Continuing the legacy of its predecessor as one of the most powerful and expressive analog synths ever made, Arturia 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 to 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.
