Arturia PolyBrute

CurrentReleased 2020

The original six-voice PolyBrute: an analogue polysynth whose presets each hold two sounds you can morph between with a three-axis touch pad and ribbon. It shares the PolyBrute 12's two filters, modulation matrix and sequencer but uses a conventional keyboard with channel aftertouch. It suits players who want the morphing analogue sound for considerably less than the 12-voice version.
