SUPERBOOTH 2024: Arturia - Polybrute 12 Polysynth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- At Superbooth 2024, we met up with Sebastien from Arturia unveiled the new flagship polyphonic analog synth, the Polybrute 12*. With 12 voices and a new MPE-capable polyphonic aftertouch keybed designed specifically by *Arturia*, the *Polybrute 12 *is noticably larger than the original, and is a major upgrade offering an enhanced range of sound and modulation possibilities. Sebastian emphasized the expressive nature of the instrument, demonstrating the *Full Touch mode which senses the key travel from the top to the bottom of the keypress. Original *Polybrut*e features like morphing between patches and the Morphe XYZ controller and the lovely wooden ribbon controller are all present and correct. The Arturia-built Keybed must be the standout feature, however, bringing extreme expressivity to your playing.
The Polybrute 12's enhanced capabilities over the original Polybrute include larger unisons, ideal for creating layered soundscapes, and innovative touch envelope modes that allow for dynamic and precise control over each note.
Polybrute 12 Price 3,999 Euros

Lovely to see your enthusiasm, Sebastien!
This approach to aftertouch seems very intuitive, if they bring this to some premium MIDI controllers they can become quite popular.
Arturia's Poly12 on designing the new keybed: "it's harder than you think". So glad you spent so much time on this! Very few keyboards get this just right. I'm a solo pianist, getting a synth keybed with a level of expression that lets me explore my skill at touch is very rare! I gave away three keyboards this year because they were so uncontrollable. One was so slow to return a key to the top position it was impossible to play fast. One the velocity was impossible to control; had to turn off velocity. One had a sustain pedal impossible to control.
So have you tried this one yet? Or you just feel this is more likely to be what you're searching for? I imagine how challenging it could be for a musician with well established technique to adapt to such quite different instrument. Or maybe are you planning to try PolyBrute 12 in near future? Really interested to hear about your impression after you try playing it.
so much passion and excitement from Sebastien, love it!
There’s a touch of genius in Arturias design team!
YES!!! And now something for the keyboard master, polyAT+.
Looks like Arturia has created a massive synth that will grow with its owner.. hopefully they will apply this new keybed to their next gen of keyboard controllers.
This thing is a beast. I think to get the best out of it you need to be a player. Great presenter as well. He really knows his stuff and is not at all phased by questions.
A future classic.
Absolutely.
fr no cap this our juno106 +6 more voises tbh
Super-6
@@SPAZZOID100 super 6 lol
I looks almost pastel pink with the reflection from the huge video screen and the camera, white balance.the sound, well, this guy makes it sound very musical.
Love the sound and look of this (probably a Marmite issue, but I think the colour looks stunning). I particularly like the way they've done the poly-touch, although the Osmose does different and perhaps more articulation, I really like that this has a more regular-feel keybed. This one's very special.
Bravo Seb, great demo 👏🏽👏🏽
Sebastien on fireee 🔥🔥🎉🎉🙌🏻
Got to like this guy's real enthusiasm and modesty in presenting this synth so well.
4:28 "Bernoulli effect?" Nick, you're a legend. Sounds like you did A level physics as I did and remembered it!😂
It's _convection_ - the Bernoulli effect is what makes wings fly. However, let's stick with it since it sounds cool, and this synth can fly high! :-))
Congrats, great synth and keybed 🎉, looks and sounds lovely to play, who needs a car anyway
It sounds great and a very good demo. I bought my b-stock, open box, fully new, never unpacked, PolyBrute for 1665 Euros, two years ago. I’m not convinced I’m ready to spend more than double that for 6 more voices and the new keyboard, however good it is. Hopefully the price will go down over time…
8:18 The sound of a really great orchestra tuning up!😂😎😎😎❤
It would be very interesting to trigger small arps and fills that start from a specific key as you play based on the key pressure. All kinds of ideas. It might be something you could set up in Bitwig say. Such a great synth. Very cool.
EDIT: Oh wow at the end, the per key emphasis stuff. Brilliant. Amazing thing this.
This dude makes it sound better than various other demos. He might have sold me one ... but money!
Very Osmose inspired! I'm glad other manufacturers are picking up on these new playing techniques!
Stand alone midi controller with this keybed please!
I love it, Microbrute 2 next please!
Noir version, pretty please
I have been waiting to hear from Sebastien on this release. He is my through line for years on Arturia's releases. He has a gentle, intelligent way of explaining the products while communicating his enthusiasm. The synth is, of course, very impressive. More companies should make such efforts to build expressive interfaces for playing synthesizers rather than leaving that job to others. We now have a few examples, but there really should be more. Bravo to Arturia for doing this. One hopes this technology makes its way into more-affordable products than a $4K brute. However great it is, it isn't going to be in my budget any time soon. Now that Arturia has made this investment in deep expressivity, the benefits should be allowed to enrich the whole line (and maybe we have seen the beginning of that in the 'freak synths).
Yes he is a great presenter. Very engaging as a person. It's like having a real person with real enthusiasm showing you an interesting musical instrument, not just a product.
Thanks
15:15 shit just got serious 🤩
Finally a synth that rivals a cs80
I’ve not been fond myself of the polybrute sound, but that is a personal taste. However, I will be curious to Arturia’s next MIDI controller, having this incredible touch-envelope keybed, a display for each knob, a built in sequencer ánd easy on the spot layering between different destinations.
Having owned the polybrute for around 2 years, I find it hard to imagine anyone not liking it’s sound. Each to their own..
