Arturia PolyBrute 12
Product information "Arturia PolyBrute 12"
The Arturia PolyBrute 12 sets new standards in the world of analogue synthesizers. With its 12-voice architecture and innovative Full Touch® MPE keyboard, it offers unprecedented musical expressiveness. This synthesiser is more than just an instrument - it is a gateway to undiscovered worlds of sound.
The PolyBrute 12's intuitive Full Touch® keyboard captures every nuance of position, pressure and touch, enabling precise and fluid polyphonic aftertouch effects across the entire key range. This enables a direct, tactile connection to the sound, from subtle details to powerful dynamic effects.
This expressive versatility is enhanced by three different aftertouch modes, the revolutionary Morphée pad and the ribbon controller, which allow each preset to be interpreted multidimensionally - for breathtaking performances.
The PolyBrute 12 stands for a colossal, multi-layered and infinitely changeable sound that will define a new era of expressive polyphonic analogue synthesizers.
Expressivity at the highest level
The PolyBrute 12's MPE-compatible keyboard turns each note into a separate sound body that can be modulated independently. Together with the 3D Morphée pad, the wooden ribbon controller and the motion recorder, impressive multidimensional modulation becomes a reality.
Unlimited sound design
The twelve voices of the PolyBrute 12, paired with analogue oscillators, sophisticated filters, an extensive matrix and integrated effects, open up a limitless spectrum of timbres. Discover 768 dynamic presets or dive deep into the world of Advanced Sound Design.
Tactile, direct workflow
PolyBrute 12 remains true to its line and dispenses with complex menu structures. The direct, tactile experience of sound design takes centre stage. The intuitive VST editor is available for fine-tuning on the computer.
Excellent build quality
With materials such as black walnut wood, a state-of-the-art keyboard and a striking aluminium housing, the PolyBrute 12 meets the highest professional and quality standards.
Perfect DAW integration
The included PolyBrute Connect software creates a seamless connection between the PolyBrute 12 and digital production environments, enables direct sound design in the DAW and synchronises all changes between hardware and software in real time.

Arturia was founded in 1999 in Grenoble, France, and initially made its name with software emulations of legendary vintage synthesizers. In combination with specially adapted controller keyboards, Arturia created an excellent integration of software and hardware — the V Collection software suite has for years been the industry standard for virtual synthesizers.
With the analogue Brute product line, Arturia scored a surprise coup a few years ago and has since been at the forefront of the analogue synthesizer revival movement. In 2015 the BeatStep Pro became a bestseller in the sequencer/pad controller category. With the flagship synth MatrixBrute and the drum machine DrumBrute, Arturia now stands for flexible, powerful instruments with a distinctive sound and an absolutely intuitive operating concept.
