Arturia Polybrute 12 geni.us/XExgE
In this video, I demo the new Arturia Polybrute 12. This is the flagship synth from Arturia with 12 voices, an MPE keyboard, and software that takes it to the next level! The Polybrute 12 is a synthesizer from Arturia that gives you 2 oscillators, 2 different types of filters, arpeggiators, a sequencer, 3 LFOs, and different ways to morph your sound. This is one of the best synthesizers I’ve ever played and I think you’ll love it too.

Arturia Polybrute 12 geni.us/XExgE
This is a dream synth. Vangelis would be a fan of FullTouch.
Saw this on another RUclipsr's account and just ran off to yours, instead. 😀😀😀😀 Thanks for making life easy for all of us. Arturia is having a slamdunk on other companies lately. I can't wait for their Keylab MK 3 Versions. Interesting days ahead. I foresee a touchscreen and a much more bigger screen on the Keylab MK 3.
Felt that 🤣😭
I hope same aftertouch implementation too...
Very kind words. I appreciate that. I can't wait to see what they do with the Keylab next. I hope somethign big!
my goodness this is a synthwave dream!
Arturia’s been on a role lately, tried out their last “synth” that houses their plugins and the UI and sounds were really good.
Yeah, I'm with you...innovating like crazy!
You explained this so well, Sanjay! The synth looks amazing.
I really appreciate that, Zubin! Thanks!
Wow this thing looks and sounds incredible! A dream synth for sure!
ordered mine going to make so many hits on this thing, can't wait!
TF!!! I need this. This synth covers everything. Thanks Sanjay!!! you made my day
Happy to help!
I'm in LOVE! Now I'm getting the same feeling I had when I saw my Roland Jupiter 8 for the first time! 😎
Hi Sanjay Thanks for sharing details of Polybrute 12 This one is amazing Arturia takes it to next level .
You're very welcome. What do you think of the "FullTouch" keys?
I think full touch technology is a breakthrough technology by Arturia.
It's here to stay will open lot of new dimension in music world.
Great sounds and playing Sanjay!! This colorway is DE-LI-CIOUS!!!
Hey buddy! Thank you so much!
What an honor coming from you!!!🙌🏽✨🎶
Sounds fantastic! Way more than I need, but gorgeous all around.
Excellent review
The original Polybrute exceeded my expectations in sound quality, control and ease of use. While I won't be upgrading to this newer 12-voice version, I would definitely opt for it if I were starting fresh.
Yeah, its quite an incredible synth.
Aftertouch ALL the way! This used to be The thing in Synths. Somehow this was left behind over the recent years and knob control was prefered, what a step back! Aftertouch is so expressive while knob control feels superficial and detached
Stunning 🌟🌟🌟
Good review.
Thanks much!
Wow this synth is sounds so full and warm
I need this! 😍
Insane synth
It looks damn beautiful ❤️
Yes...it is for sure!
Wow, great synth and I like that they released VST software at the same time ! great price too
Great demo, Sanjay. This seems like one of those "last analog synth you'll ever need" type things.
Honestly...when I first started playing it, I thought the same.
I'm very pleased with this - and demonstrating that the "rumours were indeed true". This replaced my original Polybrute entry in my "list of dream hardware synths" easily and with the inclusion of their MPE keybed, this gives me hope for a forthcoming Keylab Mk3 =]
If arturia does MPE midi controllers at a sub 1k price they will own the controller industry.
Arturia is my choice for keyboards. This looks NICE!
Very nice indeed
Best Polybrute review!!!!
It is good to be Sanjay C
This synth reminds me of the Yamaha CS-80. The sounds are beautiful.
🙌🏽🔥🎶WOW!!! Incredible job with this one!✨😂 Yesss you used my word!!!! Bahd ahhh it is! 🔥I love when you get edgy! And so are you with these videos, the way you share information so clearly and the music!
Thanks so much!
Nice, for a change, Arturia, but I am good with my Deepmind 12 for now. Nice video Sanjay.
Thanks so much!
My wish list at Sweetwater has gotten so out of control in the past 24 hours!
