Thats a great demo ! Keep it up.
Is it true the sequencer is off?
I have a mild cerebral palsy and grew up in the 70s listening to Keith Emerson and remember wishing I didn't have it because my left hand doesn't have the motor skills like the average person. This synthesizer is prefect for me I can turn the nobs with my left hand and use my right hand for the keys. The sounds help me with my depression and epilepsy just like Keith Emersons music did for me. Thanks for the great video!
I hope you're feeling better
That's really nice to hear!! I just wish i even knew how to play haha 😅 Maybe you should post some videos of you playing some day?
Same here, similar story but i have Haemophilia and over time my joints have gotten worse and worse making it harder to play properly, synths like this would mean i could play again and as you say, escape the depression that these conditions ultimately push us into.... I'm also a victim of the contaminated blood scandal which has done its part in destroying my mental health over the years so yeah, music really is my only escape sometimes.
Maybe one day I'll win the lottery and be able to afford a Polybrute, it's my dream synth.....as it stands most of my money goes into raising my kids so it makes it nearly impossible to save for one.
I hope yours brings you many hours of joy though man, would be awesome to hear you play.
What I like about BoBeats is that there is nothing extraordinary, he does what most of us do which gives us a more faithful idea of what the instruments would be like in our hands.
Thank you!! Thats exactly what I am aiming for.
@@BoBeats
Do you allready got a music project going on ? --- our band could use some super fresh synth !
Just, nothing of extrordinary is good for normal users but probably nothing to spend over 2500 € for this, because it seems not a great sinth.
@@marcopulega7036 what
2:47 absolutely beautiful sound. this is a proper ambient synth. imagine routing it through some really nice reverb and just spacing out
Yes! My favorite sound here too.
Bo: I listened to the end too btw. :) ..and then a little more.
It's beautifully lush. The only thing I worry about with the sound of this synth is that it seems like it's ALL lush. Even the down and dirty tones sound lush. Does it have a MASTER LUSH OFF switch?
@@NuisanceMan thats what the Pro 3 and its historical brethren is for
I'm not a big fan of arturias sounding devices normally. Their controllers are amazing however. But this time this is really impressive in every sense: price, sound, control, firmware, fx, software vst. Happy for them.
I totally get this... for me it was like the first time I got that ”wow” feeling I associate with Moog and DSI
BoBeats I had never really loved the Arturia stuff, the mono brutes, and the initial RUclips demo from Arturia on this one was just ok for me... then I found the demo clips on the website, then yours and loopop’s videos. Wow indeed. IMO it has its own character with the Steiner Parker filter, and the resonance is incredible, but then it even does poly moog... better than the moog one, to my ears. Preordered a few days ago, not sure when to expect it to ship in the US. Get to that Maschine + deep review btw! ;)
@@BoBeats It is in the league of DSI for sure now! Makes choosing my next poly much harder! Now the prophet 6, ob6, peak/summit and this are all contenders.
My only small gripe is that I wish the analog effects from the matrix brute were included. Not to diminish the quality of these digital effects, they are great, but that was a really cool feature.
Yes i like to see a video entirely, and a demo like this just playing with sounds is more interesting to me than describing all the features one by one even if it's also interesting, so we need them all.
This is my dream synth. I don't care if something else comes along. I'm getting one of these eventually.
Had mine for a few months now and I have to say it's the most 'musical' synth I've ever played ... the sounds it can make are so organic, warm and rich, the modulation and sound manipultion posibilities are huge and it has a lovely keybed. Add these things together and you get a real musical instrument rather than a sound playback device. You really have to try one to realise just how much of a future classic this synth is going to be ... great review btw ... I really like the way you've split the review into one video for features and functions and then one full on sounds only run through ... it's what we always need!
@esemceX It's all down to personal taste I guess but for me it's perfect for a synth, if I want a heavier feel I use my fully weighted stage piano. The only aspect of it I would criticise is the aftertouch is less controlable than on my Prophet 12, which definitely has more sensitivity in the aftertouch. But for general synth duties I find the keybed on the Polybrute is spot on.
if the new space looks unfamiliar its because I'm moving to a new studio... See latest video about my studio build here: ruclips.net/video/kbdJjX8s43k/видео.html
Omg sounds like something will be like a arp2600 , yamaha cs80 , jupiter 8 after a few years ... a modern classic is born . thanks Bobeats really inspiring session ...
