Arturia Polybrute: Unboxing & Demo

Today I unbox and discover the incredible Arturia Polybrute.
❤️ More about it here: www.arturia.co... ❤️
Please note that the merch you see in this unboxing is something extra that Arturia sent me because I'm an endorser. No merch is included in the standard Polybrute packaging.
Thanks to Arturia for giving me this unit! I love you!

[@brianheys]

The product designers at Arturia are coming up with some excellent stuff. Great build quality, fantastic sounds, and a thing of beauty too. A modern classic.

[@roryduncan9360]

“This synthesiser is full of consequences” - best observation from many comments made in other reviews!!!

[@WouterB76]

Consequences of paradise.

[@plan9fromsyracuse]

Just imagine what Edgar Froese would've done with this machine. Unbelievable. Bitter sweet to think about how far technology has come and those we lost who aren't here to enjoy and create with it.

[@JellyMelodies]

The thought of going back in time and handing these synths to some of the OG’s. I can only imagine!

[@NiceterCoolster]

ARTURIA Polybrute : 20 kg de puissance et de technologie française !!! Made in France 🇫🇷 Another great demonstration and video. Thank you Doctor Mix !!!

[@LabofmusicRecords]

vive la france 😂

[@lairdtomfrenchelectromusic2545]

@@LabofmusicRecords Quand même, vous ne pouvez pas nier qu'Arturia fait des produits de qualités. Comme vous les suisse qui font de délicieux chocolats et fromages. 😉

[@LabofmusicRecords]

@@lairdtomfrenchelectromusic2545 Excuse moi, but I don't speak French, sorry :) But yes, swiss chocola est tres bon :-) edit: and yes, I really like the PolyBrute, I need one, such a nice instrument, well donne ma french people :)

[@joemaffei]

That XYZ pad is a great surprise, but the wooden strip above the keyboard is also a ribbon controller!

[@g3cd]

Yeah, I actually watched to the end just to see how Flavio reacts to then 🥳

[@timoschmeichel5913]

Yes, nur that’s in the manual ;)

[@refuse2bsane]

Thank you. The entire video I was like..."is he gonna find the ribbon?"

[@k_t_a66]

He certainly did not find the most innovative thing on this synth (and IMO the strongest selling point) the morph button.

[@MrSpasticdancer]

we are living through the golden age of synthesizers. while there's been many great vintage synths.. i really think that synthesizers in 2021 are better than ever.

[@GertoHeupink]

It's a real game changer. As soon as I get mine creativity will break loose. I already own the Matrixbrute and Minibrute. Unbeatable combination these Three

[@director2bob]

so how did the polybrute work out for you?

[@pthomas36]

I just love watching this man discover a new instrument. It's never wasted time.

[@TheRealFieryBiscuits]

Wowzers, imagine being in a position where companies just give you their new synths. Also remember when arturia just made plugins? What an amazing journey they've been on.

[@mima85]

That's a really cool machine. Nowadays is a great period for synthesizers. After being fed with PCM-based synths and workstations, which dominated the manufacturers' catalogs for nearly 2 decades starting from the 90ies, finally there's a great choice of whatever you want being analog, digital, hardware or software.

[@kiko1935]

23:44 dude, how are you just gonna bust out the most soulful rendition of "time after time" I've ever heard like nothing? Amazing!

[@rrocktoo]

A box fresh Polybrute free of charge. Sir Mix you are winning at life. Congratulations.

[@DasHemdchen]

And getting it before the crowd does...must buy a tripod and start filming me on KZbin😂

[@rrocktoo]

@@DasHemdchen Viel Glück dammit

[@Deam0007]

WHAT A SYNTH!! Absolutely amazing how it sounds ! !

[@psychotrout]

Lately Arturia is doing a great job in reviving these classic analog sounds, they play incredibly well.

[@tranceemerson8325]

Claudio: *Starts playing* Mothership: We hear you loud and clear!

[@deniz_ildir]

If I received a Polybrute free of charge, also I would be laughing like Freddy on the Elm street

[@janoschamann3008]

Polybrute: *has a crazy 6D expression-device-touché-clone-thing stuck to its side* Claudio: Ehh nahh, that dusty expression pedal will do just fine xDD

[@professortrog7742]

Alternative: put your left foot on the touché thingy, but i doubt he is that flexible 😊

[@jasonmckoy5597]

19:55 - Wow! That pad was veeery nice! Sound design capabilities on this thing are ridiculous. Great playing as always Dr Mix! 😊

[@WilliamBurnett]

At the start of the unboxing I thought, wow, that's a nice touch to have a wooden wireless phone charger built in.

