PolyBrute Review +70 presets explored - it's all about the Morph
Added 2020-09-15 16:02:54 +0000 UTCHi!
When does a feature define a synth? I think that will be the case with the morph feature in PolyBrute, Arturia's new six-voice flagship analog synth.
We've seen this capability with digital synths - Octatrack's Scenes and Maschine's Locks - but this is the first time (at least as far as I'm aware) that a capability like this exists in an analog synth, along with a workflow that's just begging for it to be used.
Does it deliver? I think so, in spades: morph is probably the most innovative feature I've seen in synths in 2020, and while the filter encoder is bigger, the morph knob is the one to explore in this synth...
If you have a passion for synths, you'll want to check this out, and hopefully, this trickles down to other synths in the future!
All my best,
Ziv (judging encoders by their character and not their size on youtube as "Loopop"...)
PS Whenever I get too excited about a piece of gear, I feel like I need to repeat the usual disclaimer: Arturia did send me this synth, but Patrons like you and Youtube ad revenue pays my bills, and to a lesser extent affiliate links to Amazon and others. I never accept payment for reviews (this or any other), and my reviews are solely my opinion. Companies don't see them before I hit the publish button.
