Arturia PolyBrute 12 Polyphonic Analogue Synthesiser

We say...

One of the most hotly anticipated synths of 2024 is finally here. This is a real monster of an instrument, building on the already superb PolyBrute with more voices and extra expressive features. Truly one of the finest polysynths you can own!

Manufacturer's description

Continuing the legacy of its predecessor as one of the most powerful and expressive analog synths ever made the PolyBrute 12 goes a step further, redefining musical expressiveness with an expanded 12-voice architecture and groundbreaking Full Touch® MPE technology polyphonic keyboard. This synth isn't just an instrument; it's a conduit to unprecedented soundscapes.

Polybrute 12 takes in-the-moment sonic expression to a whole new level with a Full Touch® keyboard that tracks the position, pressure, and touch of each key and allows for exceptional precision and seamless polyphonic aftertouch across the entire key movement range.

From subtle nuances to powerful dynamics and momentum-sensitive envelope control, this keybed offers three distinct aftertouch modes which bring the musician into a direct and tactile connection with their sound. This, plus the iconic Morphée pad and ribbon control, means that each preset can be played in a truly multi-dimensional way - elevating expressivity for results which are simply breathtaking.

PolyBrute 12 is here, offering a colossal, rich, luminous and infinitely mutable sound that will define a new era of expressive analog synthesis.

Next-level expressiveness

PolyBrute’s Full Touch® MPE polyphonic keyboard brings unparalleled sensitivity and control, allowing each note to be modulated independently for incredibly dynamic composition. This plus the 3-dimensional Morphée pad, wooden ribbon controller and motion recorder, makes truly multidimensional modulation possible.

Limitless sound design

The 12-voice architecture of PolyBrute 12 combined with its analog oscillators, filters, advanced matrix and integrated FX allow for an infinite spectrum of sonic color to be explored. Choose between 768 dynamic presets or advanced end-to-end sound design and discover PolyBrute’s seismic sound.

Tactile workflow

PolyBrute 12 continues the tradition of hands-on, immediate control, offering a tactile and engaging sound design experience without the need for menu diving or shift functions. If you wish to tweak PolyBrute from your computer, you can do this too via the VST editor.
