Morphing
a bold new chapter in the story of synthesis
Imagine being able to sweep all the parameter settings between two different patches all at once. PolyBrute goes even further with each preset existing in two states simultaneouly - A and B - and the groundbreaking ability to gradually morph between them.
01
Starting on a classic synth pad, then gradually adding a brighter, more digital-sounding layer.
02
From a Clavinet to a Wurlitzer, and everything in between.
03
Hear a moody plucked sound morph into a washed-out pad.
04
An aggressive lead going from thin to very large and detuned, thanks to the unison features.
Expressive
tour de force
To complement its sonic power and colossal flexibility, we knew we wanted PolyBrute to have every conceivable means of performance expression. The single morph knob is the key that unlocks PolyBrute’s sweeping morph abilities - but it doesn’t end there.
The innovative Morphée controller
Non seulement il met le morphing à portée de main, mais en assignant les axes tactiles X et Y, ainsi que la pression Z, vous pouvez contrôler n’importe quel paramètre disponible dans la matrice de modulation de façon innovante. Vous pouvez même utiliser le Morphée pour randomiser vos séquences et vos arpèges avec les fonctions Spice, Dice et Ratchet !
Le contrôleur à ruban
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 the spectrum.
The Keyboard
Coupled with a premium velocity/pressure-sensitive keybed, pitch wheel and assignable mod wheel, and footpedal controller inputs, and PolyBrute excels beyond the realm of powerful polysynth.
Dual iconic filters
Add color and shape to your timbres with two classic filter designs, configurable in series, parallel, or continuously variable.
The Steiner
A timeless 12db/octave filter with continuous slope type, enhanced with the signature Brute Factor feedback for bite & bark in equal measure.
The Ladder
The legendary 24db/octave filter for that essential low-pass smoothness, supercharged with distortion to compliment the Brute voice.
Vitrine
sonore
Mars Geology
A simple and straight techno track. Everything but the kick is coming from the PolyBrute. Based on the “Pulsar” preset with some SFX presets like “FX Hoover” and “Massacre”.
Softness
A bewitching melodic track showing the spatial and ambient side of the instrument. A multitude of sounds, including “13 VCOs”, a pad sound “First Snowfall”, and 2 Sequences: “Floating points” and “Granular Freelance”. Everything but the percussion is made on PolyBrute.
Cool-Brute
A funky jazz track based on the "Wurlinet" preset, which uses morphing to transform a "Wurlitzer" style electric piano sound into a clavinet! The drum parts were also created entirely on the PolyBrute.
Spovtnik
A trip into orbit using 9 Polybrute instances. Based on a string ensemble sound (Solistrings), a sequence (Spovtnik), and a lead sound (Mini Lead).
Lost In Space
An ambient track created on one of the early Polybrute prototypes in summer 2019. It is made up of 6 different sounds played successively live in audio on a DAW. The sounds on this track use no external effects or additional synthesis sources - it’s all PolyBrute.
Poly Synergy
This minor melodic tune is made of 9 Polybrute presets sounds from Lily’s bank, and a conga loop for a richer percussion section. All effects are internal to the PolyBrute: no external plugins were used except Ableton Live 10’s compressors.
Between Ice And Fire
A track typically in the spirit of Massive Attack using 6 instances of PolyBrute to demonstrate the full extent of its power and rich sound.
Bridges
A dreamy ambient track reminiscent of the deep atmospheres of old-school Berlin music. This track is based on 4 PolyBrute instances demonstrating the extensive possibilities of morphing, most notably with the "PPG 4.0" preset.
Ghost
A dark progressive psytrance composition, with a triple-layer pad doing the heavy lifting on the atmosphere front. It uses 10 instances of the PolyBrute, with the kick and drums coming from my personal samples.
PolyFlutes
PolyFlutes A mysterious, chillout ambient track with the duophonic aftertouch in the spotlight, made using only the Polybrute 2.0 Factory presets. No external FX were used in this demo.
Hold The Line
Hold The Line Melodic dreamy funky track reminding the 80s ambiences. All the synth parts and melodies come from PolyBrute, with the use of external Live drum samples.
Dark Brutes
A powerful darkwave track on Polybrute FW 3.0 for all our synthwave lovers.
Poly On Mars
Playful, soulful modern piece using the Polybrute FW 3.0's best presets from the Factory.
Rainy Brute
This cinematic Blade Runner type track is 100% Polybrute FW 3.0.
Sweeping Memories
A dreamy ambient soundscape with layered keys, Steiner filter sweeps, and interlacing textures.
Formen
Intensely evolving and emotional ambient-IDM piece by Arovane, using only the Polybrute FW 3.0 Factory presets. Inspired by the complex rhythmic structure of the preset "Automat".
CyberSteiner
A perfect blend of dystopian video game soundtracks and bass music influences. Drums were externally sourced, all other sounds are from the Polybrute.
The Matrix
The digital brain for PolyBrute’s analog heart
The Matrix is where PolyBrute’s analog reactivity and digital precision collide - an advanced architecture unlike any synth before it.
1 Presets
Instant access to 768 presets slots, including patches from the greatest sound designers in the world. No menus, no waiting - just like everything else on PolyBrute.
2 Sequencer (séquenceur)
Une interface visuelle et tactile, comprenant tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour créer des séquences polyphoniques dynamiques, des arpèges, enregistrer le mouvement des potentiomètres, etc.
3 Mods
A 96-point digital patchbay with up to 32 destinations - easily route any of your modulation sources and controllers to influence dozens of PolyBrute’s parameters at once.
4 Morph
Adjust the modulation sources and destinations for the A and B states within a preset to deepen your morphing contrast and color.
