Description
PolyBrute 12 is the most expressive synthesizer ever. With a FullTouch keyboard, unrivaled sonic palette and advanced software companion - it offers more sonic possibilities than any other analog synthesizer.
A machine as sensitive as it is powerful, embodying a dynamic and expressive sound on par with acoustic instruments.
The next-generation keyboard; the 12-voice architecture; the modulation matrix; the Morphée pad; the ribbon control; the bi-timbral morphing presets - PolyBrute 12 unites them all so you can discover truly breathtaking composition textures.
Conduct an ensemble of parameters with every keystroke, feel the Brute force of PolyBrute’s analog VCO’s, weave a web of envelopes and LFO’s with the modulation matrix - discover a colossal, rich, luminous and infinitely mutable sound that will define a new era of expressive analog synthesis.
The keyboard enables polyphonic aftertouch expression across the entire key movement range, inviting incredibly dynamic composition unmatched by any other synth. Choose between regular synth action aftertouch modes and FullTouch® modes for a cascade of modulation at your fingertips.
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.
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.
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.
From the most striking basses to glistening pads and utterly alive and undulating composition textures - PolyBrute 12’s sound transcends all boundaries.
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.
The Morphée controller 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!
PolyBrute 12’s voices, signature Brute oscillators, dual analog filters and modulation matrix allow for more sonic possibilities than any other synth - from luminous pads to synth-string plucks.
It all begins with two powerful Brute analog VCOs that generate sawtooth, triangle, and square waves simultaneously. Add edge with the Metalizer and low-end depth with sub-oscillator, as well as having cross-mod & sync controls right at your fingertips.
Add color and shape with two classic filter designs, configurable in series, parallel, or continuously variable. The first, a Steiner 12db/octave filter with continuous slope type, enhanced with signature Brute Factor feedback; the second, the legendary 24db/octave Ladder filter for that essential low-pass smoothness, supercharged with biting distortion.
Create your own unique web of modulators and dive deeper into your sound design than ever before; the Matrix is where PolyBrute 12’s analog reactivity and digital precision collide.
Combining the tactility of analog hardware with the convenience of virtual instrument flexibility, PolyBrute Connect replicates the entire front panel as a standalone Mac/PC app and a plugin for all major DAWs.
PolyBrute enters a new era with its groundbreaking FullTouch® MPE keyboard combined with the same controls, buttons, and expressive components that are a delight to use. Crafted with the finest materials, including walnut wood and a striking aluminum exterior - PolyBrute 12 is designed to meet the demands of professional musicians as well as appeal to the enthusiasts. Its not just for looks either, the vents at the back provide passive cooling so PolyBrute can operate in complete silence.
