Seamlessly morph between sounds within sounds, discover unparalleled multi-axis expression and push analog tones deeper into uncharted darkness. The elusive and mysterious PolyBrute Noir has awakened - dare you enter the darkness?

Create dramatic sonic changes with a single movement, explore the infinite range between two sonic states, and enjoy a new level of instrument control and musicality that feels like an extension of yourself.

• PolyBrute Noir presets exist in two current states, and the Morph control allows you to easily switch between them. Adjust many parameters at once for huge variety within a single preset.
• X-Y-Z controller that combines pressure with position for unique multi-axis sound control. Match it with morphing presets, controlling voices, randomizing sequences - the choice is yours.
• A resurrected basic synthesizer, modernized and conveniently placed above the PolyBrute Noir keyboard. Assign it to your chosen modulation target and effortlessly glide across the sonic spectrum.
• Coupled with a premium velocity/pressure sensitive keyboard, pitch wheel and assignable mod wheel, and foot pedal controller inputs, the PolyBrute Noir is a synth you won't want to take your hands off.

PolyBrute Noir's sound is a collision of Brute's signature oscillators and twin analog filters for sounds that move swiftly between light and dark, familiar and otherworldly.

• Start your sound off right with two powerful Brute Series analog VCOs that generate sawtooth, square and triangle waves simultaneously, with Metalizer jagged wavefolding, a deep sub-oscillator and cross-mod & sync controls right at your fingertips.
• Add color and shape to your tones with two classic filters that you can configure in series, parallel or continuous. The first, a 12db/octave Steiner filter with a continuous slope type, enriched with the characteristic Brute Factor feedback; the second, the legendary 24db/octave Ladder filter for that essential low-pass smoothness, doped with biting distortion.
