There are some, many pro synth players who are a bit kinda disappointed in no CV capability. But the more you research and explore this synthesizer, the more you realize, it is all there anyway. You don't need anything to add to it. As analog, with all capabilities considered, what could you possibly add that would truly enhance what the synthesizer already has on board. Even considering poly of 6, what would more voices actually distinguish that six do not do justice to already. I think in honesty, The French have proven in many ways how more advanced they are in yet another aspect of creativity. Pound for pound, yen for yen, dollar for dollar and franc for franc, you ain't ever going to find a better, more sophisticated and exciting synthesizer than this. Amazing, absolutely amazing proving that a republic of freedoms that was battled over during the rennaisence, is a far better construct of imaginings and leanings than many other societies. I hope France recovers from recent problems. They are a fine nation of creationists whom have flexed yet again to say.....................'now let's look at those synths again moog.' All credit to Bobs Work and Foundation, but Arturia have only been up and running since 1999 and going leagues ahead, seeing Yamaha, Roland and even Moog spitting feathers in their rear view mirror. Nice one Arturia. Great demo bud.
Disappointment in the lack of cv inputs is about integration into a studio, for peoiple who build systems. Not to do with adding features or enhancing what already exists in the synth. Yes the Polybrute can technically make any internal modulation connection one could potentially do with cv... but i simply can't partner the polybrute iwht other cv sources unless through very convoluted, less accurate means... my Modcan Quad LFO, quadrature Batumi, Black Sequencre, Kermit mk3, etc cannot converse with the polybrute as part of a large and complicated system...this is why it's disappointing. Indeed a great synth on its own, but cv is just about making music in a studio with lots of cv floating around.
Yes got mine today after waiting for 4 months. Can’t wait to start making sounds on it after exploring the synth in the coming days. You made some great patches already! 👌🏻
always happy when ur vids come out, some amazing chord progressions. Recently got my record player and a nice sound system set up for my 18th. Absolutely loving some of the techno, trance and house in my dad's collection.
Great birthday present ! I remember listening to my dad's old records. In my case these we're albums from the 70's. I discovered synthesizers that way. The rest is history :D
@@Estuera I'm sure it helped with ur music production later on as well, I haven't yet got myself the money but am hoping to get an analogue synth to start since I've found mixcraft and a laptop keyboard slightly restricting 😅
I personally recommend getting a good controller keyboard and use vsti's. This is _the_ best and cheapest way to explore many different synthesizer techniques. Getting a hardware synth is off course a lot of fun and if it's the right one for you it will provide years of music but do not jump in too fast. Besides that, free vsti's like Vital are amazing synths and I use them all the time.
Ohlala! What a nice video. And, honestly, it is very interesting and easy to follow you, developing your new sound. I am waiting for my PB since many months... So, I liked having a great time while waiting for my PB!
@@Estuera So I heard. I'm always absolutely in awe when I listen to the Polybrute. How do you like the keybed? Have you started experimenting with the twiddly diddly wood thingy on the left? I can't, for the love of God remember what it's called
The keybed is the same as in the Keylab 61 Mk2, which I already have for a while so for me this is a very familiar and nice playing experience. I also have been playing with the morphee already yes, you can see me use it on some of the patches in the video.
Excellent video, and one of the best I’ve seen that really showcases with this beast can do. Inadvertently, I think you also demonstrate just how competitive it is against icons like the Prophet 5. I have one of those along with several other vintage classics, and I also have a PolyBrute on the way - this makes me look forward to comparing them side by side!
Un peu de France dans votre studio ! Very good and beautiful acquisition Jonas ! Arturia is a safe bet, moreover, I thought I saw in your videos that your master keyboard is also a Arturia ! I think with polybrute the sonic possibilities are almost limitless... You must be happy to have it. There are 3 synthesizers that me eye: the JP X, the summit from Novation and the polybrute, which are the 3 at more or less equal price. The day I can get one of the 3,the choice will be very difficult ! Thank you for your video and your demonstration.The sounds are huge !!!
