The PolyBrute 12 is what happens when Arturia decides that 6 voices simply wasn't enough of a statement. With 12 voices of pure analog warmth, a Full Touch® MPE keyboard that responds to your every whim, and a modulation matrix deep enough to lose a weekend in, this isn't just a synthesizer — it's an analog powerhouse built for musicians who take their sound seriously.
From lush, sprawling pads to precision-sequenced melodic mayhem, the PolyBrute 12 has the sonic vocabulary to back up whatever you're trying to say.
Next-Level Expressiveness: Play It Like You Mean It
The PolyBrute 12's Full Touch® MPE polyphonic keyboard doesn't just register that you pressed a key — it tracks how you pressed it, where your finger landed, and how much attitude you're putting into it. Combined with the iconic Morphée XYZ pad and wooden ribbon controller, this synth puts multidimensional expression directly under your fingertips.
Full Touch® MPE Polyphonic Keyboard: A 61-note velocity-sensitive keybed with three distinct aftertouch modes that tracks position, pressure, and touch independently per key — giving you polyphonic expressiveness that most synths can only dream of.
Morphée XYZ Controller + Ribbon: The 3-axis Morphée pad and wooden ribbon controller add an extra layer of real-time gestural control, letting you sculpt sound in ways that go far beyond a standard mod wheel.
Motion Recorder: Capture and loop your real-time control movements for evolving, living performances.
Sound Design Without Limits: 12 Voices, Endless Possibilities
If you've ever wished your synthesizer had more headroom for complex, layered analog textures, the PolyBrute 12 just handed you twelve lanes of it. Two analog oscillators per voice, dual filters, three LFOs, and a 12x32 modulation matrix with up to 64 connections mean the ceiling on your sound design is effectively... somewhere above the clouds.
Dual Analog Filters: A 12 dB Steiner-Parker multimode filter and a 24 dB Low Pass Ladder filter with filter drive work together — or against each other, if that's your thing — to sculpt tones from silky smooth to aggressively raw.
12x32 Modulation Matrix: With up to 32 destinations and 64 connections, this matrix gives you a level of modulation routing flexibility that makes other synths look like they're still using training wheels.
64-Step Polyphonic Sequencer + 768 Presets: Whether you're building sequences from scratch or diving into 480 factory presets across 768 preset slots, the PolyBrute 12 makes sure you're never short of a starting point.
Tactile Workflow: All Knobs, No Menu Diving
Arturia built the PolyBrute 12 for players who'd rather twist a knob than navigate six sub-menus during a session. Every parameter is reachable directly from the panel, and the PolyBrute Connect software mirrors the hardware in real time for those moments when you'd prefer working from your DAW.
Direct Panel Control: Every key parameter lives right on the surface — no shift functions, no hidden menus.
OLED Display + Preset Browsing: A clear, intuitive OLED display makes navigating patches and parameters fast and readable, even on dimly lit stages or in studios with questionable lighting decisions.
PolyBrute Connect Software: A like-for-like VST editor mirrors the hardware in real time, letting you manage patches, import sound banks, and control every parameter from your computer without losing the tactile experience.
The PolyBrute 12: Analog Synthesis Taken Seriously
The Arturia PolyBrute 12 represents the most expressive, fully-featured analog synthesizer Arturia has ever built. With 12 voices of genuine analog depth, Full Touch® MPE keyboard technology, a modulation matrix deep enough to warrant its own expedition map and build quality that includes black walnut wood and a premium aluminum exterior, this is an instrument that earns its place in any professional studio or live rig. If you're ready to stop compromising on expressiveness, sound design depth, or just sheer analog character — the PolyBrute 12 is ready to make its case.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PolyBrute 12 is built for musicians and sound designers who want deep, expressive analog synthesis in both live performance and studio settings. Its 12-voice architecture, MPE keyboard, and extensive modulation capabilities make it ideal for complex, evolving soundscapes, polyphonic sequences, and expressive live playing.
Full Touch® MPE tracks the position, pressure, and touch of each key independently across the full range of key movement, enabling polyphonic aftertouch and per-note expression. This means each note in a chord can be modulated separately in real time, giving you a level of expressive control that standard keyboards simply don't offer.
The PolyBrute 12 expands on its predecessor with a doubled 12-voice polyphonic architecture, upgraded Full Touch® MPE keyboard technology, and a revamped factory library with 480 presets across 768 preset slots. It represents a significant step forward in both playability and sound design capability.
Yes, PolyBrute Connect provides a real-time, like-for-like VST editor that mirrors the hardware, allowing you to control parameters, manage patches, and import sound banks directly from your computer. It also supports MIDI and USB interfacing for full DAW compatibility.
It's got enough depth to keep seasoned synth nerds busy for years, but don't let that scare you off. The direct panel layout means what you see is what you get without diving through endless menus. And with 480 presets ready to go, you can make it sound incredible before you even know what a filter cutoff does.