Thanks for a great demonstration. It looks like Arturia has really improved on the original model; I'm very excited to see this.
I think they did a good thing by not just increasing the voices, but also adding more to it. It justifies the higher price compared to the original.
Props on the IWC Ingeniuer!
What a good eye...the first to notice it!
What a beautiful monster 😍😍😍
Yes...my favorite synth yet! Its crazy good!
I realy hope Arturia got one with them on upcoming Superbooth this week 🤩 would love to try out this beast
Yeah, especially since the announcement came right before
WOW.. Just WOW im sitting here just listening to the Sonic intricacies of this Beast and im like im SHM because 1st its so expensive but its also a GOT TO have.. ALL of the sounds frequencies tonalities and total Vibe seen here is Just unbelievable. This New AP12 has such a vast plethora of Programs (Sounds) Plus FX One can never get Bored with or tired of. 😉
I want “fulltouch mpe" in a KeyLab mk3, to use it with Pigments and the V Collection.
Very nice 💯 😇
First time in a long time I saw something worth it’s proce
Honestly I’m still trying to get the Minibrute 😂! Arturia is killing the analog synths right now! 🔥
Incredibly expensive but still it went to consideration, because of the full touch. That has edge over Hydrasynth and Behringer UB-XA keys. Started to want this. Sounds very analogue too, better tone than UB-XA has out of the synth IMO. And much more versatile synth architecture than UB-XA. I could use this as my main synth.
uh oh. hahaha It looks beautiful!
Yes I want more playability and expression via the keybed. Ideally the Osmose will get made in a 61+ key version but until then I would really consider the PB12.
I need one today please.
Arturia has been very busy it seems...Souinds frickkin awesome....Would love to get my hands on one of these!!
Together in Electric Dreams ! ❤❤❤
Yes...I've been dreaming of this every night.
Lets hope they start bringing these quality keybeds to their keylab range in future. I am basically using a hydrasynth keybed as both a master keyboard and a digital hybrid. Ashun sounds actually cross sell their keybed to the korg keystage midi keyboards cause they are really good quality. 3900
Though! 😮
Yeah, totally agree that they should bring this to the Keylab.
way better than a Moog one. sounds better and more innovative and cheaper. (only missing a 3rd osc)
Definitely not.
Creamy-ivory color represents analog warmth, with a nod to vintage UV-degraded white.
Just when I was sure I'd be getting an UDO Super Gemini...
YEAH FUCK IT LETS MAKE IT BEIGE
This immediately became my all time dream synth. Problem is the price is otherwordly and way out of my reach. Oh, well 😅
❤dream synth ❤
Yes
Hmmm. Wonder how Udo Super Gemini fairs with this on the market. Is this bi-timbral?
I hope to see FullTouch on new Keylab pro series. Please Arturia ❤
Does the MPE function still have Velocity as a separate modulator?
I'm eager to hear if the distortion can make this unit feel nasty, the main complaint I see with the original Polybrute is that it couldn't get "thick" "loud" or "dirty" enough, especially in the bass.
I love that motion capture knob, that's a killer feature.
It would also be amazing if the oscillators could be assignable to the two different filters and addressed separately via the software to enable a true "two voice" layered preset.
Good questions. The oscillators can be assignable to separate filters. The bass sound can get dirty, but I'll need to compare it to a Moog to do the true test.
The Polybrute can get incredible nasty! It's all in the patch...
This is really good. I'll still Take 5 though
I have the Take 5 and really like it.
@@SanjayC thanks for the recommendation as well, I think it's gonna be a great first synth
Full Range MPE = Mod Wheel for every key
It's a brute. I just put in an order for a Keylab Essential 61 Mk3 so that will be my keys for the immediate future.
This is a lovely instrument though (Polybrute) - well done Arturia. 👍
I WANT ONE!!!❤
You know I was going to title the video: "You'll want one!"
Nice one..
wow. Im not a synth guy, but that thing is schweet
Yeah, its the best synth I've played...I appreciate it more every day.
Let's us all just hope they bring FullTouch(tm) to the new KeyLabs Pro! Haha
Wow....that would be so cool!