Merci. Et oui, a bit of magnificent french engineering. Arturia know what they're doing indeed. And yes, you spotted it well. My master keyboard is a Keylab 61 Mk2. (The same keybed as the PolyBrute) Out of your 3 options I would choose the PolyBrute myself but I think I'd love to have all three of them 😬 All amazingly powerful instruments.
6:06 now that what im talking about... i was fantasying a hard break beat coming in.. seems like you have the rytm in this style after your last 90s video.. hope you can make some sort of modern old influenced style..
Congrats on your new Synth. I think its gonna be a huge enrichment to your setup. I am curious about the morph function when used in your productions. This screams for unexpected sound changes. Definetly a unique feature. I personally am fan more of the ob 6 sound, as i find it more unique. Poöybrute is in the prophet 6 category, soundwise, which is not really an issue :-D
As the music I release is (melodic) techno, progressive trance and deep house I'm very sure that I will put all this morphing to very good use. It's also a gold mine for creating cinematic sounds, I think I could score a whole scifi or horror movie/game using only this synth. Sound wise there also are echoes of the CS-80. I'm taliking about the sounds in the late 70's Vangelis albums (Spiral, China, Beaubourg). I stumbled upon those sounds in the PolyBrute quite easily.
Brilliant Tutorial, one of a very few that describes creating patches from scratch, I believe anyone who can describe an in depth view of modulating using the matrix will get great numbers of viewers interested and grateful. Do you have any of these patches available by the way, they are very good. Thanks pal.
A lot of these demo patches were quite aggressive and occasionally harsh. I wonder if it naturally wants to go in that direction. Cool to see this side of the synth but i have to say it is capable of softer beauty and expressive soulful keys. I think of the CS-60/80 anyone that has played will find it quite thin and harsh but reverb magically transforms into warm ambient. I think it requires an edge in the synth to cut through the reverb, occupy a frequency range.
It certainly can do those things as well. I also demonstrated this to some degree in some of the patches. Its actually quite capable of going into CS-80/60 territory. The second patch I demonstrate (before I morph it into more extreme territory) is a good example actually. Also the final 2 patches are very CS like. The second to last in the demo section of the video sounds very close to the CS-80 patch Vangelis used in the track 'Ballad' (from the Spiral album) for example. Don't forget that the CS synths also can go into quite different directions if you start using the ring mod. But if you push the oscillator levels and overdrive tje filters the PolyBrute shows its other side indeed and sounds very aggressive and modern (something I love as well)
Haha! Et tu Brute. Good one. Although only few will get it! :-) If you dive as deep into this one as you have into others you're set for the next 10 years or so!
@@Estuera Yeah, it surely is one of the most interesting of the more expensive new synths, although I woud probably still go for the ASM Hydrasynth because I LURV poly AT. Then there are the Waldorf Quantum and Irridium. An Irridium actually accepts poly AT so it would fit nicely with my ELKA MK88. Ah well, there is always stuff one would like to add anyway. I normally ask myself if a new tool will really add something I cannot yet do to my setup. That is why I just ordered myself a second hand Elektro Harmonix Synth 9 polyphonic guitr synth pedal. It's a lot cheaper and still soundd like a ton of bricks! :-)
Poly aftertouch would have been really perfect on the PolyBrute indeed. And yes, the Hydrasynth, Quantum and Iridium are mighty tempting synths as well. Lets quickly change the subject before the GAS starts expanding :D
@@Estuera I decided in January i go with the cheapest option in Switzerland well knowing they're not the first to get stock. Now with all the great demo videos coming in i hate myself ;)
I actually had an order at another store that kept on getting delayed. After the 3rd mail delaying the delivery with another 8 weeks I decided to cancel it and look up some other Arturia dealers. Luckily I found some that actually did have some units incoming so now one of those is happily sitting in my studio :)
thank you so much for your time creating this video. Could you please share another video about how deep or low-end is polybrute able to handle? I'm interested to see if it can have the classic Roland Juno 60 sound for pads or som plucks. thanks
How would you practically see this ? I could do some spectral analysis but I would probably need a Juno 60 to be able to really compare them. Due to youtube compression its quite difficult to really do extreme audio examples.
@@Estuera well.. why not use the Arturia Juno-60 emulation? you can install it free for demo and the sound vs original Juno is pretty pretty close to the real one. And being both from Arturia it could be a really nice comparison. www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/jun-6-v/overview
