The elusive and mysterious PolyBrute Noir has awakened – dare you step into the darkness?
Your expressive dark horse
Create dramatic sonic shifts with a single movement, explore infinite sweet spots between two sonic states, and enjoy new levels of instrument control and musicality that feels like an extension of yourself.
Morph
PolyBrute Noir’s presets exist in two simultaneous states, and the Morph control lets you sweep effortlessly between them. Adjust numerous parameters at once for huge variety within a single preset.
The Morphée controller
An X-Y-Z controller that combines pressure with position for unique multi-axis control over your sound. Assign it to preset morphing, voice controls, sequencing randomization – the choice is yours.
Sound shaping paradise
PolyBrute Noir’s voice is a collision between signature Brute oscillators and dual analog filters for sounds that quickly move between the light and the dark, the familiar and the otherworldly.
The oscillators
Start your voice right with two powerful Brute analog VCOs that generate sawtooth, triangle, and square waves simultaneously, with jagged Metalizer wavefolding, cavernous sub-oscillator, and cross-mod & sync controls right at your fingertips.
The filters
Add color and shape to your timbres with two classic filter designs, configurable in series, parallel, or continuously variable. The first, a Steiner 12db/octave filter with continuous slope type, enhanced with signature Brute Factor feedback; the second, the legendary 24db/octave Ladder filter for that essential low-pass smoothness, supercharged with biting distortion.
