PolyBrute - Full Review - Sonic LAB

There were rumours, but nothing concrete until - wham! There’s the PolyBrute. The 6 voice analog poly synth based on the MatrixBrute architecture. Poly synths are like cars, you expect a steering wheel, indicators and other regular features that make it recognizable as such. And Arturia went for that but also added some interesting features we’ve not seen on a poly before. Including what I would say is the PolyBrute’s super power: true, modulatable, patch morphing. This can be controlled with the other unusual feature - the Morphee - it’s an X/Y pad with a Z axis as well. Looks a bit like the Touche, but it’s quite different. We also get the 8x12 Mod matrix with 4 pages of routings, each dialed in via the main data knob - like the Matrix. And three high quality digital FX and a ribbon controller. 5 octave Fatar keybed with channel aftertouch wraps things up. Build quality is good. The panel doesn’t flip like the Matrix, but I’m not missing that tbh, it feels solid and well constructed. #soniclab #arturia #polybrute Affiliate Link: Order PolyBrute at Adorama: Frozen Reverbs Racks for Live: 00:00 Intro and Morphing 04:01 Oscillators 07:39 Simple poly patch 08:39 Filters 11:50 voice pan 12:25 Effects 13:53 Ribbon 16:40 Patch example Mod section 20:50 Mod matrix 23:08 More sounds 24:20 Motion Record 26:29 More sounds - split and sequencer 29:37 extra morph settings 30:42 Not Jump and stereo filters 32:00 FM 33:35 Filter tracking 37:34 Sequencer and parameter recording 40:00 Wrap, price and playout Subscribe to Sonicstate on YouTube for new content!
