Arturia PolyMatrix / PolyBrute coming?

[LDT]

Ouch. Trying really hard not to say anything bad about that demo.

[Voltcontrol]

The demo is certainly on the bright, couldn't detect the harshness (but then again years of DJ'ing have definitely dulled my hearing range). I do like it. Moawrrr demo's are needed!

highly subjective, my friend...I expect more silkyness from a synth like this, so this this bright oscillators and the steiner filter resonance hits my ears badly

My expectation was the same (expansive/round/silky), but that is not to say, I dislike what I'm hearing (which is subjective in and of itself. Mate.

More interested in this than a Behringer CS80

Unlike the BS80, this may actually exist in a working form for sale at some point.

I'm not in the market for another poly, but still, whew, shots fired.

[anselmi]

it can do complex sounds for sure, but so can the Rev2 and offers more voices for less money...and to my years the Rev2 sounds better

anyway, I still preffer the Super 6 as a poly for its audio quality...for me it´s hard to beat and it can do a lot of complex stuff too with a more direct interface

[anselmi]

the one and only Nick with a preview

[LDT]

The morph stuff is really cool. But am I understanding this correctly?: Morph is in bi-timbral mode, right? So that seems to leave us with a whooping three (3) voices. Okaaayyyy.
Somebody must have been thinking “6 voices is practicly like 8 voices, just cheaper.” Only, when the grand innovation (and yes, it is cool) is the bi-timbral morph, then it is about 3 voices vs 4 voices. And that difference is litterally gigantic.

Agreed. This looks really cool.

The morph thing isn't crossfading between voices, it's interpolating all the parameters... so unless I missed something somewhere, no, morphing doesn't restrict polyphony.

yeah, I think this is the way...morphing and bi-timbrality are separate features

[nectarios]

Very nice. 8 voices would have been better, but 6 is better than 4.
I think it sounds really good and the modulation is there.
The morphing seems like instant fun for sound design and going bat shit crazy at the turn of one knob...with some thought between A > B patch, seriously complex and consonant/dissonant tones will jump out.

I don't even like Arturia, but they appear to have struck gold with this one.

[Chopper]

Looks amazing, love the possibilities and Nick sold it very well with some of his patches....
A winner for arturia for sure...
Price??

2.500

As linked before 2500 here, they state 400 off MRSP on their site so that checks out: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... ynthesizer

I’m growing less fond of this thing with every demo I’ve seen so far sonically. Morph is a great feature and do like the matrix + it’s stereo nature.

[Pighood]

So like Hydrasynth and Summit re joined in the polypool by the new kid

[SteeVtheRipper]

6 voices is soooooo 2016

[SteeVtheRipper]

It actually looks like a fun, interactive synth. That morph feature is neat, and the “Morphée” (Touché) controller is an interesting addition. Like the very subtle ribbon. Still there’s something about the sound of Arturia stuff that has held me back from purchasing. After watching reviews I’m not like “omg I need this!!!” All these years later, even with 6 voices, I hear an OB6 and melt. This, not so much. Maybe in person will be different. Summit Peaks my interest more (see what I did there?) and I’m loving my Hydrasynth. Can’t wait to give it a whirl and see.

[Red Electric Rainbow]

yeah and like also a ton of other synths too. so many polys available right now.

[olix]

The PolyBrute seems to sound so good

[loydb]

I'm a little shocked they're pricing it against an OB-6, I would have expected about $500 less.

[droningspaghettimonster]

still cant believe its 6 voices

[berfmurret]

digging the sound!
