In the world of analog synthesizers, innovation is the key to evolution, and Arturia has once again pushed the boundaries with the introduction of the PolyBrute 12. Revealed at the prestigious Super Booth 2024 event, this flagship synthesizer is a testament to Arturia’s commitment to excellence and a nod to the future of sound design.
The PolyBrute 12 is not just another synthesizer; it’s an instrument that redefines what musicians can expect from analog synthesis. With its Full Touch Keyboard and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) compatibility, the PolyBrute 12 offers a level of expressiveness and control that was once the domain of digital instruments alone.
At the heart of the PolyBrute 12 lies a 12-voice polyphonic engine, capable of delivering rich, complex sounds that can morph and evolve with the touch of a finger. The Full Touch Keyboard goes beyond traditional aftertouch, providing polyphonic aftertouch expression across the entire key movement range. This groundbreaking feature invites musicians to explore dynamic composition in ways that were previously unimaginable with analog synthesizers.
The MPE compatibility further enhances the expressive capabilities of the PolyBrute 12. Each key can respond to the subtlest nuances of touch, allowing for individual modulation of pitch, timbre, and volume per note. This level of detail brings the PolyBrute 12 closer to the responsiveness of acoustic instruments, bridging the gap between electronic and organic music creation.
Arturia’s innovative approach extends to the PolyBrute 12’s sound design possibilities. The synthesizer boasts an extensive modulation matrix, a Morphée pad, and a ribbon control, all of which unite to offer a vast sonic palette. From the deepest basses to the most ethereal pads, the PolyBrute 12 can traverse an infinite spectrum of sonic landscapes.
The integration of PolyBrute Connect software ensures seamless DAW integration, making the PolyBrute 12 a perfect fit for both studio and live performance setups. Sound designers will appreciate the ease with which they can manage patches, import new presets, and mirror parameter changes between the synth and software.
Arturia’s PolyBrute 12 is more than just a synthesizer; it’s a bold statement in the world of analog synthesis. It stands as a beacon of creativity and expression, inviting musicians to discover new horizons of sound. As the flagship synthesizer from Arturia, the PolyBrute 12 is set to become an essential tool for artists seeking to push the boundaries of music.