Did I see an animal cleaning itself on the floor around 2:02? Come on we need more blur editing going on. At 3:34 it was hacking up a fur ball.
Finally heard a word from the 'Sanjay's' mouth that kid wont say.... 1:01

@@SanjayC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 anything is possible!
I wonder if this is gonna be as expensive as the latest Prophet 5...
No surprise this is a really good design since PB6 was as well and this is 2 of those plus the new keybed. Bit of cheek calling it fulltouch MPE since it is actually only Z as a source with different mapping range options. Fulltouch polyAT (even though under the hood I believe it is using MPE signaling) would have been more accurate, but marketing... No one seems to talk about the powerful voices mod source which basically gives full access to the Sequential "vintage" knob plus more possibilities. For such an expressive design same unfortunate limitation as PB6 with morphee sharing X/Y/Z source lanes with wheel/ribbon/exp2. Also, at this price where is the second set of outs?!? Were I spending in this range this or Super Gemini could be a tough choice with the much preferable IMHO 2140 and "live" 2 layer interface.
The color scheme looks classy, not classic, but I'd love a " noir " edition look..
How about getting just the control functionality in a controller-only keyboard! I'm not sold on the analog guts aspect - seems like a vinyl-vs-digital sentimentality mindset, since software can produce equivalent sound.
If they put the controls on a Keylab in the future...they'd top the market
only $4K... it is beautiful and Arturia it's likely amazing. i like the dark look of the polybrute (6) and would prefer it here
Someone please explain "12 voices" to me? Is that 12 different sounds, as many notes per sound as needed? Or can one instrument take up 6 to 8 voices.. and you get 12 max.. so if you play 2 keys you run out of overall sound? I ask from a PC/DAW perspective where polyphony doesnt seem to be an issue. Mix dozens of tracks and get 100s of sounds (though realistically nobody can pick out that much).. so just wondering if this is severely limited in overall sounds you can play?
12 voices means you select a normal patch (not layer, not unison, not mono) then you can hit and play up to 12 keys simultaneously without something stolen. These voices are of course playing all the same sound which could be influenced by modulation e.g. voices source or keyboard position in the matrix, but basically up to 12 notes of the same sound in different pitches. There are patches which bundle voices, e.g. unison or layer, this reduces the amount of notes playable simultaneously. From a Daw perspective, the PB12 is duo-timbral, i.e. you can play two different sounds („patches“) simultaneously, while the allocation of its 12 voices is up to you.
@@DasHemdchen So does that mean when being played via MIDI from DAW, it can play multiple different sounds, each with 12 notes? Unfortunately many articles/devices say a voice is one sound and an instrument could be made up of many.. so it gets confusing at times. They should just say notes if its 12 note polyphony regardless of the number of sounds each note plays.
@@b3owu1f Actually it‘s worse: It can play two sounds maximum at the same time. A voice is created by a physical card. PB12 has 12 of them. Each card has two oscillators plus Sub oscillator plus Noise, three own LFOs, three envelopes, you know it. The 12 voices are the absolute maximum which can be played simultaneously. But with a DAW, that‘s not a limitation: You would just record one track with up to 12 notes played simultaneously as audio, then repeat for every track you like, e.g. bass, lead, background filling patches etc.
@@DasHemdchen Oh wow.. so this is really made for live performance then, not using like a multi track instrument to make songs on. It's mind boggling to me the price of things like this vs a PC + DAW + some VST plugins.. that can get you so much more. Granted I understand the lure.. especially if for live performance use. But when I start to see lots of buttons, knobs, etc.. it's way way too much for a single player to handle in a live session in real time. So then it makes me think it is more a controller for DAWs.
@@b3owu1fPC has similar restrictions, as the cpu can overload if too many voices are used. It rarely happens because users rarely breach it. It’s the same with hardware. Unless you’re playing long release 8 note chords… again rare for average players.
Hardware restriction becomes more evident when layering 2 sounds. OG Polybrute gets restricted to 3 notes per layer, as it’s only 6 voice. Each of these ‘voices’ are actual boards, so there’s slight differences in each, hence the other term that’s overly used ‘warm’.
