And 1 of the LFOs can become OSC 3, so there's your memorymoog AND don't you think that SUPER 6 allowing the blending of of Hybrid Analog with with the Digital waveforms would give Super 6 depth not achievable in PolyBrute? And don't you think the SONIICS in sSuper 6 are just MAGICAL? So Hi-Fi! I don't own one, so I'm just guessing.

Update: my Pocket did indeed develop the dreaded crack, but thankfully Analogue repaired it quickly. It took about 6 weeks from the first time I contacted them to getting it shipped to them; then another 2 weeks to get it back repaired. Overall I still love the Pocket and highly recommend it.

I had the Polybrute for 3 years now and I never had the issue where you turn it ON and you only have one led flashing. Unfortunately I think that those who have it probably have a hardware problem that is somehow corrupting the firmware and makes the Polybrute boot in firmware update mode.

That's a nice use of the looping envelope, I'd mostly been using it on aggressive leads instead of pads. On pads I was sort of using the LFO like a looping envelope with some of the digital wave shapes though. But definitely not quite the same character of sound!

over a year now with it , but no firmware issues so far (knock on wood), is been a breeze. The software (Polybrute connect vst) does at times get lost or stuck on a patch and wont take changes anymore from the VST, prompting me to replug the USB to "resync" it, so that is my issue so far with it. Otherwise, the rest of it is bang on just like the video; Superb instrument!

Just for the record, I have a Pollybrute 18 months. After the last update. I don’t get any issues. Maybe you should try installing the firmware again 🤔 Also, you have to be careful with the MIDI in and thru if they’re all connected and you’re using USB, it’s good to select different channels for in and out If you have a multiple set up otherwise you get a loopback in the midi. I also had an issue with the hold button staying on After the last update that was fixed. Maybe you have a dodgy one 🤔

@@clamberryI hope you have because it’s amazing, use it to create custom envelopes and LFOs with the ribbon and morphee, and even aftertouch. For example with the ribbon, just hit record, then hold down a note and just move your finger back and forth at varying speeds/distance from the center point for as long as you want. Release the note to stop recording. The result is a custom lfo with varying speed, amplitude and shape. Then set up mod routings with ribbon as the source.

Some great observations! There are USB MIDI issues in Windows 10 (leftover from XP!) that people won’t admit to - in fact, some will tell you they don’t exist - that affect more than just Arturia’s products. Microsoft finally admitted to their own MIDI shortcomings and addressed them in Windows 11 (and further addressed in November of 2022, but only in Windows 11). I also agree about the short key travel. I became really spoiled by the keybed on the Korg Kronos that I owned and gigged with until just a couple of months ago. This one feels like the Keylab mkII. I’ll get used to it. It’s a small price to pay for the rest of the functionality and awesome sound the Polybrute can deliver.

That's a great point! Which would also explain why the problem was much better after I moved to Win11.
@GerenM63 Жыл бұрын
@@clamberry Microsoft's fix is not complete, though. It requires manufacturers to update their drivers to take advantage of the new solution, so devices with outdated drivers will continue to see the same problems they always did. Technically, the latest version of Polybrute Connect is not new enough to take advantage of the updated Windows USB MIDI routines, however, you updating to Windows 11 may have cleared out enough registry cruft to allow the older routines to work for you.

I've had my Deluge nearly 4 years, got the OLED update installed (and some general servicing done at the same time - I'd been rough on the gold knobs). I've got over 200 hundred songs in there, diverse sample libraries, weird drum kits, chill jams. I think the OLED screen is awesome for the enhancements it brings to the machine. Things like readability, lowered cognitive overhead, and the easier navigation have really transformed the experience for me. BTW, have you tried arranger mode yet?
