@@Sweet.Ohm.Studio wow, thanks a lot !!! 🤗

Probably but it still has no bass.

Wow, thanks for your kind message 🥰

Every Brute needs a demo like this !!! I love your "brain childs" as I own the smallest one in my studio but growls more than the others !!!

Thank you sir for designing such amazing instruments! Keep em comming! :-)

This beautiful synth has transformed my life when it comes to sound design. I completely get you on the therapeutic side of this beautiful machine. This is a piece I made with just the polybrute with three layers/tracks. It’s so subtle in the timbre, it is as close to an acoustic instrument to any ice played before. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9d_isd5tMDcdmg.html

Shim is a gorgeous patch.

Tuning it down to 432???

@@anthonyman8008 can this be done...? I looked into it but I think you can only tune in semi-tones, not to a set frequency

Thanks I really think it's a fantastic instrument

Thanks a lot 😊 Some of them are already included in factory presets Others will be downloadable on arturia's website

@@Michael_Geyre I've always said that Dave Smith Instruments does a fantastic job of getting patch designers together and putting out great sound. I am so please to see that Arturia are following that lead. Again, your creations are a huge addition to the Brute family!

@@FrankPSF wow, thanks a lot 😊

Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy it it's definitly a great sounding and very powerful instrument !!!

Merci beaucoup, oui, ce magnifique instrument est aussi capable de ça (possibilité de le faire aussi au ruban)

Have fun with both these instruments 😊

Grand merci à toi 😊

Thanks 😊

Thanks a lot 😊

Thanks a lot I wish you'll manage to get one someday!!!

Well I convinced the wife, I just placed my order today. I am beyond excited.

@@lukeschmitz5583 congratulations 😊

I’m sorry to report that there is no hope.

Hopefully,,, yes, .... But with the current , newest outbreak of the dreaded , government sponsored covid thingy,,, the supply chain of good talent has been seriously interrupted...

Merci beaucoup 😊

Thanks 😊

Merci beaucoup 😊

Thanks, I really hate demos with people talking all the time

Merci cher ami, vous en êtes un autre 😎

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

Thanks a lot, yes, it's definitely an amazing instrument Most of my sounds are included in factory presets, and others will be downloadable for free on arturia's website There were some few modifications on some patches while being included in factory bank, but they're easily tweakable to get back the original tone

Wow, thanks a lot !!

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

@@Michael_Geyre I'm curious to know, are all of the sounds you show in this video also in the Polybrute presets?

@@CaidicusProductions some, not all Others might be included in banks downloadable later

@@Michael_Geyre ok, cool. Thank you for the reply.

Thanks 😊

I'm lucky enough to have the instrument home for quite a long time, now I see more and more comments of people that really wish to hear/see more, I had to share that moment with all of you 😊

8;55 is a clone of xpander/matrix 12 patches, quite faithful

The Matrix-12 was my all-time favourite synth - until the PolyBrute appeared. :)

Polybrute is a fantastic instrument, but does not replace a matrix 12, in my opinion It can sound pretty close You need to have both 😂

Sure, the PB doesn‘t replace the M12 1 by 1, but it is similarly complex in its modular approach. After all, it‘s a matter of real estate; I‘ll have to swap out one of my synths for the PB anyway (MxB and Rev2 looking anxious).

Thanks

Thanks a lot 🥰

Thanks a lot for your message (UK, burford, holdsworth, are very important influences for me), and cs80 my favorite polysynth While I can talk to you, thanks a lot for your work regarding this fantastic instrument!!!

thanks :)

Definitely a fantastic synth, I hope you'll enjoy

Merci Alain 😊

Thanks 😊 You think so ? Spend more time programming it, you'll manage to make better sounds easily Also, spend some time analyzing presets you like That's how I learned to program

Thanks:)

Wow, ça c'est un sacré compliment 🙏

Thanks Matrixbrute is a very interesting and powerful monosynth, some points still have to be improved, let's hope they'll release a new one, someday But I admit I have been very surprised by the polybrute

Je bossais sur la 1ère banque quand j'ai appris son décès, quelle perte ... C'était la moindre des choses de lui rendre hommage

Love

I’m looking forward to playing VibraSlide on my Duesenberg Fairytale along with the PolyBrute.

