PolyBrute
Sintetizador analógico polifónico de transformación
Like no synth
before it
This is a new approach to synthesis.
PolyBrute goes against the grain to provide something entirely new - and not just a new sound, new feel, new design.
The raw energy of Brute oscillators, stacked six voices high, shaped by the versatility of dual enhanced classic filters. But with PolyBrute, a patch isn't just a single sound; it's an entire spectrum of sonic color that can be traversed at the touch of a single control. Attain the unattainable.
With such sonic depth comes the need for tactility. Playing PolyBrute is like suddenly being able to play several instruments at once; a multi-faceted tool of musical expression. From the classic ribbon strip to the state-of-the-art Morphée controller, each component is designed to respond to your every musical nuance.
Sounds complicated? Not a chance. PolyBrute's intuitive function-per-knob interface and the tactile elegance of the Matrix puts next-generation sound comfortably within reach.
Morphing
a new musical dimension
Infinite positions on an elusive spectrum of sound, instantly accessible.
Seamless transitioning of multiple parameters from one state to another, and everything in between. Morphing, combined with the Morphée and PolyBrute's uniquely eloquent inventory, paves the way for endless patch evolution and expressivity.
Clément Bastiat
Going from a percussive patch with an emphasis on rhythm, to something smoother, with a pleasant arpeggio-like modulation.
Euan Dickinson
The base is a filtered, wah-like tone, which turns into a plucked synth key sound using Metalizer, a Brute signature.
Morphing allows you to start from a moody plucked sound, to a soft lead, then back again.
You can quickly alternate between a pad-like envelope, and sharper, more percussive sounds, with a single twist of a knob.
Great synths
start with great sound shaping
PolyBrute’s seismic sound begins with two analog VCOs sharing much of the same sonic architecture that has made MatrixBrute and the rest of the Brute family famous.
Each oscillator generates sawtooth, triangle and square waves simultaneously, and you can mix between them to waveshape just the right initial timbre.
Waveforms
Saw VCO1 > Triangle VCO1 > Square VCO1 > Sub VCO2 > Metalizer VCO1
Then dial in VCO 1’s Metalizer wavefolding to escalate from pure to rude. Bring in VCO 2’s sub-oscillator to add an extra octave lower or really rattle some teeth.
Consigue efectos de FM agresivos modulando la frecuencia del VCO 1 con el VCO 2, o altera sutilmente los armónicos con sincronía suave o dura.

Two filters
are better than one
Tame the rawness of the Brute oscillators with not one, but two filters at your disposal - time-tested classics, fused with thrilling enhancements.
_1 VCF 1 Steiner
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 raunchy growl.

_2 VCF 1 Ladder
Inspirado en el legendario diseño de escalera de 4 polos y 24 dB/octava del Dr. Bob Moog: un paso bajo clásico con compensación de ganancia añadida y distorsión asimétrica para aportar agresividad a tus patches polifónicos.
Ladder filter with and without resonance going up to self-oscillation.
Ladder filter plus distortion.
En serie
En el modo en serie, combinas las fuerzas de ambos diseños, formando un único filtro único con dos pendientes diferentes.
Continuo
Además de asignar cada fuente de sonido de forma independiente al filtro que elijas, también puedes decidir si los filtros funcionan en serie, en paralelo o en una mezcla de ambos.
Parralel
En el modo paralelo, puedes enrutar los dos filtros por separado para conseguir síntesis estéreo independiente, en la que los canales izquierdo y derecho pueden tener distintos sonidos cambiantes.

Modern
modulation sources
La modulación siempre ha sido esencial para dar vida a los sonidos sintetizados.
PolyBrute weaves a web of envelopes and LFOs that’s intricate and unpredictable in equal measure - the sound of motion itself.
Three Envelope Generators
El VCF y el VCA del PolyBrute cuentan con envolventes ADSR sensibles a la velocidad configuradas fuera de la matriz para ofrecer una respuesta inmediata. El tercer generador de envolvente incluye una etapa de delay (DADSR) y puede asignarse para transformar cualquier destino de modulación de la matriz. Usa los modos de repetición y bucle para añadir movimiento complejo a tus patches.
Three LFOs
Los tres LFO sincronizables del PolyBrute cubren un intervalo extremadamente amplio, desde paisajes sonoros cambiantes hasta modulaciones agresivas en el rango audible. Las opciones de moldeado de ondas, polaridad y redisparo te permiten llevar el sonido más allá de lo convencional. Experimenta con el enrutado en la matriz y la sincronización con el tempo/MIDI para lograr efectos hiperrítmicos.
Enter
the matrix
La flexibilidad del patching modular, combinada con la precisión digital y la riqueza analógica, crea una experiencia polifónica revolucionaria.
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 the spaghetti nest of wires.
Pero la matriz no solo se encarga del enrutado de la modulación: es el núcleo de toda su arquitectura. En el modo Presets, úsala para seleccionar cualquiera de los 768 sonidos. El modo Morph permite editar estados avanzados de morphing. El modo Sequencer transforma la matriz en un editor visual intuitivo de patrones.
Animate and automate
your sound
When you want to set your sound in motion, there’s no faster way than engaging PolyBrute’s Sequencer/Arpeggiator section, instantly accessible via the Transport section, Matrix, and keybed.
Trigger patterns from the keyboard or use the Hold mode to latch the keys you touch - freeing your hands to grab controllers, tweak parameters and/or play along. It’s the closest thing you can get to flying without leaving the ground.
32-Step Arpeggiator
We’ve taken the Arpeggiator way beyond the expected, giving you inspiring new modes ranging from predictable to delightfully random. When you hear something you like, the push of a button can even convert it to a sequence to preserve the magic of the moment - further editing and refinement optional.
64-Step Polyphonic Sequencer
Use either real-time or step input to record up to 64 steps, each with 6-voice polyphony. Record in Overdub or Overwrite mode, with velocity, accents, ties, and slides per step, then make refinements with streamlined Matrix-powered editing and management options - more than your everyday sequencer.
Jagged filter envelopes, effect decays, and vibrating polyphonic drones await.
You can play along live with your sequences via split and layer modes. Use controllers to change timbre and other PolyBrute parameters during playback - great for bringing nuance, character and dynamics to your sequence-aided performances. You can even record changes from up three different controllers into a sequence to automate textural changes.
Go for solid predictability or dial in the degree of random probability you want to continually shake things up.
Imagine the possibilities of doing that with just about any PolyBrute control. You can optionally set playback speed from 1/8 to 8x what you performed - and even loop playback for repetitive effects.
Motion Recorder
As if there aren’t enough ways to animate your PolyBrute patches, the Motion Recorder instantly captures your movement of almost any knob or controller - and then automatically plays that motion back with every triggered note.
Matrix Arpeggiator
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 which of up to six held notes will sound for each step, with mutes, octave transpose, slides, and even modulation tracks. Then that same pattern will apply to any notes you hold - craft melodies and ostinatos intelligently and intuitively.
Integrated
digital effects
PolyBrute incorporates built-in professional-grade digital effects into every patch, with parameters that can be modulated to no end - rounding off an all-encompassing palette worthy of any stage, studio, or soundtrack.
These effects are no mere afterthoughts, either - we’ve even included favorite algorithms from our critically acclaimed FX Collection. Choose between 3 types of effect - Modulation, Delay, Reverb - and unlock all manner of immersive textures, from Chorus to BitCrusher, Karplus to BBD delay, Plate to Dreamy reverb.
Los efectos del PolyBrute están diseñados especialmente para aprovechar su compleja arquitectura estéreo; tienes la opción de insertarlos todos en serie antes de la salida o configurar el delay y la reverb como envío en cadena lateral.
