Descriere

Polyphonic analog synthesizer based on the monophonic but very opulent MatrixBrute. Polyphonic analog synthesizer With the Polybrute, Arturia makes a statement in the field of synthesizers. In the style of the monophonic, but very opulent MatrixBrute, the Arturia PolyBrute is now the first own polyphonic analog synthesizer. The six-voice instrument shines with two analog oscillators, two very different filters (Steiner-Parker and Moog-style), an extensive modulation matrix, sequencer and some effects. The pleasantly playable keyboard spans over five octaves with 61 keys, is velocity sensitive and even has aftertouch. Sonically, the Polybrute covers a wide range of classic analog sounds from the 70s to today. Thanks to the oscillators, which also offer mixable waveforms and of course don't miss the proven Metalizer, the basic sound alone is both modern and timeless. The large keypad with 12 x 8 controls fulfills different tasks depending on the mode. This is used to program the polyphonic sequencer, manage the stored sounds, assign the morphing and set all modulation assignments. If you want to handle this storable flagship like a primal analog synth, simply press the Panel Mode; from then on, what you hear corresponds to the current settings, regardless of what was in the memory space before. A real highlight of the Arturia PolyBrute is the morphing. It is possible to crossfade continuously between any two memory locations. Since there are 768 presets available, you could save a variant of a sound with different oscillator levels and/or modulation intensities and morph between these two presets. Or you could morph between a percussive bass and a pulsating pad sound; let your creativity run wild. Sound Generation The rich basic sound of the Arturia PolyBrute is created with two analog oscillators that generate the Metalizer, Pulse Width and Sawtooth waveforms in parallel. Metalizer is primarily a triangle waveform with a wavefolder that generates harmonics that tend to have a metallic character as the value increases. Pulse Width is the classic square wave with pulse width modulation; the sawtooth more than lives up to its task; rich in overtones and punchy.Oscillator 2 also has a sub-oscillator. Between both oscillators, oscillator FM and Hardsync can be adjusted continuously. Both tone generators and the tunable noise generator can be found in the mixer section, where the routing into the two filters is also determined for each signal source. Filter The color-coded filters are Steiner-Parker State-Variable-Filter and 24dB Lowpass filters. The former is continuously variable from Lowpass via Highpass to Bandpass and has as an additional parameter the Brute Factor known from Arturia synthesizers, which is in concept a feedback circuit within the filter. The SVF has a very grainy sound with increasing resonance. The second filter is a classic 24dB Lowpass filter in the style of the Moog Ladder filter, which may be familiar to many from the...
