Arturia Polybrute 12 – A Groundbreaking Analog Polysynth

Arturia has just unveiled their latest innovation – the Polybrute 12. This powerful new instrument pushes the boundaries of analog polyphonic synthesis and musical expression. At its core, the Polybrute 12 is a 12-voice analog polysynth with immense sound sculpting capabilities. The keyboard also features Arturia’s FullTouch technology.

Polybrute 12 is made to take every little movement and pressure from your fingers and turn it into different sounds. The keys are pressure-sensitive across their entire surface and travel, not just at the initial strike. Three distinct playing modes for polyphonic aftertouch expression included in Polybrute 12 are:

1. Classic monophonic aftertouch
2. Polyphonic aftertouch with independent per-note modulation
3. FullTouch mode for multidimensional X/Y/Z axis control over multiple parameters

So by moving your fingers side-to-side on the keys, or varying the pressure, you can control things like the filter, LFO rate, or effects in real-time as you play.

With 12 independent voices, you can play chords where each note responds differently to your finger movements. This allows for very expressive, evolving timbres and textures that constantly change based on how you perform.

Some other noteworthy features include:

1. Complex modulation matrix to route sources to destinations
2. Morphing between two distinct sound variations
3. Built-in arpeggiator and step sequencer
4. Preset storage for patch recall
5. Software editor that mirrors all controls for deep editing

The Polybrute 12 combines the warmth of analog synthesis with a pioneering performance gesture control system. This bridges the gap between physical playing nuances and sonic articulation.