I could do that but in that case I'm comparing the low end of a plugin which might or might not sound very different than the synth it's emulating so I do not think that comparison would be very insightful.
@@Estuera I see your point... But as an approach to that kind of tightness or roundness of Juno 60 DNA I think it will be close to the real one, at least in my experience. U-HE diva and repro are also incredible emulations of HW units.. I was thinking this because sounds with tight low end: basses or classic warm pads in Korg 3100, Juno 60 , Korg poly six are not so common in the demos I've seen and as full analog synth I think It would worth to hear it ;)
I do have Roland Cloud (which includes thew Juno 60) and I do have the diva as well so might do some side by side comparisons. Not sure if it will be interesting enough for a full video. In that case it would have to be a more epic VS battle (like PolyBrute vs the new Prophet 5 for example)
It's all about the modulation options though ;) With just twisting 2 knobs and pressing one button you can module almost anything on the polybrute. Including modulating the modulation itself. It's a sound design dream.
Depends what you need. The MatrixBrute is a beast but it isn't polyphonic. The Hydrasynth is a beast but isn't analog. I'd love to have all three of them though 😬
He Jonas, vraagje voor jou. In de oldschool track 'The Tape (B-Sides) van Frank de Wulf zit een geluid wat ik alleen maar kan omschrijven als een soort hoge sax oid. Heb jij een idee hoe dat geluid te maken? Ik ben met een bootleg bezig, en die sound moet erin! Thanks man!
Die track ken ik heel goed (1 van mijn favorieten uit die periode) dus ik weet zonder te luisteren al over welke sound je het hebt. Zonder te weten welke synths Frank in zijn studio had op dat moment is het eigenlijk puur gokwerk. Er zijn ook 2 sax achtige sounds in deze track: - 1 cleane sax in de intro van een van de versies - 2 De high pitched synth die een naar beneden bendende noot speelt die later in de track voorkomt. Ik neem aan dat je het over sound 2 hebt. Wat ik in deze sound hoor zijn 2 elementen: - Een saw tooth met veel vibrato waar de pitch bend mee gedaan wordt (dit zou ook een FM of Wavetable Sax preset kunnen zijn, veel synths uit die tijd hadden van die patches aan boord) - Een octaaf lager een meer metallic kinkende buzz achtige sound. Aangezien de pitch bend alleen op de saw zit denk ik dat deze sound dus eigenlijk 2 synths (of samples) zijn waar dan ook nog een hele korte delay op zit die ook behoorlijk bijdraagt aan de sound. Als ik er een keer de tijd voor vind wil ik deze best wel eens proberen te maken maar gezien de vele losse elementen zou het wel eens een flinke uitdaging kunnen zijn om deze sound exact te benaderen.
@@Estuera Zeker ook 1 van mijn favorieten! Super toffe analyse man. Ik meende zelf ook een beetje in die richting te horen, maar het is een lastige. Als je de tijd hebt, by all means! Zou heel gaaf zijn als je die sound kan recreëren. Laten we er anders ff een keer over babbelen. Stuur me ff een mail op info@redford-music.com, dan kunnen we ff WhatsApp nummers uitwisselen :) Als je daar zin in hebt tenminste :)
It’s sounds like Steve Miller , Martin Gore , Peter Gabriel , Thomas Dolby and Howard Jones all decided to come over and sample stuff together ...amazing!
dunno its just something different to have a hardware synth and i could mistaken, but does it sound different to have a hardware version of a synth compared to the software version? very inspiring the sounds which come out of it.
There isn't really a vsti that has the exact same specs as the PolyBrute so I can't directly compare. The biggest difference here is the all analog signal path (besides the fx). There are some plugins that emulate this very well (The Uhe Diva for example) but having all that electricity directly under your control is a very inspirational thing (same with the Korg MS-20). If you really would hear the difference in a full mix I do not know. But it certainly sounds great :D
@@Estuera That's why its so front and center on your desk all the time. :) My only gripe with it is the lack of a patch memory. But then, with so few controls, recalling a sound I have made isn't that hard. I wonder if the Modal Cobalt8 would be a viable "upgrade".
Its good, not great. It does its job very well and as I already had the Keylab61 Mk2, which has the same keybed, I already was used to the way it responds. For a synth it plays perfectly fine but there still are better keybeds out there off course. It also would have been _really_ great if it had polyphonic aftertouch.
That really depends from person to person off course. I like to sit down and create some new patches from time to time and than playing them. This usually leads to inspiration, especially because this synth is very playable with all its control options.
Hmm, I just can’t love the sound of this thing … 🤷🏻♂️ and eg Hydra has ribbon (and Poly AT!), as does Gemini - as well as CV (I’d rather a Touché, that is better and which I can use with multiple CV synths).

