Arturia PolyBrute 12 is a 12-voice analog morphing synthesizer with the FullTouch keybed for continuous per-note expression, dual filters per voice, A/B morphing, the Morphée controller, stereo outputs, MIDI in/out/thru and three pedal inputs.

- Dual-filter voices: ladder and Steiner-Parker per voice, series or parallel
- Stage-ready: wooden legs available separately for a standing setup
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FullTouch keybed?
A keybed that senses the full travel of each key continuously, so pressure and depth become per-note modulation sources without a separate MPE controller.
How many voices does it have?
Twelve analog voices, versus six on the original PolyBrute.
What connections does it have?
Stereo 1/4-inch outs, headphone out, MIDI in/out/thru, USB, and three pedal inputs.
Does it work with the Arturia wooden legs?
Yes. The Arturia Wooden Legs stand supports PolyBrute 12, KeyLab 88 and AstroLab.
