There are a couple of things I'd like to see in a PolyBrute. First would be the ability to route an oscillator directly to the amp without having to go through one of the filters. And, I'd love a third oscillator. I've got Noire now, which I love, and if I had the funds, I'd upgrade to the 12-voices.

Nothing additional is necessary, it’s perfect. 21st century’s flagship, a modern CS-80. It is worth its price. You know what could be good for the masses? If Arturia came up with a midi controller (61 or 88 keys) that has this keybed with FullTouch, but with much lower pricetag of course. That was a hot cake.

Daniel’s harmonic knowledge, melodic sophistication, inventive chord progressions as well as his dynamic and emotional playing makes him the perfect guy to demo these synths and other instruments. Sweetwater should feel lucky they have a musician with a level of musical imagination on the level of some of the great songwriters and composers. And I’m not even exaggerating. His improvisations never fail to give me goosebumps.

It's great to see how someone like Daniel can push a synthesiser to its limits, showing off its true beauty and colours. The harmonics and overtones are so rich producing such authentic timbre every second of the way in real-time that is welcome to anyones ears. I sense that this synthesiser will send synth geeks and musicians away into exploration.

Sweetwater we need Daniel fisher to do a deep dive of this thing

@AdamsOlympia: You might want to try the Touche from Expressive E, thats likely the one Arturia tried to copy. It doesn't do the Chaos Pad x/y thing but you can move the whole pad left and right instead, which is a much more controlled motion, especially as you are concentrating on playing with the right at the same time.

Sweetwater please do one of these every week.

Hydrasynth Keyboard + Expressive E Touche might get pretty close. Thinking about buying Touche to pair with my Hyrdra Keys if Arturia doesn't release a controller like this. Osmose + Touche might even exceed it.

Love watching Daniel work

Outside of an Oberheim with a modern feature set, or a more affordable Moog poly, THIS is what I’ve been hoping for. The Polybrute is one of, if not the best sounding modern poly (I don’t count the OBX8 in that list because it’s all vintage circuits) and the feature set is second to maybe the Moog One. But for me the 6 voices weren’t enough. Certainly a bargain when compared to the Trigon6 P6 and OB6. But that synth deserved more and it finally has it. This is phenomenal. The only things I would change are hard buttons for the matrix control for added durability, and a full keyboard length ribbon. But that’s just personal presence. The synth needs nothing more. It’s perfect. The end.

Good job! So nice to watch and listen to❤

I’ve just started my synth and modular journey and want to day that Daniel Fisher has inspired me so much already. Amazing work man, thank you.

Amazing sounds! Great work Daniel! I must say, I had heard some demos which featured less than stellar sounds. You have changed all of that! You’ve shown the huge pallet of possibilities! Thanks so much!

I gotta say that this video is much much nicer and inspiring than your regular videos that week one knob at a time (though I like to see what every knob and filter can do, at times it can be very annoying at times-no offence)!!!! To showcase a fully modified sound that shows what the synth can do or create, along with your skills provide excellent entertainment and like I said, Inspiring!!! Thanks for this video!!!

Well doggone it. I just picked up the U-D-O Super Gemini and this comes out the day after it arrives ! Well I may have to get the PolyBrute 12 to go along with the SG and 3rd Wave. Love the color too as it makes seeing the controls so much easier. Great playing and tweaking as always.

Great Demo as always Daniel! PB12 sounds amazing!

This synth is in 2024 what the CS-80 was in 1976

The finest modern analog poly synth at the moment? Of course the genius of Daniel Fischer at the controls make most any synth sound amazing. Boy, this sure looks fun, though!

You read my mind, I think this synth sound more richer than Moog One and is cheaper.

On the other demo page I suggested why hasn't this full touch MPE technology made it into the most obvious gear? A keytar. It's this exactly what it is for to express as if it's a guitar or saxophone etc. No matter how cool it sounds or plays, until you can play it like a guitar you still won't stand out in the crowd. Arturia needs to make a keytar including with the ribbon slider.

This is very good, an immense improvement aesthetically over the previous Polybrute. I like the color, reminds of Fairlight. Also, the part that starts at 8:32 reminds me of a Hiromi piece. What's not to like?

Oh. I get it now.😍😍😍 (sells everything to be able to buy one)

This synthesizer would be the right one for a movie score and I've read comments that a lot of people compare it to the Yamaha CS80. So, who wants to step in the footsteps of Vangelis?

I'm getting Vangelis vibes from some of this 😊

Hi bernds. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to play until I've heard the first new note of each preset that I've randomly selected. My primary consideration is that each new performance starts in a different key signature. Afterwards, I'll throw out some songs for not being interesting enough, and I might shorten a song if needed. But, much of what I played is in the video. I feel that randomly selecting presets (and then tweaking like crazy) is a fair way to experience a new synth. -_Daniel_

It just seems to sound so thin, bright & grainy _ most of the time _ for a flagship, fully-analog synth (with an attendant price-tag). It has 3 (4 now, I suppose) party tricks, but they are not unique. And they can’t bring out a Noir / color-variation, fast enough … !! 😬 Like its predecessor, it’s something I’d want for making a cliché ‘outer space’ (or maybe ‘deep underwater abyss’) soundtrack, but otherwise … ? 🤔 6:50 - 7:40 Some Morph tricks … … Morphee stuff … … 11:20 - 11:50 Morph / Ribbon trick … 12:32 - 13:47. EDM section … … 18:18 - 18:34 OK, that sounds cool … … 27:20 - 27:47 Flat Eric approved … … 43:11 onwards, some cool tricks … …

Okay… don’t get me wrong…. It’s absolutely stunning, beautiful. But I was hoping they would have produced a more affordable polysynth, like 5-6 voice microbrute type thing with way way simpler controls.

$4000

This is all I ever wanted was someone to make an analog synth instead of the cheap toy reissues. If Arturia can do it then why can't Roland, Yamaha and Korg just.... 🧐🤔🤨😐😡 Nevermind

This might be the upcoming new release my gear advisor eluded to. I have the 6 voice. I'm not sure this is gonna make it onto a rack here...