And with the wavefolder (aka metalizer) you can even get really heavy autechre-esque grunge, it really covers the whole spectrum.
I thought the same thing. It sounds amazing from the demos that I've heard and Bo does a great job showing what it can do in this one
Listened till the end. Absolutely luxurious sounding instrument.
To the end, yes. Thanks for walking through these patches
The video was really nice to have playing in the background while I was working. In my opinion demos like this allow me to really appreciate the instrument - and your playing, because I'm not "over" listening, I'm just feeling it.
Nice in-depth demo! You cover variations enough to make me think Polybrute sounds deeper than I thought!
Definitely want to hear videos like this. Most sound demos are only presets. I enjoyed listening to the end. Was comparing this synth to the new Prophet 5 rev4. I would be interested in a side by side comparison...
I've got the Prophet 10 rev 4, tone wise it's no competition imo (Prophet sounds much better but obviously has less features). I also don't get on with 6 voice synths anymore... sold my P6, OB-6, JX-3P etc... I got the Prophet 10 and Prologue 16 and enough poly to do the job properly, they both sound better than what I sold.
It’s definitely an expressive beast of an instrument, something I’m glad we are seeing more of this, whether it’s hardware instruments or even controllers.
I think skilled keyboardists will love this one
And non skilled like me can still enjoy it 😂
@@BoBeats Ya, but would you buy one?
Beautiful. I listened to every bit of it and was floored. The polybrute is far out of my price range, but it sounds amazing and the block thing seems so expressive. Love videos like this :)
Just find some affluent neighbors who have one and try to borrow it in return for doing odd jobs.
I love how it works so well with midi. It allows you to use the physical synth like a VST. Lots of synth make this hard to do for some reason, and I thank arturia for thinking of this
Please explain in more detail?!?
Yeah that kinda doesn't make any sense.
Could you explain?
I watched until the end because it was very pleasant and I continued to discover new timbres in the synth. Nice job! This one really captures my imagination.
I listened to the whole thing. What a beautiful, detailed sound!
Just finished watching this demo for the third time. Right now its the very best demo of this synth on YT. Synth On @BoBeats!
I tried a Polybrute in a store today and BOY did I fall in LOVE! Just checking out this video because I’m so excited about it. 😅
Good job on conveying the sound possibilities!
Bottom end is wellllllll bottomed.
Bo, would be nice to hear some raw sine and triangle without any FX, filter half open. I always judge a Synth based on it’s pure unglossified sound. Thx!!
Thanks for the demo. Easily made it to the end. ;)
This thing is awesome. It's the first hardware synth I'm actually considering buying.
Thanks for the '(almost) no talk, just sound' demo!
It's nice to listen to this sort of thing
Especially when the synth that is playing is high in the 'what next'-list ;-)
loved the demo, skipped about the 1st time then played the whole video a couple of times, absolutely brilliant & probably instrumental in me ordering a Polybrute, thankyou
Yes, good to the end...really wanted to hear this beast in many different lights to understand if it will mix in or if it is just a monster with which to have fun.
Awesome presentation Bo. Those sound textures are bliiiiiiiiissss !!!!!
Listened to the end ;) This thing sounds fantastic! Arturia drops the mic. 6 voices...well my OB has six and NO complaints there. Love the morphee, morphing A/B knob, ribbon, and freaking 61 keys!! So tired of all of these 49's. This came out of nowhere, and is a contender. Looking at the Super 6, or the Summit, or Sequential's upcoming synth. After that..I'm done! The Polybrute is truly unique, sounds fantastic, flexible, looks good (IMO). Congrats Arturia!
I watched till the end! Well, listened. The sounds were so nice that I just had it in the background as I worked.
After watching this great demo i might just have to part with my Matrixbrute to finance one of these it sounds so sweet.
Well done BoBeats.
Excellent demo, thank you. Your reviews and demos of equipment are always entertaining and informative, most importantly you showcase the kit brilliantly, most reviewers just talk at you, you don't. You just sold me a PolyBrute!
Thank you for the kind words!! Have a great weekend!
This synth is amazing and the controllers are very progressive. I've already a matrixbrute from arturia but this synth is one of the best ever made in the last 5 years. The sounds and the filter possibilities are endless. I've put it on my wishlist.
Made it to the end. Personally I like synth sounds more than just reviews.
Same
I listened through as background while working - loved this, thanks.
Watched to the end.
