If you thought you knew what a polysynth was capable of - think again. If you thought you knew what the interplay between human touch and analog synthesis could sound like - think again.

PolyBrute 12 takes in-the-moment sonic expression to a whole new level, with a groundbreaking FullTouch® keyboard that brings you into direct and tactile connection with your sound like never before.

A machine as sensitive as it is powerful, embodying a dynamic and expressive sound on par with acoustic instruments.

FAQs

Q: What is the "Full Touch" MPE keyboard technology?

A: This is the crown jewel of the PolyBrute 12. Unlike standard keyboards, this 61-note bed tracks the position, pressure, and velocity of your fingers across the entire key travel. It allows for acoustic-level expression, letting you "vibrato" a synth note just by moving your finger on the key.

Q: How many voices of polyphony does it actually have?

A: True to its name, it features 12-voice polyphony. This is double the original PolyBrute, allowing for massive, complex chords and long-tail pads without "note stealing" or cutting off your release tails.

Q: Can I morph between two different sounds?

A: Yes. The signature "Morphee" 3D controller and the Morph knob allow you to transition seamlessly between two entirely different patches (A and B). This isn't just a crossfade; it physically moves every single parameter on the synth simultaneously for infinite sonic variations.
