Imagine Polybrute
Imagine using 6 analog voices to craft a sound that's powerful, raw, and entirely yours. Imagine a sound existing in two states simultaneously in a single preset, with seamless morphing between them.
Imagine multi-axis performance controls offering next-generation musical expression. Imagine instant and limitless modulation at your fingertips. Imagine a polysynth made by musicians, for musicians.
PolyBrute Firmware V2.0
PolyBrute’s first major firmware update expands the flagship Brute’s uniquely powerful morphing abilities exponentially, introducing a wealth of creative enhancements, inspiring presets, and radical features. Bend analog to your will like never before.
Get Free Update Discover what's new →New EQ & Ensemble Effects
Shape the final stage of your patch with one of 7 EQ shapes in a new 4th FX slot, and expand & enrich PolyBrute’s stereo field with a 3-delay Ensemble effect inspired by vintage studio gear.
Synth Accuracy
Inject further degrees of imperfection and randomness to parameters beyond pitch; adjust the accuracy of controls like OSC pulse width, filter settings, unquantized LFO rate and more for a humanized feel.
Chord Mode
PolyBrute now incorporates our instant-access Chord mode for playing chords with a single note on the keyboard. Simply hold ‘Polyphony’ and play up to 6 notes to set your chord voicing.
Duophonic Aftertouch
PolyBrute’s aftertouch expressivity can now be tailored to suit your performance style. Configure Aftertouch to only apply to the last note or group of notes you press, leaving previously held notes unchanged.
LFO 3 Curve Enhancements
Set PolyBrute’s third LFO curve to respond differently for further modulation control within your patch. Rise or fall, exponential or logarithmic, the shape of this LFO is entirely yours to mold.
Real-time Display Feedback
PolyBrute’s screen now displays parameter names and values in real-time, so you can focus better on your patch and stay on top of every little sonic tweak.
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.
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.
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
The Matrix
The digital brain for PolyBrute’s analog heart
The Matrix is where PolyBrute’s analog reactivity and digita 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
A tactile visual interface with everything you need to create dynamic polyphonic sequences, arpeggios, parameter motion recording and more.
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.
