Arturia PolyBrute 12 is a MASTERPIECE (Superbooth24)

I was absolutely blown away by the @ArturiaOfficial Polybrute 12 at this year's @superboothberlin . The synth is a piece of art in itself, and Lily from Arturia showcases its incredible sounds and unmatched expressiveness in this video.

I'm sorry my camera work isn't the best here (some of the shots are out of focus), but there's not much time to plan ahead for video shoots at events like Superbooth. Things don't always go as planned, which is part of the charm when filming videos like this one. It's not perfect, but I hope you'll enjoy the sounds and sights of the Arturia Polybrute 12.

Thanks to @MinimalAudio for sponsoring our SB24 coverage.

Venus Theory's chan introduced me to this.. You are my 2nd introduction to this.. I can't wait to buy it. I'm not even kidding. This will be my FIRST synthesizer... Truth. Don't even have a mac laptop for Logic yet..

[tonyhill]

Masterpiece indeed. Best synthesizer ever built, I think.Combining so many arturtia innovations...the matrix, the dual filters, the morphee, with this full touch and ribbon....its infinite expression

[ingolf]

An excellent presentation of a wonderful instrument 💎

[jamesbtex]

Wow, that is one HUGH synth! I don't think I've ever seen on that big.

[PanopticMotion]

I always enjoy Lily demonstrating Arturia's products. Well done! Brilliant synth!

[Riktenstein]

Every now and again a synth gets released when you think, I’d really really like that. Great video by the way.

The level of expressiveness of this beauty/beast is freaking impressive!! :O

If i could afford this i would, ive been an arturia enjoyer since the microbrute, which i still love, added a microfreak to my sound palette two years ago and now im ready for a centerpiece type synth to my modest setup. Ive ordered a poly d and am excited for its arrival in a couple months but its no polybrute, but it's within my budget so who am i to complain considering what other people are going through right now. The polybrute 12 is an heirloom synth and i think it sounds wonderful.

First time I visited your blog. Hope to see you again soon Lily. Well laid out review. I agree this being a masterpiece. And I see the screw on legs allso work on this synthesizer. Looks functional and beautiful.

Best demo i have seen so far, and from one of the sound designers ! Bravo !

I think the only drawback is how big it is. But it seems to fit the category of "last synth you'll ever need", especially because of all the control options - poly aftertouch with envelope control, the XYZ pad, ribbon, matrix, etc. Good demo of the aftertouch. Thanks.

The fun thing is that this synth moves away from knop twisting into learning to play the keyboard. It’s the keyboard itself that demands full attention and has a learning curve to master.

[derekjp]

The day a synth became... a true instrument. Inspired by the words of Venus Theory.

[DaveChips]

It was amazing experience hearing it live... Also my kidney got scared when the pricing was mentioned 😅

[deareeMusic]

almost grabbed this but it is big. need a bigger spot to house it

[FortheSoulFtS]

Une superbe présentation faite par une bien belle âme. Bravo !

[gretareinarsson]

Apart from voice numbers and the keyboard, is there much difference between it and the 6 voice?

[aweidenhammer]

She is awesome. Does she have any albums.

[mpmi]

Dope but I wish they'd get someone to play some funk, pop, wave R&B or something else other than atmosphere, lofi, slow evolving sleep music to showcase the sound range. Everything sounded pretty much the same with the electric piano/pads and sweeping reverbs.

[JayaLove]

Incredible. Are you saying you yourself designed some of the factory sounds on the first page?
