Arturia Polybrute 12 - Endless Creativity with the NEW FullTouch MPE Keyboard!

[@triplebeam23]

I like the color choice alot more with this one .. that cream Oberheim color looks so good

[@SuperChaoticus]

Beautiful synth. Now I just need to wait for that 90% off sale. Next month, maybe?

[@vincewizz8534]

Awesome review, very informative and with the right level of technical details. This synth is super tempting, so expressive and… so 70s in its beige livery 🔥

[@hvegel]

lovely demo, for someone such as myself (quite unfamiliarised with the Arturia ecosystem) this was incredibly enlightening. cheers!

[@asynchronicity]

The nice man forgot to unbutton the top button!

[@TOMLEW1S]

@Cheeses_K_Ricedit’s a style choice 😂

[@AwesomeSauceShow]

Quite a dry and professional presentation, now give it to DR.MIX to excite me creatively 😊

[@NickSBailey]

Dr. Mix is great with his infectuous enthusiasm but he's better watched for demoing classic synths rather than a broad overview of a new synth and its features

[@Culture_of_Ghosts]

The red glow coming through the black grills is a nice effect

[@MrVoonix]

And the girls work completely passive. So no blowing. Because the grills are at the top and bottom it uses a physical way of cooling the voices.

[@YotamPiano]

Sounds majestic! Jack looks different today ;P

[@imbuildingasynth]

yeah i aint watching this without the regular andertons synth dude.

[@gosampeinturemusique]

Great demo , thanks 👍🏻💖

[@guymorrison4800]

Awesome - I tried the original polybrute in our local music shop and had a ‘chromey’ tone like the Rob Papen vsti Blade. Sounds like they’ve changed the native tone style a bit for the 12 and I think that might be right move. The new look is great too.

[@MrVoonix]

It has the exact same tone style and exact same voices (voice boards). The only changed the included presets that utilities the expression :)

[@guymorrison4800]

@@MrVoonix it’ll still be awesome. Just heard through phone speaker.

[@guymorrison4800]

@@MrVoonix and also I think it was default set to a LP filter bias/orientation and there are the other filters which will benefit from that

[@MrVoonix]

@@guymorrison4800 yes its awesome. never said different :) I love my polybrute. my favourite synth ever.

[@Wagoo]

Finally we can talk about it

[@philfisher8962]

I Think we're starting to get closer to "Vangelis and Yamaha CS80 territory", but I'm not actually sure if it's there yet or not. The CS-80 could / can vibrate each key (if I'm not mistaken) so you could get a vibrated type string sound, like on a cello or violin. Perhaps this can do it in another way and perhaps it can do much more. It looks and sounds great!!!! A bit out of my price range though!!!

[@Helvanic]

Polyphonic morphing ? Wtf man I need that

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Finally a synth that rivals the memorymoog.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

@Cheeses_K_Riced No. I think it does other things... It's it's own thing.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

I think Memorymoog, Yamaha CS-80 and this Polybrute 12 are synthesizers that are on the same level.

[@trstack]

Isn’t the morph pad on the left of the keyboard now redundant based on the poly aftertouch& full touch?

[@shehzadamurthy1983]

I don't think so. Cuz the pad will affect the whole range of pressed keys, but the polyphonic aftertouch will only affect the keys you are pressing harder. So individual control over notes. Let me know if I'm wrong :)

[@trstack]

Change the poly aftertouch to channel aftertouch and you achieve the same thing.@@shehzadamurthy1983

[@tblv9300]

monster of a synth

[@g3cd]

Jack looks different and is less fun today 🤔

[@sergeyermolenko6034]

Это надо два года учиться управлять совершенно новой ракетой, затем пару лет прирастать к ней чувствами, душой, пальцами и идеями. У многих наверняка получится так, что синтезатор станет управлять скромными идеями и самим творчеством, и за волшебным звучанием спрячется банальность и посредственность, что мы уже проходили с CS-80 и с RJ-8. Очень немногим, буквально единицам удалось применить их триумфально и гениально (Jan Hammer).Да и когда заниматься командным творчеством, командной слаженностью? В чём смысл новшества с шокирующим ценником?Если это диво дивное революция для Вангелиса или Жана Мишеля Жара, то очень даже понятно и здорово. Но для Gentle Giant, Magma, Zappa, Genesis, ELP, ELO, U.K данная шикарная вещь - пятое колесо в телеге. Привет из России/Советского Союза.

[@MusicWizard85]

I've grown away from any synth with a ton of knobs, menu diving, and costs more than 3k USD. I think the Astrolab was a refreshing, to the point kind of synth reasonably priced.

[@loweni7460]

Despite the hate they get Behringer is the most reasonable with their prices where else can you get a 12 voice synth, with aftertouch, a 32 step mod matrix & built in effects at less than a grand? I've owned my deep mind for a while now and I've never heard anyone say anything negative about it

[@MusicWizard85]

​@@loweni7460 The Behringer UBXA has definitely caught my eye!

[@Sateevadom]

Great Stuff Tom! I want

[@JBrm]

Are MPE compatibility and the revamped PB Connect coming to the original PB as well?

[@georgepalilismusic]

U call that thing a monster...? it deserves a better descritpion.. its just amazing what Arturia brings us... all the time... REspect to that company realy.... what a Beauty,..... who dares wins!

[@caleb5780]

Cool

[@Notmehimorthem]

What has happened to MIDI 2?

[@igorcarvalhopadilhaandrade5886]

😃Excellent😃

[@bjornkreuze7423]

Yummie.😊❤

[@mick3950]

Love it when its cool .????

[@mchockney3664]

The design's giving me some serious hospital ICU ca. 1975 vibes. Propably a good thing, since the price almost gave me a heart attack.

[@RayyMusik]

If you want more modern ICU gear, buy a Waldorf Kyra. 😁

[@kevrenshaw6177]

LOL Polybrute SIMFF.... Love the London accent but mate.. Cant beat a Northern accent... RAAVER as opposed to Rather.. We need to celebrate the Englaish language and never shy away from our heritage !!!! The synth sounds so similar to the original.. but love the new features.. !!! Gotta say, if you need your sound to be immediate in your mix then the Sequential series are better but as an all round poke you in the eye and create esoteric stuff... Polybrute.. Go Arturia

[@mark35mi]

$4000

[@MonadTransformer]

Still cheaper than a CS-80. Although, not sure if I wouldn't just buy an Osmose eventually.

[@thehomienicked8208]

This looks incredible, but is just way too much synth for me.

[@allkeyspro6606]

Interesting! It’d be great to hear it actually played by someone who can really play it, instead of just holding chords.

[@augustleo7434]

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.....

[@thegimpsometimes5937]

It’s amazing how you can jam so many features into a synth and still not make it special. Sad state of affairs

[@AntonKuznetsovMusic]

Osmose is better :P

[@trstack]

Osmose is different…

[@MrArpSolina]

My Casio VL-1 is far better!

[@EduardoRohdeEras]

Excellent upgrades in features, but what an ugly design... it used to be a good looking synth.

[@federicosuarezdelcerro4311]

Noir edition should fix it

[@eddievanheinous666]

It looks like a 1975 station wagon

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

Agreed.

[@lextron-audio]

I really like it

[@zivdayan8919]

I think it’s gorgeous!

[@pkweon]

1st?
