Arturia Polybrute 12 Analogue Polysynth Sonic LAB Review
More sounds demo (30mins) and samples on patreon.com/sonicstate
And here it is, the top of the range flagship analogue polysynth from Arturia - the Polybrute 12.
Its a beast and as such does not deviate too far from the orginal synth in terms of the architecture. What it does have is double the polyphony at 12 voices, plus a brand new keybed which not only features Poly Aftertouch, but a new control paradigm called FullTouch which allows expression to be controlled from the moment you touch a key.
We reviewed the original when it first came out, we recommend you watch that for a deep synthesis dive. In this review we're looking at the new Keybed and FullTouch feature - it really adds some d...

    The chompi has a workflow that NEEDS to be showcased. It has a very specific sample creation, or loop-writing/one-shots of a melody or percussion part, and finally full song kinda stuff. It can do so much, and while it does have constraints, it can really fine tune sampling anything, especially if you're mic'd up and roaming around for some weird ahh noises

As far as high synths go I still have the most GAS for the UDO Super Gemini. Looks and sounds incredible. And the enthusiasm of the CEO makes me want to buy one. Amazing device. What amazing times we live in for synthesizers. So many amazing things out there these days,

    Nord Lead 4 has 7 impulse morphs via 3 buttons, yeah its not an analog synth but still that idea has been around for a long time. Arturia stuff is well made but I find their oscillators have a coldness to them, the filters also sound kinda meh. Would like to have seen a different combination of filters added for this beast so that it had a point of difference between it and the matrix and poly brute, Nick seems to make any synth sound good though.

    It really is a beautiful beast with tremendous possibilities... But, there is something about the sound itself that just doesn't do it for me... I can't put my finger on it, but it's almost like it doesn't have a distinct character, or a voice of it's own. Strange. I really want to fall in love with this one, but the sound just isn't doing it for me...

      For me the major advantage of the PB12 would be 6 voices in layer mode. But having enough others synths to layer with I‘ll also stick to my PB6. What slightly annoys me is the sheer weight of the PolyBrutes. The Prophet-6 and OB-6 also have six discrete voice cards like the PB6 and weigh just 9.5 kg. Why is the PB6 more than twice as heavy? Certainly not only due to the additional keyboard octave.

      along with a friend of mine, who knows synths & synthesis more than anybody else that I know, we were able to play around with the polybrute 12 at the synth & pedal expo here in los angeles. I came off in love. he came off feeling like it sounded like a VST in a box. that led me to ask him what his thoughts are on another more recent synth that I'm also totally in love with... the hydrasynth. I figured, it being totally digital, he may feel the same about it as he does about the polybrute. he says he really loves the hydrasynth. so, his overall thought is not about analog vs digital, or anything like that. it's purely about the sonic character of the instrument. (I still love the polybrute, though. I think it sounds wonderful.)

      The PolyBrutes sound as analog as analog synths can do. Even the init patches already have some vintage oscillator detune (despite calibration!), which is a good thing. If you make use of Voice Component Modeling or at least the built-in ‘vintage‘ options, it doesn‘t sound like a “VST in a box“ at all!
