Arturia PolyBrute

Probably the best synth for the money

The flexibility of the synth is amazing. The build quality is amazing. I've tried the competitors instruments in this price range and they don't compare. Would highly recommend

Great

great built, options, and sounds but too heavy 20kg !

A huge dissapointment !

Synth is very heavy, too heavy for today standards. Oscillators go out of tune constantly. Display is producing a horrible high pitched noise constantly. Morphe is not really that good and should have been placed instead of the pitch wheels as you WILL constantly touch it with your palm when using the wheels. Sound is nothing particularly distinctive and bad design overall...

Quality instrument

This has got to be the best hardware product from Arturia to date. A quality build, responsive controls, good firmware, excellent computer based editor and many realtime controls on the unit itself (ribbon, pitch and mod wheels and the morphee) make it a really expressive instrument. Like all synths, you really need 4 hands to play it in realtime but this beats most other synths hands down on the playability front.

The presets are good too. Its a hefty instrument so you wont want to move it around too much. Good for basses, leads etc like the matrixbrute is/was but this can do stunning strings/pads as well. Easy to create your own patches too. Recommended.

Excellent sound, profound capabilities & great integration

This is one of the finest instruments I laid my hands on! It is very intuitive to learn (with great Tutorials by the Arturia team online) and it is incredibly musical. For someone who is a pianist and a composer as well as a producer/dj, it is a great gift, as it complements my creative work on all fronts.

One of the greatest surprises has been the excellent support for some questions I had from the Arturia team. I am truly amazed by the professionalism and passion of these guys! It makes the whole learning process and experience so much easier, enjoyable and meaningful! Well done Arturia team for both an exquisite creation and for taking care of us every step along the way!