Alesis made the Adromeda and there’s the Virus Ti. They both can play 16 parts multitimbral. Sadly, both are discontinued. The Alesis was 16 part analogue!
Knobs are the best part. Just slightly turning a few random can reap huge differences. Mouse and vst is just not comparable. And you just record each part to audio, move onto next. Aka commit. Vsts whilst great, make you non committal and hinder finishing tracks.
Both are great though 🙂
its not really the first, what about osmose?
While I am not digging the beige, but this is all I ever wanted was someone to make an analog synth!!! If Arturia can do it, then why won't Roland, Korg and Yamaha just...🧐🤔🤨😐😡 Nevermind
New things that enhance expressive playing. Full touch is gorgeous, full ribbon on top of keys too. It seems an original Polybrute beefed up with Hydrasynth hardware controls. Hydra has much more waveform options and modulations. I know what many guys can comment: but this is analog. Yes, true. But this is not important at all for me.
Anyway, hugely better than weak vintage replicas that are expensive and useless (no effects, no touch, no matrix modulations).
Yeah, it feels and sounds like the real thing. Some analog synths just "feel" right...and this is one of them. The Prophet 6 also did that for me.
so the sounds are built in?... not from the computer like Arturia keylab?.... sorry for the amateur question ....
Yes it creates its own sounds. Super cool.
@@SanjayC thank you!....so all i need are speakers and n audio interface....cant wait to get 1......great videos u make!!
When someone says "y'know... less is more".. well, this is the other person who says "Yes, but actually, MORE is more!"
Yes, definitely some truth there.
Did I miss something or does it sum up to "Polybrute with additional 6 voices and Osmose Keybed"? This thing is so damn cool - but the sound still does not catch me. I can not tell what my "problem" is… maybe the oscillators are the weakest spot: I miss analog saturation+feedback, a bit of vintage feel (dirt & drift), features like ring mod, proper FM. Still limited to 12 mod sources, sound of the filters… everything sounds so clean and controlled. I never played a Polybrute. Maybe that's the main problem.
Almost Osmose - you don't get the wobble. You know, when the video processed through RUclips, I felt that the sound of the Polybrute 12 was thinned a bit...it sounds good on RUclips, and even better in my studio.
The Polybrute includes various vintage settings, and has Drive and Brute settings for saturation - proper
FM might be a weak point, but you should use a digital synth if you want proper FM.
Looks like Arturia took a page out of Expressive E's book and one up'd them!
❤🇯🇲
Greetings! What do you think of the Polybrute 12?
@@SanjayC think it’s something I would definitely try myself (tagged you on instagram a few minutes before you posted this video haha)
I really wanted Arturia to make a simple 6-8 voice poly rather than making a less accessible instrument, at least in the u.s. the economy is trash right now. So I’m looking for affordable things cause I’d rather eat than synth,
i like the idea of designing my sequences on the soft synth bit ...then after much messing around transfer to the real deal ...imagine being able to send your soft synth sequence to someone with a real machine ..they send back the sequence which has been rendered on the real deal machine. I'd pay for that ...Arturia could add a service for us less wealthy composers.
I have a studio of something like 12 analogue synths and thought about setting myself up on Fivver to offer that service
eh sounds too clean to me. A lot of modern analog polysynths have this issue imo. Maybe it's something with the filter configuration or something because some don't (like oberheims/prophets or even 'digital' synths like UDO synths). Still sounds good but not sure it's worth it.
Sounds like a Roland JV-80
James brown said “everything is a drum”
Why is this not 88 keys?

Yeah, there’s still absolutely no reason to buy this when you can get both Analog Lab and a Minifreak for less than 1/3rd the price.
Synth prices need to come down. They’re absurd at this point. We can get softsynths that are 10x as powerful as this for less than a 10th of the price.
Why get a soft synth or MiniFreak, those are also too expensive. Just download a free synth.
Why get a free synth when you have to own a computer to play it? Just get a pot and pan from kitchen. DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM! 😂