[@escobar64]

I thought “the coffee cup holder is missing!”

[@aloharay]

15:57 THX sound. Good to see the Doctor getting some Arturia love in. Watching and waiting for him to discover all the features of the expression pad.... 16:23 there it is!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

The Polybrute is simply; Brutal! I don't have to look any further for a synthesizer I like. Its not exactly cheap at 2500 Euro but also not out of reach for the average musician.

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

Got my Polybrute yesterday! Connected it today to my Hydrasynth by MIDI, and the combined sound was like a movie soundtrack fully mixed... but LIVE.

[@samborn7120]

The Polybrute gives me major CS-80 vibes! Love it!

[@LeonydaCruz]

i demand another version of this video but 3 hours long

[@panpanpanpan4631]

I love this guy and people with so much enthusiasm

[@Piktor201]

Wow. A beautiful synth! I could fall in love with it. BTW: your chords between 19:45 and 23:38 are so Alan Holdsworth style that I imagined his guitar may fade in every second. Very nice!

[@aquaticborealis4877]

A sound designer's dream I think. Especially the morph function.

[@jpaul2559]

Arturia has real quality products. And impeccable after-sales service, I personally had excellent relations with the technical department. I love ARTURIA. thank you Claudio. . neeeeeeeext lol

[@Doctormix]

Awww thanks JP! Neeeeeeext! 😂

[@soliv27]

It moved me too. No doubt several sounds are really much worthy !! :))

[@Sanciolo]

"This is truly beautiful"... indeed. Good demo too, shows this keyboard could very well be something for everyone!

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Best synth in the last 15 years imo

[@japoltube]

25:15 - of course Pat Metheny " Here to Stay" from the record We Live Here

[@Doctormix]

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy

[@BackSlashJvb125]

okay thnks for saying who it was, i need to hear it now

[@kiko1935]

you know this will be a good video with the amount of maniacal giggling Dr.Mix does at the beginning

[@odbo_One]

I have both poly and matrix, love them both equally.

[@TeddyLeppard]

AFAIC, Moog and Arturia are the best synth companies out there right now.

[@mortenrobinson]

AFAIC?

[@dougie6897]

@@mortenrobinson As far as I’m concerned AFAIC don’t make many good synthesizers

[@loellamarre4851]

I have to say.. this synth is very impressive for what I have seen and heard. The Moog One is one of the most amazing synths coming from Moog...but that is a whopping 9k. But this newer synth from Arcturia is a 3rd of the cost and just maybe a bit more amazing. Tell me if I am wrong...

[@Raffael-Tausend]

how have arturia not sponsored this video? AWESOME synthesizer!

[@Doctormix]

They gave me the synth :-)

[@nitbot]

@@Doctormix I wish Arturia gave me a Polybrute as well

[@nneeerrrd]

For the UK laws it's Paid Promotion

[@RayyMusik]

Claudio got all those accessories which weren’t in my package. :/

[@grrlpurpleable]

Claudio, you are an influencer and you have been 'gifted' a product by a brand. When a brand gives you a gift it is considered a 'payment' (i.e. any form of monetary payment, free loan of a product/service, any incentive and/or commission or a product/service has been given free) and any resulting social media post or video promoting that brand becomes subject to consumer protection law which is enforced by the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK. If the brand, Arturia for example, has editorial control over the final content then further consumer protection laws come into play as well. I love your channel and videos Claudio but you need to be REALLY careful here as you may be breaking advertising rules in the UK. I'm not an expert on this by any stretch of the imagination but basically you are promoting a brand in this video and they have gifted you the product (i.e. paid you) and the title of the video did not state that this was an advert before I clicked on it - this would be breaking consumer protection law. Yes it is an advert. If you had purchased the synth yourself then that would be entirely different but you would also need to be clear about that upfront to avoid any doubt. Were there other sweeteners in the box as well, such as a pillow, t-shirt, carry bag, pen, keyring, or does everyone that buys the synth get those too? I'm not going to report you, this is not about that, I just want you to be careful and not fall foul of the law. I want to keep enjoying your videos but you need to be careful and really clear when a video is a paid promotion (advert) or not. Best wishes

[@michalpachla2212]

That's very good younger brother of MatrixBrute:) Really powerful and good demo, Claudio! Greetings!

