Arturia - Pack PolyBrute 12 + Stand Bois Keylab 88 mkII
Get ready for a sound slap with the Arturia PolyBrute 12 pack and its sublime solid wood stand, which push back the limits of analogue synthesis. Twelve voices of polyphony, legendary filters, ultra-sensitive FullTouch MPE keyboard, touch-sensitive Morphée... It's all there for you to compose, experiment and play without brakes. Add a 64-step sequencer, digital effects and a wildly expressive sound, and you've got a creative monster made for the stage and the studio. A machine just waiting to come to life under your fingers. Click, and the journey begins.
Composition of the package
Presentation
With its two assertive analogue oscillators, enhanced by a modular noise generator, the PolyBrute 12 opens up a vast acoustic palette. The integrated mixer allows sources to be finely balanced before being routed to two legendary filters: the multi-mode Steiner-Parker and the 24dB low-pass Ladder with saturation. As a bonus, an FM filter provides unexpected modulations via oscillators or noise.
This synth is an ideas machine. Its 12 x 32 modulation matrix, capable of handling 64 connections, stimulates creativity. Three LFOs, three envelopes and a 64-step polyphonic sequencer are barely enough to channel the potential of the Motion Recorder and Morphée XYZ - the three-dimensional touchpad that transforms expressive control into sound choreography.
Where the PolyBrute 12 surprises is in the balance between digital and analogue. Three integrated digital effects slots shape spatial ambiences or sharpen audio in the mix. A fluid OLED screen, 768 memory locations and a reworked bank of 480 factory presets complete the package. For those who like to tinker, PolyBrute Connect, Companion and MIDI Control Center are included.
In terms of ergonomics, Arturia has hit the nail on the head. The FullTouch keyboard captures every nuance, thanks to full support for the MPE protocol. The touchscreen, spaced-apart pots and intuitive buttons let you sculpt the timbre in real time. Whether you're in the studio, on stage or in a home setup, the connectivity is complete: stereo outputs, headphones, expression pedals, MIDI Thru, USB-B and Sync in/out ports.
The included solid ash stand provides stability and playing comfort, while enhancing the instrument's visual impact. Carefully crafted, it combines Scandinavian aesthetics with rock-solid sturdiness. Once installed, the ensemble inspires as much as it imposes.
This pack is aimed at seasoned musicians, sound designers, composers for the image or stage artists looking for an inspiring nerve centre. It will also appeal to those who want to take a step forward with a top-of-the-range synth. At home, it becomes a source of exploration. In the studio, it's a beast of texture. On stage, it shines as brightly as you do.
