PolyBrute Explorations: 36 unique patches for the Arturia PolyBrute
36 of my favorite custom patches for the Arturia PolyBrute. Each patch showcases a unique feature of the PolyBrute. Here you will find lush, complex pads, lofi keys, experimental soundscapes, and classic vintage sounds with a modern twist. Note that these are mostly pad and keys sounds.
All patches have both an A and B sound, and all are ready for performance with aftertouch, mod wheel, ribbon, and morphee Z control programmed. Some of the patches include sequences; these are noted below with an asterisk.
You can hear some of the patches here:
