Thanks to the 6 analog voices, you can create a sound that’s powerful, raw, and uniquely yours. Sounds capable of existing in two states simultaneously in a single preset with seamless morphing between them. As well as multi-axis performance controls that give you next-level musical expression. Not to mention the limitless and instant modulation directly at your fingertips. Above all, the PolyBrute is a polysynth made by musicians, for musicians.
PolyBrute Firmware 2.0 Features
New EQ & Ensemble Effects
Shape the final stage of your patch with one of 7 EQ shapes in a new 4th FX slot, and expand & enrich PolyBrute’s stereo field with a 3-delay Ensemble effect inspired by vintage studio gear.
Synth Accuracy
Inject further degrees of imperfection and randomness to parameters beyond pitch; adjust the accuracy of controls like OSC pulse width, filter settings, unquantized LFO rate and more for a humanized feel.
Chord Mode
PolyBrute now incorporates instant-access Chord mode for playing chords with a single note on the keyboard. Simply hold ‘Polyphony’ and play up to 6 notes to set your chord voicing.
Duophonic Aftertouch
PolyBrute’s aftertouch expressivity can now be tailored to suit your performance style. Configure Aftertouch to only apply to the last note or group of notes you press, leaving previously held notes unchanged.
LFO
3 Curve Enhancements Set PolyBrute’s third LFO curve to respond differently for further modulation control within your patch. Rise or fall, exponential or logarithmic, the shape of this LFO is entirely yours to mould.
Real-time Display Feedback
PolyBrute’s screen now displays parameter names and values in real-time, so you can focus better on your patch and stay on top of every little sonic tweak.
Evolution of the PolyBrute sound
Raw, powerful, and organic. The analog Brute voice is an unmistakable force to be reckoned with when it comes to sonic capabilities. But how about having six at once? PolyBrute’s six-voice power starts with two Brute waveshaping oscillators. porting sprawling timbral versatility from its delicate airy pads to snarling stacked bass. These six voices are sure to excel in any application.
What’s more, you can tame or animate these oscillators with an expanded array of multiple filters, envelopes, and LFOs. So you have complete control over the analog domain.
Morphing
Another great feature of the PolyBrute is its unmatched morphing abilities. Allowing you to perform, compose, and explore sound without any boundaries. Not only can you sweep all the parameter settings between two patches at once. But you can also gradually morph between two different states within any patch. Giving you the power to launch into an infinite continuum of inspiring new sounds.
How does it work? The PolyBrute takes hands-on control to another level with the all-new Morphée three-dimensional performance touchpad. Ensuring intricate morphing expression is always directly at your fingertips. Manipulate any facet of the PolyBrutes sound across the X, Y and Z axis in an instant.
But wait, there’s more! PolyBrute is packed with even more articulate controllers to give your compositions an elusive human touch.