@@marksulkanon and I'm looking forward to hearing what you come up with..

Bientôt, bientôt !!!

thanks a lot for your comment first, i have to tell that, in my opinion, the moog one is definitly a bad synthesizer (well, it's so powerful that it's always possible to make good sounding sounds with it, but they completely f**ked up the filter, the synth is noisy so they added a built in noise reduction, and eventide FX sound nothing like expected ..., if you have a P5 or a memmy next to it, just to the test, take 1 vco, fully open your vcf, listen to the sound, moog one sounds very dull, not much brightness in the vco sound) i've not tried yet the new prophets, but i won't expect it to sound the same as a P5 rev2, keep in mind that, if they've included (apparently) the same filters, well, VCO were also SSM, and did not sound the same as VCO produced by later CEM chips about the polybrute, it is a VERY stable synth, as it's nearly perfectly tuned when you power it on its programmable matrix modulation is very powerful, so i've recreated instability "artificially", to my ears, the result is pretty convincing some of my sounds were created based on some old venerables instruments that i happen to have in my studio (such as Matrix 12, Cs80, Jp8, and more) i was really amazed how close to these instruments the polybrute could sound in most cases ok, not 100% identical, all synths have their personnality, but most of the time, i'd say, it'd be pretty difficult to recognize who's who in a mix when i wanted to replicate a feature, who was missing, i often found another way to mimic the reaction, and get very similar results ... it's not a perfect synth, no synth is perfect, but it's very powerful/versatile/good sounding give it a try when trying it, if you feel the sound being a bit "harsh", then, use ladder filter instead of steiner, and also, do not push to high vco levels in the mixer

@@Michael_Geyre Thx Michael! I really appreciate your thorough response. I do have a PolyBrute on order. I should receive it in April, and your vid has certainly gotten me more excited. Given your synth collection, I know you'd agree that the last thing we want is for two synths to "sound the same." Otherwise, why would we need another synth? An OBX, a MemMoog and a CS80 all sound completely different, but they all sound Amazing in their own right. I guess that's what I'm hoping for out of the Polybrute. That it sounds different, but equally amazing. : ) That it sounds as beautiful/full/lush as an OBX, but with the modulation capabilities of a modern synth - and the Polybrute clearly excels here because of its innovative mod matrix. It's Great advice to remind anyone (incl me) to turn down the Osc's in the Mix Section. It's a bit disappointing to hear that you have to "artificially" create instability. I've never quite fig'd out why they need to make the osc's so stable these daze - maybe to handle the massive amount of mod capability. I'm assuming if you start out unstable, by the time the mods are finished, it'll be a train wreck, but maybe it just has to do with modern chips. I have no idea. But, my one ask is always the same, start out with a sonic masterpiece, and then work backwards and add in all the features. They Hydrasynth is another. A programming masterpiece, and a masterful synth in SO many ways. It sounds really, really good, but still not quite as good as a Prophet VS - in a basic pad competition anyway. I'm hoping one day they'll achieve both - great sound and great mod capability. Sounds like the Polybrute gets close. I'm excited to see. The UDO Super 6 also seems to offer both great sonics in a flex synth - but clearly not as flex as the Polybrute.

@@Pacer416 it's a choice in their design to have very stable vco (they're linear), to me, it's a good point (the matrixbrute, that i like too, needed quite a long time before being in tune) about the vco volume in the mixer, i often heard people telling "minibrute has an agressive sound, i dislike it", in my opinion, it can sounds very soft too, with low volume vco (but it's the same with any synths) mod matrix is really fantastic, consider that you can modulate a modulation point (as example, you have a lfo modulation a vcf, you can modulate the modulation range with another source, such as keyboard) i used that trick on a lot of patches (when you reach a sound that you like, but you're not 100% happy with it, well, tweaking small details helps reaching the 100% satisfaction ;) ) you mention the prophet VS, i tried to replicate its strings patch in my "dagashiya" patch, of course, for many reasons, they don't sound identical (4 digital aliased oscillators vs 2 analog), but to my ears, the result is pretty appealing (i also tried to mimic the VS vocal patch, you can reach by playing dagashiya, and touch morphee on the right - Up/right, once again, it's not identical, but it reminds me that preset) about the hydrasynth, Matt Pike made some presets for that instrument (and also did some fantastic ones on the polybrute)

And if you put another freshly tuned up vintage prophet 5 rev 2 up against yours it would sound different as well.

