A multi-faceted tool for musical expression, PolyBrute 12 lets you seamlessly evolve and control any parameters while playing. The input-perfect sensitivity of the keyboard, the bi-timbral morphing presets, the multi-axis Morphée controller, the Ribbon controller - all work in perfect harmony so you can breathe vitality and intricate dynamics into your sound.
PolyBrute’s in-the-moment sonic display would not be possible without the raw energy of its Brute oscillators and dual enhanced classic filters. This, combined with its intuitive interface, elegant modulation Matrix and advanced software companion make PolyBrute 12 a synth for the ages - a matrimony of Brute force and human touch.
PolyBrute’s patented FullTouch® keyboard provides the exact position of every key across the entire range of movement. This not only allows for precise and dynamic aftertouch expression but it also puts versatility at PolyBrute’s core - allowing you to go from regular playing modes to exceptional aftertouch and envelope control at the touch of a button.
You can also use PolyBrute 12 to control any MPE-compatible VST. If you don’t have a MPE compatible DAW, you can still record expressively using MIDI 1.0, although at a lower resolution.
In this mode, the note is triggered by regular keyboard velocity and the classic aftertouch area corresponds to an assignable aftertouch signal, where all the voices receive the same level and amount of expression. Great for applying a unified modulation effect to a chord or phrase.
Each preset is made up of two sonic states, A & B. A dedicated Morph knob lets you seamlessly explore a continuum of sound between them. This, combined with the Morphée controller and PolyBrute's keyboard, paves the way for endless patch evolution and expressivity.
A very wide ambient pad sound. Full Touch adds a lot of depth by gradually opening up brightness and the reverb and chorus effects. Morphee allows you to evolve towards a brighter sound on Layer B.
A combination of tight envelopes and folding LFO's to create flanging plucks that are continually modulating as they are played. Aftertouch activates filter cutoff. Z elongates notes.
Relaxing EP with solid low end. Push Morphee Z to increase reverb time, and use ribbon to change the cutoff. Go to B for a pad sound.
This Marimba and Glockenspiel patch was an experiment in velocity sensitivity and the natural timbres that can be achieved with the Polybrute. The morph knob crossfades between the two instruments and the patch plays very well with the arp off.
Saw VCO1 > Triangle VCO1 > Square VCO1 > Sub VCO2 > Metalizer VCO1
PolyBrute’s sound begins with two analog VCOs sharing much of the same sonic architecture that has made the Brute family renowned.
Each oscillator generates sawtooth, triangle and square waves simultaneously, and you can mix between them to shape just the right signal source and timbre.
Dial in VCO 1’s Metalizer wavefolding to escalate from pure to punchy. Bring in VCO 2’s sub-oscillator to add an extra lower octave and some added rumble.
Erzeuge FM-Effekte durch die Modulation der VCO 1-Frequenz mit VCO 2 oder verändere das Obertonspektrum mittels Soft- oder Hard-Sync.
VCO Sync evolving
Metalizer evolving from minimum as a triangle waveform to the maximum Metalizer setting
A 2-pole 12db/octave Steiner filter design with continuous sweepable slope types, as seen across the Brute range. The addition of the proprietary Brute Factor feedback control lets you add anything from subtle warmth to a electrified growl.
An arpeggio with a Steiner filter sweep on the Polybrute 12 Voices.
Simple saw with resonant steiner filter sweep. Lowpass, Highpass, then Bandpass.
Inspiriert von der legendären 4-Pol-Kaskade (24dB/Okt.) von Dr. Bob Moog. Ein Tiefpass-Klassiker mit Gain-Kompensation und asymmetrischer Verzerrung für markante polyphone Sounds.
An arpeggio with a Ladder filter sweep on the Polybrute 12 Voices.
A classic analog key sound using the resonant Ladder filter with different sweep modulations. (Cutoff and Filter Envelope)
Im seriellen Modus kombinierst du die Stärken beider Designs zu einem einzigartigen Filter mit zwei unterschiedlichen Flankensteilheiten.
Neben der freien Zuweisung der Klangquellen zu den Filtern kannst du bestimmen, ob diese seriell, parallel oder in einem Mischverhältnis arbeiten.
