PolyBrute’s keyboard, discover truly limitless in-the-moment modulation while you play.
Seamless DAW integration
PolyBrute Connect provides a coherent bridge between PolyBrute and your virtual studio projects. Manage your patches and easily import new presets and sound banks. Control PolyBrute in real-time with every parameter change mirrored between synth and software.
12-Voice Polyphony
Create complex and lush harmonic structures, huge unison effects, dynamic sonic layering and split keyboard performances with PolyBrute 12’s expanded voice architecture. Use each hand and finger to command a unique aftertouch input per key for never-before-heard composition textures.
Morphée controller
It does more than just put morphing at your fingertips; you can discreetly map the X and Y touch axes plus the Z pressure axis to bring a new form of control to any destination parameters available in the Mod Matrix. You can even use the Morphée to randomize your sequences or arpeggios with spice, dice, and ratcheting!
The ribbon controller
We’ve resurrected the coveted ribbon controller, once a staple on classic hardware synthesizers. Positioned immediately above the keybed, you can assign it to your chosen modulation destination and glide effortlessly up and down to alter your sound.
PolyBrute 12 takes in-the-moment sonic expression to a whole new level, with a groundbreaking FullTouch® keyboard that brings you into direct and tactile connection with your sound like never before.
A machine as sensitive as it is powerful, embodying a dynamic and expressive sound on par with acoustic instruments.
