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

It does more than just put morphing at your fingertips; you can discreetly map the X and Y touch axes plus the Z pressure axis to bring a new form of control to any destination parameters available in the Mod Matrix. You can even use the Morphée to randomize your sequences or arpeggios with spice, dice, and ratcheting!

The ribbon controller

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.

filters polybrute
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.

Sound
corner

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.
