@jim6186 what defined the Cs80 ? (Except being polyphonic) An expressive keyboard, presets, and unusual synthesis approach with playability and musicality in mind When people discover Cs80 for the 1st time, I can see 2 categories - pianists who try to play music with it (without thinking about synthesis and programming) - sound designers who watch the front panel and think "it's not as powerful as expected" followed by "sounds like shit" It really was an instrument thought to be played, despite it's possible to make some nice sound design with it I've not tried the code 8 yet, but I'm not sure it's been built with the same goal in mind Polybrute 12, well, it's a modern compromise with a very expensive keyboard and powerful synthesis If musicians don't want to waste their time programming, they have access to tons of presets directly playable (and that was my goal as a sound designer, thinking each preset as a playable instrument)
@@Michael_Geyre what defined the cs80? Well it's sound of course. My point is that the se code can be had with cs80 style filters making it the modern day closest equivalent to the cs80.
@jim6186 I disagree and things are not that easy All Cs synths share same vcf Ig, but most of them sound different Compare as example cs70m to a cs80 if you have the opportunity
beautiful playing, very nice....and so much better to hear what a synth can really do vs. the usual unimaginative seq/arp patterns repeating forever, thank you..
Thanks Arpeggio offers a nice feature, with possibility to use touch response to modulate whatever you want (let's say Attack or decay, as example) So, it's very easy to make lively arpeggios very easily
@@Michael_Geyre Hi, can it be achieved with the Hydrasynth too? If I remeber it right, the Hydra allows you to modulate the arp settings with the poly aftertouch
Que c'est beau, une pure Merveille le Polybrute 12 !!! Je tiens à te féliciter Michael pour ta superbe démonstration, je suis totalement sous le charme de ce synthétiseur ❤️ Bravo Arturia et bravo à toi !
Les gens confondent le son et l'expressivité, parce que ça sonne pas du tout comme un CS80! La confusion vient aussi du fait que ce synthé est à l'aise dans les textures, les sweep, etc... nettement plus que dans les basses et les leads. Je ne suis pas fan du grain arturia mais tu as réussi à faire des sons qui me "parlent" musicalement parlant. Donc un grand bravo à toi😉
Really good synth, but i Just wish it had Sequential or Oberhiem filters instead. I'm not a fan of Arturias Steiner parker filter. A Cem filter would have been a nice addition over the original PB too.
Matter of tastes I don't like much prophets (except old ssm models, or eventually double keyboard prophet 10) The combination of steiner and ladder vcf makes a very versatile instrument I can understand people who don't like steiner vcf, well, it has to be used for what it does well 🤷🏻♂️
@@Michael_Geyre Yes I can't say I'm a fan of Arturias Steiner Parker filter. I much prefer the filters of Oberhiem and sequential. I'd love to see this synth with Rev 2 filters for example over Steiner parker filters. Anyways you did a good job with it, nice work.
@maydaygoingdown5602 thanks 😊 What interests you the most ? Matrix mod or expressiveness? I've tried to use Osmose keyboard to play my matrix 12, interesting results but touch vibrato does not seem to be a good feature for that purpose (well, in my opinion) It might be possible to filter midi or disable it, just tried quickly Anyway, I think we're living a very interesting period, from a synth point of view
Salut Mickael. Bravo pour ta démo. Je suis franchement tenté par ce nouveau PB12, J'ai pas de doute sur l'expressivité mais je me pose la question du clavier. Est il aussi mou que celui de l'Osmose ? J'ai été très perturbé par la sensation du touché au point de le revendre. Le clavier de l'Osmose n'est pas fait pour les petits nerveux comme moi. c'est trop sensible. J'ai peur de retrouver cette même sensation sur ce PB12, C'est difficile de se faire une idée sans pouvoir l'essayer. L'expressivité est mise en avant, je ne vois que des gens qui jouent soft pour mettre en valeur ce clavier mais pour moi ce n'et pas l'atout majeur du polybrute. J'aimerai voir ce que donne un tel clavier sur un jeu rapide ou agressif. Est'ce que l'expressivité est aussi intérréssante dans ces conditions ?
@@janpieternieman5295 You're asking if the most advanced keyed in the history of synths, which took 2 years to develop in-house, and has 3 axis, velocity, after pressure, channel and poly aftertouch, and can sense 1mm of key initiation, can match a Jupiter-X keyboard. And I'm the troll? It's like asking if an upright piano can match a 9 foot Steinway Model D concert grand.
@@Michael_Geyre man this synthesizer will go down as one of the greatest analog synthesizers of all time and brother.. the fact that you played a roll on this is amazing
@synthsamuraiproductions thanks 😊 I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to be part of the birth of such an instrument (and its smaller brother the polybrute) I'm like most people watching these kinds of videos, a synth geek that has spent his life watching/testing/(eventually) buying too many synths Giving feedbacks and doing sound design for a synth seemed an unreachable dream, so doing it on such a great instrument....just wow ...
@@Marc_Angel c'est le même avec 12 voix ET un clavier expressif (ce qui est un atout non négligeable) Dit comme ça, ça semble peu spectaculaire mais en y regardant bien, c'étaient à peu près les mêmes différences entre un Cs60 et un Cs80 La plus grande polyphonie permet de faire des layers très riches sans problèmes de polyphonie, et le clavier expressif permet des choses un peu à la manière d'un Osmose, mais sur un synthé analogique très puissant et avec un super son
Un contrôleur moins vivant ? Excusez-moi, mais en ce qui me concerne, ça n'a pas vraiment de sens Ensuite "les Cs" franchement (et pour les avoir eus) hormis le 80, les claviers sont vraiment pas terribles Alors, que le rendu semble moins vivant, à la limite, si vous voulez Le toucher du Cs80 est bien plus lourd que celui du Pb12, et permet plus facilement d'expression sur l'aftertouch (encore qu'avec un peu d'entraînement ...)

The modern-day CS-80. 🏆
And by far the best demo of it. 🏆
Sort of modern Cs80, true
Thanks 😊
The studio electronics code 8 is the modern cs80.

Anything more than strinigy /atmospheric/piano sounds?
Sure, whatever you want, I just wanted to show uses of touch response
J'ai un vieux sg1 d Korg sans After mais je l'adore
Tommy’s theme ❤❤❤
Are you sure ? When ?
Bonne réponse je reviens sur ma position c'est peut être a cause des toucher cs je n'ai pas essayé le 12
Le toucher du Cs80 reste à mon avis inégalé sur un synthé
Je le trouve meilleur que le T8, que le Synclavier, que le K250, que l'osmose, etc ....

Rest assured. The original Polybrute is a better instrument than this.

There is nothing you can do on the original that you can't do with the Pb12
