The Arturia Polybrute is a polyphonic analog synthesizer equipped with a 61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch. This model features a wide array of controls, including an OLED display, a ribbon controller, and a unique 3D controller called Morphee XYZ made of black walnut wood. The core concept of the PolyBrute is sound morphing.
Features:
- Polyphony: 6 voices
- Two powerful oscillators with smooth waveform morphing, sync, and FM capabilities
- Noise generator with continuous noise color
- Extensive signal routing options
- Multifunctional 12 dB/octave Steiner-Parker filter, smooth filter shape transition - LP > HP > BP, and Brute Factor (patented Arturia feedback algorithm)
- 24 dB/octave low-pass ladder filter
- Additional FM capabilities in the VCF module
- Three envelope generators: 2 ADSR and DADSR
- 2 multi-wave LFOs with Phase, Fade-In, and Sync options
- LFO 3 with variable waveform and extended retrig capabilities
- Play in one-shot or loop mode
- Three digital effect slots: modulation effects, reverbs, and delays
- Multiple FX presets for each slot
- Send, Insert, or True Bypass modes
- 12x32 modulation matrix: up to 32 destinations and 64 connections
- 64-step polyphonic sequencer with the ability to record parameter and modulation positions
- OLED display and preset browser
- 768 preset slots and 384 factory presets
- 61-note velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch
- Ribbon controller
- Morphée XYZ controller
- Morphing control, sequencer randomization, or matrix mode selection
- Input and output synchronization
- Pedal inputs: one sustain + two expression pedals
Oscillator and Effects Section
The sound engine includes 2 analog oscillators, a series of filters -12db/octave Steiner-Parker and 24db/octave Ladder filters inspired by Moog filters, 3 LFOs, a noise generator, and an envelope generator section. There are also built-in effects: separate FX modules, reverbs, and delays. The modulation matrix (12x32) and a 64-step polyphonic sequencer are included. Features such as recording knob movements, multiple FX presets for each slot, matrix mode randomization, various modulation options, and switchable polyphony modes are available. There are a total of 768 slots and 384 presets.
For connectivity, there are 2 TRS outputs, a headphone output, Sync In/Out, 3 pedal inputs, MIDI In/Out/Thru, and a USB port. A wooden stand is available as an optional accessory (not included).
Intuitive Menu with Rich Features
The front panel of the instrument is designed to eliminate submenus entirely. All sound manipulations happen exclusively from the front panel. The PolyBrute boasts a modulation matrix with 32 destinations, envelope generators, a 64-step sequencer, and an arpeggiator, allowing for the creation of complex patterns and the editing of almost any aspect of the sound.
Package includes:
- Synthesizer
- Power cable
- Manual