@@danielcolfer4671 HI Daniel, You are right, but I do believe this is becoming a bit of "an excuse." Yes, they sound slightly different, but they don't sound THAT different. Where the Vintage Prophet 5 Rev 2 significantly outperformed the P10 IMHO was in the filter section. The new one just didn't have the incredible nuances of the original. I'm not sure that would change from vintage p5 to vintage p5 assuming (of course) that they were in reasonable condition. Like I said, the P10 is a great instrument, it just sounds more different to the original (at least the Rev 2 I tested) than one is able to hear online. The P10 sounds thick, full and organic - and the keyboard is significantly better. It was just a few notches short of the original for me sonically speaking, and the other person in the room agreed with me. Remember too, the original has analog LFO's and analog envelopes. They're not as tight as the digital ones used in the new one so the vintage P5 moves more/more organic, and even if you turn the "Vintage Knob" on the new one, it doesn't necessarily get "more organic sounding," it gets "more sloppy sounding" if you know what I mean.

It's one of my early patch, at that time, there was no ring mod in the polybrute, so I used a trick to simulate the effect

@@Michael_Geyre I hear love for the Yamaha CS series in your sounds. 😀

@@friendlynoise indeed, i can't deny the facts :) (Cs80's probably my all time favorite synth)

Wow Thanks a lot Contact me, with great pleasure

je te l'avais dit ...

@@Michael_Geyre toutes mes confuses..

I made an ondes martenot preset using the ribbon AND Z axis on morphee (to simulate ondes touch) It was pretty convincing, but: - Arturia told me they did not want a preset with no sound while playing the keyboard (even if I named it "push Z") - the prototype I've been using had an early ribbon design, that was not working properly (that's why I don't use it much on the video, except for few non precise fx), so i did not feel making a demo of such a sound in these conditions...

Enjoy 😊

@@Michael_Geyre I am its brilliant. I was gonna buy the Summit but went for the PolyBrute instead.

Wow !!

@@Michael_Geyre L'inspiration, jusqu'au nom des sons... j'adore ;)

J'ai parfois passé du temps pour les noms

be patient, it's worth waiting, you'll really have fun with both these instruments

@@Michael_Geyre Love the MatrixBrute - really looking forward to the Poly but the wait is getting very frustrating. :( I know it'll be great when I get it.

I ordered mine on Thursday. Got it the next day. It's a great instrument. Just wondering how it compares to OB-6 or Super6.

@@bistermean2046 wow - where in the world are you?

@@awpMusic1 I'm located in Skandinavia.

Sure, some of my presets are included in the factory bank, others will be included in further banks Some sounds (including Spovtnik) are slightly different in factory bank, but you can easily tweak it to sound exactly like my other demo) On the other spovtnik video, to have more polyphony and mix the tune more easily, I recorded separately the sequence and the strings patch

Thanks The trick is - noise modulating vcf - combination of filters recreating narrow sound It'll be included in a further downloadable bank

It would be possible

Merci à toi, camarade barbu 🧔

I like zombie robot sounds, but it's hard to play music with My goal when designing patches on polybrute was to make them as playable and inspiring as possible

And thanks for the Lyle tribute. I have spent so many hours with his music, especially As Falls Wichita. So good.

