    A live, semi-improvised jam on Arturia's new six-voice analogue polysynth. All sounds, including effects, are coming from the PolyBrute only.
    I have a complicated relationship with polysynths. On the one hand, the polyphony is so valuable and adds such an important element to hardware synth music. On the other hand, polysynths generally take up much of my table space and make it hard to justify keeping around. I'm happy to report that the Arturia PolyBrute is worth the space, and that it's an incredibly beautiful synth.
    Here, I used the PolyBrute's "capture arpeggio to sequencer" feature while I was exploring the synth, and then started to play on top of it using the PolyBrute's bi-timbral architecture. While I'm no master piano player, it's awesome to have accompaniment while noodling around on the keys.
    And while I'm super happy with the results, I think the most remarkable thing about the PolyBrute so far is how much music I'm NOT making. What I mean is that I've spent multiple nights just switching to an initialized patch and designing sounds from the ground up. This thing is a real joy to explore, and it rewards you for those explorations.
    Written and recorded over a 12-hour period, with compression and limiting on the master.

    Oh my god I'm gonna stop watching this, or my money will escape from my wallet again...this is too beautiful, but I think the biggest factor that makes it beautiful is your twist on this beast.

    great video and the on-screen notes were very helpful.
