If i could afford this i would, ive been an arturia enjoyer since the microbrute, which i still love, added a microfreak to my sound palette two years ago and now im ready for a centerpiece type synth to my modest setup. Ive ordered a poly d and am excited for its arrival in a couple months but its no polybrute, but it's within my budget so who am i to complain considering what other people are going through right now. The polybrute 12 is an heirloom synth and i think it sounds wonderful.

I love the voice architecture and while there are a wide range of things it can do well some of the design decisions and their impact (on it an PB6) will never make sense to me. Morphee sharing mod source lanes. Ladder and Steiner Parker instead of 2140 and SEM. One pair of outs. Clean gain staging across the whole signal path. (Feedback on the SP with "brute factor" is NOT the same as overdriving filter mixer sources) End result is when you peel back all the expressiveness and use no effects on a well made "bread-n-butter" analog bass, keys, lead, brass/wind solo or organ sound Prophet type magic is simply not there. (Same for brass/wind sections and pads; no Oberheim type magic) It does NOT need to sound just like or even super close to a Prophet, Jupiter, or OB-X, but it needs to get a lot further into those "spaces" than it can because of those design choices IMHO. Those types of patches when well programmed do NOT sound bad on it, but they also do NOT make you sit up in your seat while a shiver goes down your spine.

All that performance control and all those features, all in the service of an uninspiring sound. They can make a super duper $20K version the size of a grand piano and it still won’t be a great instrument. A $100K violin doesn’t command that price because it’s loaded with tons of features that other violins don’t have. It commands that price because of its basic sound…the sound you hear when you rub a bow along its strings. I’ve watched dozens of videos about this synth and its predecessors. I haven’t heard anything inspiring or transcendent. Instead of more bells and whistles, the company needs to invest in developing a better filter.

I was trying to convince myself that this synth sounds bad because I don’t support Arturia’s other synths (the Drumbrute was alright), but honestly in my opinion this has the most Polyphonic Synthesizer-est sound that I can think of right now and reminds me of when I was listening to 80’s and 90’s New Age as a kid. A lot of synths I have, I feel like I’ve pushed the boundaries of them and this synth seems to have a high ceiling for pushing boundaries!

So I've definitely felt this way about some other modern premium keyboard synths... the UDO series comes to mind and the Moog One also. Great instruments, amazing technically, just not inspiring to me in terms of sound. Not something I would see myself reaching for, especially, to record w/. Personally I opted for an OB-x8 and have tried out a lot of the vintage Rolands... d-50 is definitely my favorite. I think the 3rd wave has a lot of character and the prophet remakes are obviously great too. Nothing else you can get on the market really does it for me, personally. Looking farther back, the alesis andromeda and nonlinear labs c-15 are also worth a mention as really innovative (high ticket) keyboards that I think have at least a bit of character. When it came to OG polybrute, I could definitely see what you all mean. This one somehow is sounding better to me on first impression. Two things definitely stand out... the mpe compatibility and dynamic controls AND all the options for waveforms and driving feedback / fm, along with the mod matrix. I feel like the only place you could get some of these sounds up until now was the modular world... and that's actually a big deal imo, which could make it worth it for me.

On the other hand, "oh wait, I have no other hand, I sold it to buy a polybrute 12". I already feel sorry for the filthy rich fanboys that will buy this.
