Full Touch MPE: A Keyboard Tailored for Expression

At the heart of the PolyBrute 12 lies its revolutionary Full Touch MPE polyphonic keyboard. This advanced keybed detects the nuances of your playing across the entire key movement range, allowing for seamless polyphonic aftertouch expression. Whether through subtle inflections or powerful dynamics, you'll forge an intimate connection with your sound. Three distinct aftertouch modes let you shape momentum-sensitive envelopes and modulate each note independently for truly limitless sonic possibilities.

    Arturia did a lovely job creating a very useful and powerful poly that sounds good on everything. Super easy to program, excellent software interface, and a great key bed. Highly recommended for pads and ambient texture.