Loved the "Video Game Adventurer in a Sleepy Village" sound at 10:24.😍
Wow these patches are just incredible.
i watched to the end my friend. This synth sounds amazing!
Niiiice!!
When are you getting one Doctor Mix?? 😂
Trololo Inc ® 😂😂😂
I always say, listening music to the end (I mean music fam song, on soundcloud and such) always best (and if you enjoy it of course). You may find grand finale appreciating more what you heard up to the moment and hear artist last word on the the do regarding their own feel of what they just play... if you follow this abstract thought...
YES, listened to the very end and turning to the next spin, right away. Playing session like that are so very important, we are musicians after all. Hearing bluh-bluh all the way across even if it music tool review some people make it less than boring its a crime :) Best to explain and example, but that balance I know is the art you do in the vids. Having playing demo like that is a must extra and appreciate very much you do, Bo!
Perfect snippets, expressing the hardware and your musicality as well as an artist :)
Hey uh, if this was ran through Google Translate, what language was it translated from, because I got kinda confused as to what you meant while reading this.
@@teyathebirb8922 Sorry my English is bad, not my native tongue :) I was just answering Bo to the question at the end of the vid. I watched it to the end and showing full support to the demo share like this. Demonstrating the synth, exploring musicality and sharing the passion to music we all have. Good times, cheers!
@@samprock Ah okay. Yeah I have a friend from Russia who doesn't fully know English. But thanks for explaining! :3
I watched it to the end, thanks! I want to hear a wide variety of sounds that certain synths can make, to help me get a sense of their strengths and weaknesses since I don't live near a music store where I can try them out for myself. Thanks!
Thank you for this tasty demo, Bo. I think this synth is an instant classic. There's so much that the PolyBrute can do so well, one almost would not need any other instrument. These sounds are amazing, and this instrument is visually beautiful. I think I'm in love. And yes, I watched to the end. You have a great day also, Bo.
One would need another instrument based bi-timbral or more polyphony needs; something sadly this product does not deliver for the price point. It may not be obvious, but several competitors in this space have set the bar for a poly to a minimum of 8 and even 16 voices. Some in this price range have even reached the summit of 16 voices and bi-timbral capabilities. A mophie and pitch bend wheel are not hard to come by these days.
@@winddealer1 people spend as much on monophonic synthesizers, it's about the gestalt principle
listened to all, didn't watch, was doing other stuff. great sounds. smooth filters and envelopes. they made killer synth.
It would be be nice to see an overhead view while you are playing so we can see the controls and the display details.
DItto. Listened to it all while doing other things, because it sounded lovely. Was that 17+ minutes? Didn't seem that long.
Skipped around to the end. Thanks for what you do. We're obsessing about a synth purchase and you have become our #1 resource. Cheers.
Thanks for this video, Bo, I absolutely love the Polybrute!! I was sold on it within the first minute, but the whole video is a great introduction to it. I especially love the sound that starts around 16.17. The video could have been longer, I enjoyed it and found it useful. This is evidently a beautiful instrument, and something about its voicing really speaks to me. Before seeing your video, I wasn't planning to buy any new instruments,..... but I am now!
Fantastic demo, thank you :) I am planing on buying a Polybrute and I just want to hear what it can do. You have just confirmed what I already knew " I NEED A POLYBRUTE "
Watched 50%, then started skipping a bit.
Great machine, but that was to be expected for this kind of beast and the suggested retail price. I think I'd choose this over a DSI or Nord of the same price.
@Michael Reed well, thanks for your elaborate input and clear argumentation, you're really convincing me with this fair comparisson of features and quality aspects as well as a fine analysis of differences in ease of use, all relative to the market value of aforementioned synths.
I've made it to the end aswell. You are only scratching the surface once you know the matrix routing it is a network of possibilities the filters make it like a moog and you can mold and shap sounds was so shap or so silky and soft. Great demo I am trading all my synth in for this one because you can make it sound like any synth but also it's in a league of it own because as well it sounds like no synth I've ever heard it has a massive expression capability and a must for anyone who creates from the bottom up like myself because it's fun 😀 thank you love your video
It sounds far better than most of the competition, and also better than other synths from Arturia. Good job!
I think the MiniBrute 2S is their best synthesizer, it has the most intuitive sequencer on the market, it's just overlooked because most people make the mistake of getting the keyboard version instead.
Watched to the end. My polybrute arrives tomorrow.