[@birdybutch]

know what? i love your channel Dr. Mix. just simple love it)

Thanks!!!! 🕺

[@Denver_Risley]

Oh, man, I can smell that fresh new plastic and metal! So sweet!

[@davidsobel3303]

first time I've seen someone use the morphe pad with his palm while modding with the wheels. Very cool.

[@KutayYavuzMusic]

I will be playing mine in about 2 weeks!

[@estevam_neto]

3:36 Oingo Boingo - Stay just came into my mind!

[@ZafroSoundz]

That maniacal laugh hahaha Wow! It really is a thing of beauty, enjoy bro!

[@3082frank]

Someday, I will own this synth..i promise myself. It is my determination to work extra hard to save money for this.

[@musella974]

I'm waiting mine, ordered in September. I'm happy to see you discovering this MACHINE ! I love to sculpt the sound and I think this synth can do it ! I love you video, you're like a child font of a new toy !

[@Gerald_Daniel]

You're right @Drmix. This is (even more than) beautiful, together with The Schmidt probably the best present poly analogue.

[@Bawookles]

How long until Doctor Mix realizes he has a ribbon strip?

[@AMPProf]

Where?????????

[@Bawookles]

@@AMPProf It's sort of invisible, but it's indented in the wood panel just above the keyboard.

@@Bawookles yooooooo it issss ooooooooooo

@@AMPProf Hahahaha! It is true I didn't read the manual!!!!

[@cpsnakemusic3082]

@@Doctormix It would've been even better if you like accidentally hit it and discovered it. You can't have everything though.

[@RoyMaya]

I haven't been a fan of the Arturia analog sound but this one is definitely giving me good vibes. How much do I have to save up? lol

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

I like the Flavor of THAT Brute a lot more already than the ones of the other Brutes that to me always sounded wayyy too aggressive and harsh.

[@EarlyMist]

It certainly sounds like a different beast

[@szabolcsnemeth574]

Claudio, this is a really BRUTE beast. Geez, I'm amazed. Great stuff again. :)

[@LuisJSFilho]

"Obrigado por este review"! thanks for the great content. greetings from Brazil! 👏🎹👊

[@Hamfantasy56]

Was a time when digital emulated analog: now with Arturia PB we can see the opposite thing: seems analog enters in the field of ambient-evolving over-effected sounds we where used to listen to with digital sinths and in recent years with VST "drone sinths" like dune, u-hes etc...IMHO I prefer analog classic, raw sounds PS: After listening better here and to other demos I've to admit that this sinth has all that huge, raw analog sound and strong muscles

[@perspectivaimporta494]

10:00 take my money please!!!! So epic and retro and futuro and heavenly!

[@alexandroskosmidis5206]

Removing that protection tape from the keys....Sheer pleasure!

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Loving the standard lamp by the sofa! Jeez that sound!! Wow!

[@greatheightsu]

Never have I wanted something so beautiful. Nice video!

[@rdoetjes]

Now this makes sense! I loved the sound of the Brute but the lack of polyphony turned me off. Wow that bottom end is still there. Oh man... why are you showing me this? I already have a massive wish list :) I think this will become a classic.

[@RicardoSalta]

You just managed to make the mythical THX sound (you called it Miramax) all like that without even looking at the manual because you like the exploration? And right after the trippy happy geese? Wut. I love your power.

[@expandingknowledge8269]

Aren't you just loving the filter in this thing 🎹 🎶 😎

[@markiosty8748]

Besides the morphing pad at your left hand their is also a morphing 'strip' along the keyboard on the wood trim

Today I went to check some midicontroller and arturia really have some very nice keybed...!! I was surprised to see that the 88mk2 felt a bit better than the Roland 88 But I will probably setle for the 49mk2 it was very pleasant to use !! This Polybrute seems really nice ! I'm glad they sent you one :) :)

[@LogiForce86]

Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky. I just love that song!

I was laughing when you discover the possibility of motion on the onboard wooden "pedal". And you even did not use the ribbon controler to morph between two presets... That is super cool option there :)

[@zeSpammmmmer]

16:15 the sound you were looking for is THX

I believe you were playing Pat Metheny., Sounded like him with Jaco albeit not exactly. LOL Love your videos, and I don't even play keys.

Boy sounds good, just imagine if they had added poly after touch so you could bring out those beautiful left hand counter melodic lines you improvised at 20:34?
