Built like a tank except for the atrocious keybed Arturia keeps using - if they’d use the same Fatar as Sequential, Moog, etc., it would feel much better and worthy of that synth.

I liked it a lot very innovative and capable of some really cool stuff. I'd like to get my hands on a Super 6 but the Polybrute is more than enough for me until I strike it rich.Īdmitted synth junkie here got one a few months back. It depends on what you are valuing in the synth. I'd hate to recommend something this expensive and have a person not like it. The 2.0 firmware added a lot of features as well.īut if you are just looking for more classic sounds there are a lot of options to choose from. The arp/seq are super deeps as well and there are great effects. I haven't seen a hardware synth that does things that I don't think I've seen in software synths before, like the 2 distinct presets and the morph between them. The sound design capabilities of this synth are mind blowing. Every modern synth should have an app like this. I mostly just play live on the synth itself, but it is really nice to be able to play midi, or run midi through the app and have the synth play it back and record it. One of the great things about the app is you can play the synth using a midi keyboard and you can edit the midi and then play it back through the synth. It's nice because you can see the correct setting for each knob on presets.

It has a vst plugin that shows all of the controls on the synth and it updates in real time. The software integration is really great as well.

It sounds great for more classic stuff as well. The modulation capabilities and the morphing between 2 distinct presets is very interesting. I think it will definitely be thought of as a classic in the future.
