(Open Box) Arturia - Polybrute 61-Key Synthesiser

infinite modulation potential!Arturia’s newly released 6-voice 100% analogue ‘Polybrute’ builds upon award-winning technology and the company’s synth know-how to deliver the polysynth the world has been waiting for. ‘Polybrute’ features incredible morphing design and sturdy, expansive 61-key range to launch your sounds in to the synthesizer stratosphere!

‘Polybrute’ features a host of parameters to deliver the immediate satisfaction of real-time hands-on control across the entire analogue domain. Each and every voice within Polybrute is packed with versatile sonic features and features two hugely flexible ‘Brute’ waveshaping VCOs, a full spectrum noise generator, enhanced ‘Steiner’ multimode filter, custom lowpass ladder filter, 3 LFOs, 3 Envelope Generators and much more. Each of these meet up in the Matrix to offer patching flexibility, usually reserved for modular systems.

It’s possible to use Polybrute’s 6 voices polyphonically, or in splits and layers, these can then be stacked in ‘Unison’ mode for when you want to have some real fun! The end result of all of this is a near-endless palette of sounds, ranging from Beauty to Beast!

At a glance • 6-voice analogue morphing polysynth

available now!Arturia released the first major upgrade for the Polybrute, called Soundshaper - it's now available for download via MIDI Control Centre and on arturia.com

This 2.0 update adds a tonne of user requested features, plus a whole new collection of tools that elevates the Polybrute to brand new heights!

32 assigned Matrix modulationsImagine being able to smoothly sweep all parameters at once. PolyBrute goes even further, with each preset existing in two states simultaneously, and a dedicated Morph knob that lets you seamlessly morph between them, revealing an infinite continuum of inspiring new sounds in between.

Great feeling pitch and multifunction wheels provide familiar expressivity, with the flexibility of parameter assignment. There's even an assignable touch-sensitive strip immediately above the keyboard ready for you to slip, slide and tap. Arguably at the heart of this expressive performability is the Morphée three-dimensional touchpad. This revolutionary feature offers 3-axis control over patch morphing, sequence/arpeggiator randomization, or up to 32 assigned Matrix modulations per axis - adding a unique human touch.

Finally, PolyBrute is supercharged with expansive modulation functions. Say no to static basslines and monotonous chord voicings; use 3 LFOs and 3 Envelope Generators to inject organic move-ment and dynamics like never before.

built-in high-quality
digital effects library!For a polysynth to truly shine, depth simply isn't enough - width is a necessity. PolyBrute features left and right unbalanced 1/4" jacks for your master stereo audio output - with functions specifically designed to make the most of the stereo field.

Stereo displacement of voices can be controlled in the output section. This subtly pans each of the 6 voices left and right to varying degrees, allowing you to swing from a focused centralized sound, to a larger-than-life immersive width. In addition, the dual filter design can be routed in parallel, resulting in a discrete stereo sound. In this mode, the left and right channels can have different evolving sounds that be manipulated with the morphing features.

Finally, a built-in array of high-quality digital effects adds the finishing touch to your patches in full stereo fashion. We’ve included favorite algorithms from our critically acclaimed software FX Collection, along with some new reverbs and delays to take advantage of PolyBrute's stereo architec-ture. Better still, you can modulate certain effects' parameters with the mod matrix for animated space and texture that's out of this world.

arturia'PolyBrute' is more than a synthesizer - it's a 6-voice analogue powerhouse, with unprecedented expressivity and sound morphing capabilities, built to let you perform fearlessly, compose with fluidity, and explore sound in perpetual motion.
