Sound
corner
A truly polyvalent synth, able to traverse vast sonic territory

From the most striking basses to glistening pads and utterly alive and undulating composition textures - PolyBrute 12’s sound transcends all boundaries.

The most expressive
synthesizer ever
Discover an immense and animate sound that will send shivers up your spine.

At Arturia we believe that technology can enhance the connection between humans and sound. By engineering a machine to be as sensitive as it is powerful, where every subtle nuance and detail of performance is captured - the inner creative voice can be heard with more resolution than ever before.

FullTouch
A patented keybed architecture that has been years in the making: FullTouch® describes the keyboards’ dynamic aftertouch responsiveness - able to capture the precise position and acceleration of each key across the entire movement range.

With three new aftertouch modes, PolyBrute 12 invites a playing style that evolves and breathes; allowing composers, artists and synthesists alike to express their inner creative voice with unparalleled delicacy and detail - for a sound that can go from incredibly subtle to infinitely expansive in one motion.

Unrivaled
sonic palette
PolyBrute 12’s voices, signature Brute oscillators, dual analog filters and modulation matrix allow for more sonic possibilities than any other synth - from luminous pads to synth-string plucks.

The Oscillators

It all begins with two powerful Brute analog VCOs that generate sawtooth, triangle, and square waves simultaneously. Add edge with the Metalizer and low-end depth with sub-oscillator, as well as having cross-mod & sync controls right at your fingertips.

The Steiner & Ladder Filters

Add color and shape with two classic filter designs, configurable in series, parallel, or continuously variable. The first, a Steiner 12db/octave filter with continuous slope type, enhanced with signature Brute Factor feedback; the second, the legendary 24db/octave Ladder filter for that essential low-pass smoothness, supercharged with biting distortion.

Modulation
matrix & more
Create your own unique web of modulators and dive deeper into your sound design than ever before; the Matrix is where PolyBrute 12’s analog reactivity and digital precision collide.

1 Presets
Instant access to 480 presets and hundreds of preset slots, including exclusive patches from the greatest sound designers in the world.

2 Sequencer
A tactile visual interface with everything you need to create dynamic polyphonic sequences, arpeggios, parameter motion recording and more.

3 Mods
A 96-point digital patchbay with up to 32 destinations - easily route any of your modulation sources and controllers to influence dozens of PolyBrute 12’s parameters at once.

4 Morph
Adjust the modulation sources and destinations for the A and B states within each preset to deepen your morphing contrast and color.
