In the style of the monophonic, but very opulent MatrixBrute, they now present the first, own polyphonic analogue synthesizer with the Arturia PolyBrute. The six-voice instrument shines with two analogue oscillators, two very different filters (Steiner-Parker and Moog-style) an extensive modulation matrix, a 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 analogue 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 analogue 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 in the Arturia PolyBrute is the morphing. It is possible to crossfade continuously between any two memory locations. Since with 768 presets enough sounds are available, you could e.g. save a variant of a sound with different oscillator levels and/or modulation intensities and morph between these two presets. Or you could make this change between a percussive Bass and a pulsating surface sound; you can let your creativity run wild. Sound generation The rich basic sound of the Arturia PolyBrute is created with two analogue oscillators that generate the Metalizer, Pulse Width and Sawtooth waveforms in parallel. Metalizer is primarily a triangle waveform with a wavefolder that generates harmonics that tend to have a metallic character as the value increases. Pulse Width is the classic square wave including pulse width modulation; the sawtooth more than lives up to its task;...