Im Parallel-Modus kannst du die beiden Filter separat routen – für eine diskrete Stereosynthese, bei der der linke und der rechte Kanal unterschiedliche, sich entwickelnde Klänge erzeugen können.
PolyBrute weaves a web of envelopes and LFOs that’s intricate and unpredictable in equal measure - a dynamic display of sonic motion.
Der VCF und der VCA des PolyBrute verfügen über anschlagdynamische ADSR-Hüllkurven, die außerhalb der Matrix fest verdrahtet sind und so für sofortige Ergebnisse sorgen. Der dritte Hüllkurvengenerator besitzt eine Verzögerungsstufe (DADSR) und kann zur Bearbeitung beliebiger Modulationsziele in der Matrix verwendet werden. Nutze die verschiedenen Wiederholungs- und Loop-Modi, um deinen Patches eine komplexe Dynamik zu verleihen.
Die drei synchronisierbaren LFOs des PolyBrute decken einen extrem weiten Bereich ab – von wunderschönen, sich entwickelnden Klanglandschaften bis hin zu schrillen Modulationen bis in den Audiobereich. Optionen für Waveshaping, Polarität und Retriggering eröffnen vollkommen neue Klangwelten. Experimentiere mit Matrix-Routing und Tempo-/MIDI-Synchronisation für hyperrhythmische Effekte.
Die Flexibilität eines Modularsystems, kombiniert mit digitaler Präzision und analoger Wärme für ein nahezu übersinnliches Polysynth-Erlebnis.
32 target parameters, 64 connections in total. Rearrange PolyBrute’s signal chain with the touch of a single button. Dial in positive or negative amounts, intuitively assign one or more destinations via any relevant controls, instantly route PolyBrute’s array of performance controllers and advanced modulation sources to influence just about anything in the instrument’s chain - all without a convoluted array of wires.
Die Matrix steuert nicht nur das umfassende Modulationsrouting des PolyBrute, sondern ist das Herzstück seiner gesamten Architektur. Im Preset-Modus kannst du mit der Matrix einen der 768 Patch-Speicherplätze auswählen. Der Morph-Modus ermöglicht die erweiterte Bearbeitung von Morph-Zuständen. Im Sequenzer-Modus verwandelt sich die Matrix in einen intuitiven visuellen Pattern-Editor.
Trigger patterns from the keyboard or use the Hold mode to maintain a progression - freeing your hands to grab controllers, tweak parameters and/or play along.
An inspiring multi-mode arpeggiator that lets you spontaneously create ideas, randomize them, or freeze them into sequences to preserve the magic of the moment.
Use either real-time or step input to record up to 64 steps, each with 12-voice polyphony, and tap in everything from overdubs to accents to slides per step, complete with Matrix-powered editing and sequence management.
When you activate the arp in the FullTouch® envelope mode, the aftertouch will be converted into a velocity signal allowing you to control Filter & VCA modulations. Therefore, you can use the keyboard to control the color of your arp, as it evolves.
If standard arpeggiation isn’t your game, the Matrix Arpeggiator mode combines the best of PolyBrute’s Arpeggiator and Sequencer into yet another innovative creative resource. Map up to 6 held notes for each step and craft melodies and ostinatos intelligently and intuitively.
As if there aren’t enough ways to animate your PolyBrute patches, the Motion Recorder instantly captures the movement of almost any knob or controller which can be recorded one at a time. It then automatically plays that motion back with every triggered note.
These effects include algorithms from our critically acclaimed FX Collection. Choose between 3 types - Modulation, Delay, Reverb - and unlock all manner of immersive textures, from Chorus to BitCrusher, Karplus to BBD delay, Plate to Dreamy reverb.
Die Effekte des PolyBrute wurden speziell für die komplexe Stereo-Architektur entwickelt. Sie lassen sich sogar vor dem Ausgang als Inserts einzufügen und das Delay/Reverb als Sidechain-Send konfigurieren.
These stunning presets span a multitude of genres and musical timbres, designed by experts in every sonic field and enhanced to bring out the dynamic capabilities of PolyBrute’s expressive features. Each preset is composed of two distinct states, allowing you to morph between an infinite spectrum of sound.
PADS
A very wide pad sound on layer A with a slight detune of the voices using the poly unison mode.
Layered and cinematic sound with two sounds playing at once.
Atmospheric and airy patch with random filter movements.
BÄSSE