This is the first time I've ever been interested in getting a hardware synth. This thing sounds fantastic.
Just about the whole blade runner soundtrack on the first 4 patches, this thing is a beast
I finally received mine also. What a great machine. Best synth I ever had
By far my favourite sounding synth out at the moment. It’s massive!!!

I'm saving for a Keylab Essential 49, which is already more than i need but i love watching beasts like the MatrixBrute and PolyBrute on RUclips.
You are so happy while making these patches, that makes the PolyBrute a wonderful investment for you.
Excellent video and patch tutorial. Thank you. Looking forward to your next Polybrute vid.
Yes got mine today after waiting for 4 months. Can’t wait to start making sounds on it after exploring the synth in the coming days.
You made some great patches already! 👌🏻
Love the sound at 04:02 min 👌🏻
I was waiting for you to play with it. Patients pays off. I am in love with this synthesizer. I want one so bad.
I will be waiting teacher. 😍
The patch around the 6:51 mark reminds of the PPG Wave sounds from early 80's Tangerine Dream. I love it!
My polybrute just arrived ,,,love it!
That thing looks like a spaceship control panel🛸Sounds beautiful. Can't wait to hear you make a full track on this😁

And yes, a lot of patience was required. I also already ordered it months ago. Hope you'll get yours soon.
Getting some original Mass Effect OST vibes here. Awesome stuff Jonas!
Ah yes I remember that soundtrack, loved it. The PolyBrute would certainly be a great synth to score a new Mass Effect game with.
Hij wel hoor!... :-) tof dat je m al hebt! Heel veel plezier ermee.
Als je nog eentje zoekt ken ik wel wat dealers die nu eentje beschikbaar hebben
@@Estuera ga eerst voor een elektron analog keys.
fantastische tutorial tof om een Belg op youtube te ontmoeten!!!
🍻
Lucky you... Oh, lucky you.
How I wish I had one of these! I need to seriously consider selling some of my gear to get one myself...
I can really recommend this one. Such a universe of possibilities and great sound !
@@Estuera So I heard. I'm always absolutely in awe when I listen to the Polybrute.
How do you like the keybed?

You made a lot of great patches already, it's in the right hands! Hope your thumb is ok!
Thumb is getting better thanks :) Just looks a bit ugly atm. So better for youtube to cover it up a bit longer :P
What a deep beast!!
Thanks, great demo!
Awesome demo 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
1:01 Twiddely knobs, Serious synthesizer playing face and EPIC index-finger performance!
Haha yes. 'Playing' the sequencer 😬
Excellent sounds & demo! 07:17 it reminds me of a 80's tune, but can't remember the name...
Wow, what a lovely synth.
Amazing

If you have the budget and space its a must have. Modern classic imo

Nice Demo. The glitches I here at, for example, 13:26 and 13:45 are somewhere in the channel outside the synth, right?
Those glitches are indeed artifacts in the recording itself, it's not the synth crackling.

Stuur me ff een mail op info@redford-music.com, dan kunnen we ff WhatsApp nummers uitwisselen :) Als je daar zin in hebt tenminste :)
Sure. Zal je wel ff mailen.
😁🤩
It’s sounds like Steve Miller , Martin Gore , Peter Gabriel , Thomas Dolby and Howard Jones all decided to come over and sample stuff together ...amazing!
Did you use any post processing or are these raw?
This is 100% the PolyBrute. (Keep in mind though that youtube conversion still might have an impact on the sound. In real life it sounds even better)
dunno its just something different to have a hardware synth and i could mistaken, but does it sound different to have a hardware version of a synth compared to the software version?
very inspiring the sounds which come out of it.
There isn't really a vsti that has the exact same specs as the PolyBrute so I can't directly compare.
The biggest difference here is the all analog signal path (besides the fx). There are some plugins that emulate this very well (The Uhe Diva for example) but having all that electricity directly under your control is a very inspirational thing (same with the Korg MS-20). If you really would hear the difference in a full mix I do not know. But it certainly sounds great :D
fantastic, are these patches available anywhere?
Thanks. If you mail me on the address you can find in the about section of my channel I can hook you up.
Any chance of making those patches available?
Sure. You can get the pbproject file here: www.dropbox.com/s/jaksu1icoyzfgiw/Estuera%20Patches%201.pbproject?dl=0
I can’t here stereo in my speakers
Are you dastics brother?
I do have a lot of brothers but last family dinner I didn't see Dastic. I guess it's the dutch genes :D
Can I have your blue Yamaha trance machine now? :)
I made my first release ever using that one. I don't think I could ever let it go😇
@@Estuera Okay, fair point. I'll stick to my Reface CS then. :)
Which actually is a lot more useful and better sounding than the CS1x ;) I love the Reface CS.
@@Estuera That's why its so front and center on your desk all the time. :) My only gripe with it is the lack of a patch memory. But then, with so few controls, recalling a sound I have made isn't that hard. I wonder if the Modal Cobalt8 would be a viable "upgrade".
How do you like the keyboard?
Its good, not great. It does its job very well and as I already had the Keylab61 Mk2, which has the same keybed, I already was used to the way it responds.
For a synth it plays perfectly fine but there still are better keybeds out there off course. It also would have been _really_ great if it had polyphonic aftertouch.
@@Estuera thank you for your answer.
If it is good enough for you, it will be good enough for me by far.
How is this machine for keeping you inspired?!?
That really depends from person to person off course.
I like to sit down and create some new patches from time to time and than playing them. This usually leads to inspiration, especially because this synth is very playable with all its control options.
What’s the deal with the left thumb
At the time that video was made I had a small kitchen accident 👍
Hmm, I just can’t love the sound of this thing … 🤷🏻♂️ and eg Hydra has ribbon (and Poly AT!), as does Gemini - as well as CV (I’d rather a Touché, that is better and which I can use with multiple CV synths).
Ha I regret my sUmmit that I sold for this polybrute; Rear machine all!
I’d take the Summit over the Polybrute, for sure!!