Jealous
I’m jealous also.
It’s sweet and powerful, thank you for the demo!
Just re-visited this video after 3 years. Such majestic sounds. More please
Yes, made it to the end! Excellent sound demonstrations. Thank you.
Watched to the end and appreciated your sound demo - thanks! I have been eyeing the UDO Super 6 lately, but this Polybrute is pretty compelling too. Tough decisions...
Watched til the end because that's what I watched the video for. Thanks for the demo!
This synth sounds and looks amazing!
It’s lovely and thanks for cheering us up with the usual high quality video!!👍
Its like all of my studio synts is on that one synth, amazing! Good demo.
Never compare soft with hardware but these days you can do it.I have Brainworx Knifonium and I have doubts between the two sound-wise.And that means something about a soft synth.
This is the best Arturia synth I’ve ever heard so far
When I check out synth sound demos I usually skim through and listen to the patches I like, so yes... I get to the end unless I'm not enjoying the sounds along the way. Thanks for sharing.
Loved it from beginning to end Bo! Especially when you did a dead one recreation of the THX tone
Yes, made it to the end. Good demo, with an interesting range of voices and melodic sketch pad. These demos are great for listening, which makes it easier to stay “tuned-in” to the content and hear an indication of the synth’s capabilities.
Umm.. I've read a few of the comments already made, and I can see that this is possibly a controversial viewpoint here, but I am left just a little bit underwhelmed. Yes, there are some nice-ish sounds, but nothing that grabs me. When a new synth comes out, I listen to the sound demos without watching them - just as a background. On several occasions in the past, I have had to switch away from what I was watching, back to the synth demo because there was a sound that made me go "wow!". Sadly, this didn't happen once in this video, and yes, I listened to it to the end. Twice. (I also watched Loopop's review of this synth with the same result!)
Bo, I love your demos, they are always among the best on here. On the basis of your Wavestate demo, I went out and got one. That machine is a wonder, with amazing sounds and a great control surface that lets you noodle away for hours producing sounds that go way beyond any of the factory presets in a matter of moments. The PolyBrute, on the other hand, sounds somewhat thin (Blofeld-like) and, with the price-tag it's sitting at, terribly overpriced. Yes, there's the morphe pad - but I already have an Expressive E Touche and that will work with any synth. And there's the ribbon - but I have the Hydrasynth, where the implementation seems a whole lot more well thought out - and the Hydra has better sounds as well as poly aftertouch at pretty much half the price.
I really, really wanted to love this synth - I always have to grab new gear when it comes out - but this one is a "miss" rather than a "hit" from me, I'm afraid. But thank you for the video - it's the efforts of guys like you and Loopop that guide me in my purchasing choices - in this case, saving me a couple thousand GBP! Keep up the great work.
Same here. Synth looks great and got a lot to offer, but the sound, just like the Matrixbrute, doesn't appeal to me. I really wanted to love this synth but I am going to skip this one. Great review as always Bo.
Hi Bill, I guess to fall in love with a synth is similar as to fall in love with a person 💕... one has to be on the same "wavelength"... it's all about resonance... it's only the right choice uf your heart loves it...
Thanks for that! This is *exactly* what I have been thinking. The PolyBrute is easily not my cup of tea. It's just... not impressive.
I also agree. I like a hardware synth to have attitude, it's why even though I own a novation peak normally find myself using the behringer neutron, such a filthy beast!. It's a little bit gimmicky as well with its touch strip and etouche alike control. Interesting what you say about the wave state as well. Out of interest fur the wavestate, if you were making a patch from scratch from the init preset, how long on average do you think it would take?
@@MrClarkio Regarding the Wavestate: so far, I've not tried to make one from scratch... the level of control you have over any individual sound is so great that you can create within minutes something that is almost unidentifiable as the original patch. I think the level of programming required to start from scratch would - just as with the original Wavestation, which I also owned - require a master's degree. :-)
Watch to the end, great to hear what it's like.
Bo must have seen my comment rant back on the Facebook groups lol. Jk. If I were sitting on one of these, I'd be doing the same. Just hit record and go ham. And that's exactly what we are seeing. Way to go on this demo BO! Outstanding sound. I am sold!
10:23 instantly cured my depression
Listening to this video just encourages me to do more sound Layering /morhing of patches
Do it!!
