Arturia has premiered their latest synthesizer, the Polybrute 12, as the newest addition to the Brute family. Surpassing its predecessor, the Polybrute 12 boasts a doubled voice count, making it an indispensable tool for crafting intricate soundscapes and lush textures.
Retaining the core features of the original Polybrute, such as three oscillators per voice, dual filter architecture comprising Steiner and ladder filters, three envelopes, three LFOs, and a comprehensive modulation matrix, the Polybrute 12 also preserves the unique morphing functionality, allowing seamless transitions between distinct sounds. Notably, the inclusion of the Morphée 3D touch controller and ribbon controller further enhances the expressive capabilities of the instrument. However, the Polybrute 12 introduces a groundbreaking innovation – the FullTouch keyboard technology – a paradigm shift in synthesizer keybed design that enables new levels of expression and control previously unattainable with traditional keyboards.

The FullTouch keyboard technology revolutionizes the way synthesizer keyboards operate, offering multiple layers of polyphonic expression beyond the conventional poly-aftertouch capabilities. Unlike traditional keyboards that register key engagement solely as on or off states, the FullTouch technology detects continuous vertical displacement of keys, providing a spectrum of pressure sensing opportunities.
The FullTouch keyboard technology revolutionizes the way synthesizer keyboards operate…
With four distinct sensing modes: Monophonic aftertouch, Polyphonic aftertouch, FullTouch AT, FullTouch AT>Z, and FullTouch Env>AT – the FullTouch keyboard empowers musicians with newfound control over their performances. In FullTouch AT mode, notes are triggered at the top of the key, allowing for immediate aftertouch response across the key’s full range of motion. FullTouch AT>Z mode extends this capability by introducing a second layer of aftertouch beyond a specific key travel point, enabling dual layers of pressure-based modulation for nuanced sound design. The FullTouch Env>AT mode leverages detailed position sensing to dynamically shape envelope responses based on key interactions in real-time, resulting in exceptionally responsive and expressive soundscapes.

Moreover, the custom keybed design of the Polybrute 12 sets a new standard in synthesizer keyboard ergonomics. Characterized by enhanced stability and extended key length compared to traditional synth action keyboards, the Polybrute 12 keybed offers a premium, piano-like feel conducive to precise and immersive performances. Capable of transmitting MPE data, the Polybrute 12 serves as a versatile controller for external software and sound modules, further expanding its creative potential and versatility in musical production. In essence, Arturia’s Polybrute 12 represents a transformative leap forward in analog synthesizer technology, redefining the boundaries of expressiveness and innovation in electronic music instrumentation.