Thanks a lot, I'm a huge fan of Tomita's work with analog synths But I made just one sound in the same spirit in my bank (B patch on trics, to mimic a Ravel patch) I programmed for fun the sound of the taking off rocket from "planets", not included in my bank About Lyle Mays, I felt I had to make a tribute, as I was programming my 1st bank when I learned he passed away

Since it's possible to split the keyboard, you can have 2 sounds on 2 different tracks, but, I highly recommend to record each track you need as audio track (you can keep the midi track and save the preset, so you can record again if needed) Also, keep in mind this synth is only 6 voices polyphonic

Analog synths are normally not multitimbral

Thanks 😊 No, all for free Some will be included in factory presets (some were slightly modified), and others in later downloadable banks on arturia's website

Thanks No, I did not intend to reproduce geneviev patch (that I live too) with multi path Actually, it was a test patch to make multi morphings (the usual morph function + programmed additional morphs using the matrix mod, controlled by mod wheel) But, as a test, just for myself, I could recreate geneviv patch on the polybrute (but did not put it in my presets)

@@Michael_Geyre Ok thanks...the very first notes of the patch you were playing sounded just like the Oberheim...anyway, I am glad to hear that the Polybrute can create these sounds.

thanks :) "dis vintage knob", well, yes and no the polybrute is a very stable and precise instrument (maybe due to its linear vco ?), to make them more "alive", there is a "detune" source in the modulation matrix, that lets you generate a sort of "randomizer" that can be used various ways (as example, i used this feature to make my thx sound patch) it can be used also to make a sort of voice pan, that can recalls oberheim polysynths so, i often used that detune feature to generate unstability in vco tuning, but, modulation depth was itself often modulated by keyboard, in order to have less modulation on higher notes (otherwise, it'd sound completely out of tune) i really love to have access to such tricks

@@Michael_Geyre it sounds very warm and lively. The details in your Programming are stunning!! Thank you for your answer

Thanks 😊 No, some of them (and they could have been slightly modified on final version) Others will be downloadable later on arturia's website

@@Michael_Geyre Very cool!

hard to answer as they're all very different beasts i've not used the prophet X during a long period, so i can't say (some love it, some others don't) i have a kronos and know the polybrute really well do you want to have only synth type sounds ? or would you like to have a workstation that can read samples, have a multitracks sequencer ? despite it's a complexe instrument, polybrute is pretty quick to program when you know it well, kronos is a pain to use VA part sounds bad (in my opinion), i have much better results by sampling synths and reprogramming using kronos features (i'm preparing various banks who'll be for sale, someday ...) in the other hand, polybrute is a very versatile instrument, and can sounds (more or less) close to many other analog synths i believe prophet X would let you use your own samples and tweak them with its synthesis so, my best advice is, think about what kind of instrument you'd need, listen to demos, test the instruments if you can in the worst case, you could always sell the instrument to buy another one, if you're disappointed with it good luck

There will be some additional banks downloadable on arturia's website 😉

@@Michael_Geyre yes haha

Did you like it ? To complete my bank and perfect my sounds, I replayed all of them every day (before giving the complete bank to arturia), and used to do some minor modifications to improve patches Each time I started to play that sound, I instantly felt inspired, and had to force myself stopping after a few minutes to keep my work going

@@Michael_Geyre yeah it sounds really good IMO especially when you play it in C sharp

To have 12 voices ? I don't think so, will ask

What do you mean?

I really want this synth but the price hurts a little (spoken in lyrics)

D'ailleurs, votre art de faire fonctionner ce synthétiseur est plus que supérieur à la moyenne par rapport à d'autres performances

Merci beaucoup 😊

Yes, it's love, and love hurts! :) I'm waiting for mine, and I'm seriously considering getting a second one for a little ménages à trois... :)

Thanks for your kind message to be honest, i really disliked the moog one (in my opinion, despite it's a very powerful instrument, it does not sound that good, especially about filter and FX, can you imagine that ?? a bad sounding moog filter and bad sounding eventide FX in the same instrument ... what a curse ...) i had next to it several other instruments (both classics and news synths), even raw waveforms had nothing common ... for the same price, you could get a quantum + polybrute and keep some money for an hydrasynth ? really, non sense anyway, have fun with the synth you're going to buy ;)

No, sadly :( Would be fantastic
