Arturia PolyBrute 12 Polyphonic 12-voice Morphing Analog Synthesizer

The Arturia PolyBrute 12 is a high-end, professional analog synthesizer designed for musicians, sound designers, electronic music producers, and live performers.

It is one of Arturia's most advanced hardware synthesizers, combining powerful analog sound generation, extensive sound-shaping controls, sophisticated sequencing, and an exceptionally expressive keyboard.

The PolyBrute 12 is capable of producing everything from warm vintage analog basses and lush orchestral-style synthesizer pads to aggressive industrial sounds, futuristic textures, cinematic effects, and complex evolving electronic soundscapes.

Its most distinctive features are its 12-voice analog architecture, unique sound-morphing system, and FullTouch expressive keyboard.

Keyboard and playing experience

The PolyBrute 12 features a five-octave, 61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard.

What makes this keyboard particularly special is Arturia's FullTouch technology.

Unlike an ordinary synthesizer keyboard, it offers highly expressive control over each individual key.

Features include:

• 61 velocity-sensitive keys.
• Polyphonic aftertouch.
• FullTouch technology.
• Multiple aftertouch operating modes.
• MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support.
• Adjustable keyboard response.
• Pitch bend and modulation wheels.
• Dedicated ribbon controller.

You can press individual keys with different amounts of pressure and continuously influence the sound while playing chords or melodies.

For example, you could play a four-note chord and independently change the brightness, vibrato, or intensity of each note.

This makes the PolyBrute 12 feel much more expressive than a traditional keyboard synthesizer.