@@lextron-audio indeed. About taste, it's hard to debate 😋
What about the sound do you not like? I mean compared maybe to some other named keybords. It sounds great to me here but it's just one sweet spot. Some of thecother denos, I wasn't so keen on some of the sounds, so for me it depends on the programmmer and player.
@@lextron-audioI asked the other guy why he didn't like it so I'm going to ask you why you do like it. How does its sound compared to other synths for instance ... or what are its strengths, whatever you can tell me.
@@davebellamy4867 it is a wonderful synth. It's very expressive. It can sound very organic and it can also sound very digital when using the brute factor and metalizer. The matrix is amazing for creating modular style stuff and the Morph is genius for finding new sounds in-between 2 patches. The FX are beautiful.
would never sell it.
Honestly they should mention both expressive e and Haken in this presentation. What they are presenting as "full touch" are a subste of ideas taken from the Osmose (not to mention the controller on the lest of the synth).
This synth is on my list and will be most likely under the Christmas tree this year. It has been compared to the Yamaha CS80 and this comparison is rightful.
Arturia, can we please have the Keybed 49 Pro MIDI controller based on the PB12? We'll forgive you for the odious Astrloab.
This is my definitive inheritance synth.
Just waiting...
6:53 not mentioning the elephant in the room (which i sold when seeing the polybrute 12 "leaked video" )
I never felt the Arturia 'brute sound lend itself well for polyphonic play, maybe it's the Steiner Parker filter.
Yeh , a bit of a rant....Besides the obvious.. CS-80, a true behemoth with poly aftertouch..... Its incredible to think , the only manufacturer that had Poly Aftertouch was Ensoniq.. From the SQ80 (1987) , across most its range, for decades.... Then , Creative labs bought it , just to let it go into oblivion , Just for Ensoniqs IP, re how they implemented Sound Cards using PCI... (Creative , Get Stuffed)
I just wonder If the Ensoniq Patent expired, as recently theres so many manufacturers release Poly AT..
Good to see Arturia expanded on the use... I love the osmosis with its x/y/z MPE.. But you need to adapt your playing style...
This seems the perfect implementation, for me at least...
I was wanting a Polybute, Now A few things for sure... Im selling some vintage , to get a Polybrute 12 (and A mantis....)
Well done Arturia.. Well done.
My ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe has poly aftertouch.
@@NavelOrangeGazer Thus my question i the go post. "I just wonder If the Ensoniq Patent expired, as recently theres so many manufacturers release Poly AT.."
Ensoniq had poly AT from 87 until they were purchased by CL in the late 90's.
Plus the Prophet T-8 in 1983? Though that had some kind of optical system I think. Whether for velocity or poly aftertouch or both. Even though the top panel said "Pressure Mod," I'm not sure it sensed pressure or key position.
Yes that's an interesting question. Sensor technology has moved on many miles since the 80s. It's probably just recent-ish sensor technology that can be implemented in mass production.
I own an Ensoniq VFX and it has the poly AT keybed. They could have patented it the way they implement the poly AT, but not the whole thing. As far as I remember, the AT in the Ensoniq synths work with electromagnetic coils, but has been not very reliable due to be prone to interferences from the power supply.
Looks scrumptious, would prefer a more affordable desktop version which is rack mountable though personally.
With 12 very fully featured voices I fear the keyboard is the smallest part of the components!
@@NamelessSmile Yea maybe a desktop version could be back to 6 voices to keep it smaller and more affordable
Still some rack dudes out there :) Back in the 1990s racking synths was a common feature, a keyboard and a rack version. I had two large racks full of them. Those days are gone.
@@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene We live brother, the rack people are legion and we want our rack synths!
Looks and sounds fantastic but I imagine I'd never use more than 10% of its capabilities!
It’s like me with my DAW! :)
9:30 - "does the sustain go back to zero, or is the release basically the release": OK cool, can we do the same thing in Pigments and the rest of the Arturia software instruments pretty please? I've been trying to point out the Pigments release issue with polyphonic aftertouch on the Arturia forums, and I don't think the people even understand this is a problem.
I’ll wait for the black version with black keys
All black keys?😂😎
Pls Arturia bring Full Touch to keylab pro controllers.
beefy brute
Not with a wavetable oscillator.
So? LOL
who cares use serum for that stuff, this is a very high quality analog synth tbh no cap
Bad patches, or does it just overall sound like crap?
So far every demo is bad soundwise.
So far? The Polybrute sound is pretty well known, being out for years and all.
@@Rareos Basic English. "So far EVERY DEMO..."
@@ChrisPBacon3000 you aren’t getting my point.. the overall sound of the synth is the in same as the 6 voice Polybrute. So the term “so far” is problematic. Intermediate English.
@@Rareos "So far EVERY DEMO...."
Basic English.
Need me to use crayons?
@@ChrisPBacon3000 so I guess I have to assume your basic English means you are referring to every Polybrute video that’s been posted in the last three years as a demo?
Way overpriced!
Disagree completely.
Agreed, just as the original was.
@@maydaygoingdown5602Yet they sold original no problem. This will be the same. Butt hurt comment section dwellers don’t represent reality… thankfully.
I disagree too
Overpriced? So, what would compare it to?
All my plug-ins sound better than this.
Jolly good. And I hope you enjoy using them. This is hardware which is a different experience.
@@sonicstate I usually prefer hardware but I just dont like the sound of this hardware.
@@Drfresh1402 That's just your preference. The beauty of the sound lies in the ear of the auditor!
@@mwmfl8960 This goes without saying.