Yes.. "LORD of WAVES"... I love listening your sound demo's till the end... I actually ♾♾♾ replay then.... even though I don't own a polybrute... lol
13:43. - unreal man best section by far those filters and textures man so nice. Reminds me of old FSOL "from the archives" gear.
Yes I watched till the end, great demo. Love your videos 👍🏾 Keep up the great work 👏🏾
Thank you for the demo.
It's a great synthesizer and has a lot of potentials. Just one point if I may suggest, please give us a demo without any sequences or arpeggiator running.
We would like to hear useful rich sounds for creating good music. Some examples of classic synth riffs please.
A demo should be musically interesting to encourage me buying the synth.
Thanks for your demo.
My suggestion as well: not so many mono/arpeggiator patches, which the MatrixBrute can do as well. I’m a pad addict!
Independently from this demo, but based on your and others’ first look videos I have already ordered this beast. ETA according to Thomann: 27 Nov.. Well, I’m used to postponements i’m so far ...
Arturia have nailed it! They really have created something special here and within the reach of the masses, i applaud them and can't wait to get mine! Nice vid Bo ;)
ps, i watched until the end
Great video! Can't wait to get my hands on one. Thanks for making this. Watched till the end
I watch sound demos to the end if I find the synth/sounds new or interesting. Versatility and sound is a big deal for me, mainly because of future-proofing
(Trying to decide on my first synth)
Quality of the keybed (Noise, feel).
More pros and especially cons
Great review and demo. The sound quality of the video is superior to other demos I've seen. Other demos I've seen have bad quality and distortion. The best I've seen thus far. Thanks you for your hard work.
Great sounds. Thank you for this demo! And yes, I watched it 'til the end ;-)
To the end :)
Watched until the end. Super skeptical about committing to anything with the p800 and new DS synths on the way. This is right up there though. Would be nice if they made a desktop version with mpe
Thanks for posting!! Always love your videos! Got this on order. I thought I had everything out there and this just sounds amazing and have to own one. It actually stands up to my Moog One 16V. It's more of an Oberheim sound with the filters. Sadly I sold my OBXa and OB-8, they became to expensive to maintain. This unit has much more bass end anyway. Maybe I'll give up my A6 now, who knows. Anyway, thanks for staying on top of the market!! Rix :)
I watched to the end! :) Sounds great!
This was great! Yes, I watched it to the end. I don’t actually watch them but I do listen to them in my car! It’s really great and thank you!
Always nice to hear just sound, thx Bo
🙏❤️🕊🍀🌍
Thanks for the reviews Bo, I like your videos and am subscribed to your channel. Based on what I heard in this video I honestly don't hear anything special or creative. I own a MatrixBrute and even though it is paraphonic I can produce much more interesting sounds. I think people (and sound designers) in general get "lazy" in front of a polysynth and get more creative in front of a mono or paraphonic synth.
Watched to the end. Great demo. Cheers Bo!
Best demo I have herd so far.💪🏻😎👍🏻
:O... Arturia can make synth... On 2020 say "WoW" to an analog polysynth is rare... We ear soo many good synth, digital, analog, virtual... And is very hard to ear something that amaze us... In nothing new but all he can do is "perfect" and is very versatile...
I am commenting per your request: In this case, I played the video while preparing, eating, and cleaning up lunch (a sandwich). So, there was some watching, mostly listening for the parts that interested me more, then watching more attentively, but to satisfy your curiosity: I did watch / listen all the way until the end. :) Thanks for the demo.
Appreciate it!
So excited to see another video on this!
Enjoyed this, thanks! Skipped around a little bit. This was one of the stronger polybrute videos so far in terms of demoing sounds that would be "usable" for me (not hyper aggressive).
Sounds amazing listened to the end. Still prefer the summit. The polybrute makes me think of the Hydrasynth but with a a meatier low end.
Amazing, thanks for this good work. This sound demo is really useful 🙏🙏🙏
Watched from A to Z with great interest. Thanks for sharing.
Some great sounds on it Bo, as always a cracking video 👍
Love the innovation and morphing (in an analogue synth!) but for me - as with the MB - without the effects it just sounds a bit thin, brittle sounding. That said it's an amazing product and seems capable of much warmer sounds than the MB.
If this were 12 or 16 voice at that price it would be the best synth on the market
Listened to the end. Was fantastic thank you and great job Bo!
It really does sound nice.
Yes watched to the end. Great sounding synth. Looking at picking one up in the future.
Great demo Bo. Loved it!
