Arturia Polybrute12 - emotional & downplayed patches - no rock n roll or acid house, but lot of love

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"Seven and a half minuter of me going through a few of my latest patches on the Arturia PolyBrute 12. I have been trying to get into it, by making a few patches every evening, while the family watches tv. And it is weird, I always start with the init patch, which is like the least inspiring init patch I have ever heard. It is just dead. I should really make a new init patch, as I spend a few minutes menu-diving, switching to the same settings every time...

I have a weird relationship with this synth - I don't enjoy working with it very much, but whenever I record it, it just shines in its own grungy way, lofi and vintage way. It just have this wonderful downplayed vintage character (likely because I felt like climbing mountains to get it to sing the way I like it.

Anyway... No talking. Just patches.

The main theme right now seems to be semi-haunting keyboard sounds. It is likely a result of me spending as much time as possible at the moment with DSP development and plugin creation - no time playing the piano. So it is kind of trying to get the same feeling I get when I play piano by myself, but in patches.

No external effects or processing - recorded straight to a Zoom H6 field recorder - so it won't get more true than this.

If you’re here for clean, polite polysynth vibes, this is not that. It never is with me. This is just about feeling, hearts breaking in empty wastelands."

Starsky Carr's Studio: Vintage & Modern Synth Setup Explained

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Welcome to a full synth studio tour — a look inside my hardware setup featuring vintage analog synths, modern wavetable instruments, modular gear and classic drum machines.

See how a mix of vintage synths, modern instruments, modular gear and drum machines all come together in one integrated setup. In this video I walk through the studio, explain how everything is connected, and show some of the instruments that regularly appear on the channel.

The studio is constantly evolving as new synths arrive, others get repaired, and different setups are tested for videos. In this walkthrough you'll see how classic gear like the Juno-60, Prophet series, Minimoog, TR-808, TR-909 and Jupiter synths sit alongside modern instruments such as the UDO Super 8, Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, Waldorf M, Arturia PolyBrute and Roland System-8.

I also explain how everything is routed through the studio — from CV-controlled vintage synths integrated with MIDI, to the AudioFuse interface and Neve summing mixer that handle the audio side of things.

If you've ever wondered how to organise a hardware synth studio, integrate vintage CV instruments with modern DAWs, or just want to see a room full of iconic synths and drum machines, this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the setup behind the channel.

You’ll also hear a few stories along the way — including the slightly ridiculous “six degrees of separation” link from my studio gear to Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon through the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels soundtrack.

Whether you're into analog synthesis, wavetable synths, modular gear, or classic drum machines, this studio tour is packed with gear, ideas and inspiration.

MICROFREAK & PIGMENTS 7 DEMO

video upload by elz production

"Microfreak:
We can think of many reasons to freak over the MicroFreak. Yes, it is small, but it does offer some of the most unique sounds we’ve heard when it comes to budget synths.

If you’re new to the synth world, you really can’t go wrong with this instrument and it’s a great option with which to learn your skills. It’s well-built, comes with plenty of sound options, and the interface is intuitive.

Synths are evolving and growing in power every year. While some of us might love the crispness of an analog synth, as well as their bulky size, we still love the fact that you can have a powerful synth that can fit in a traveling case.

It makes us wonder about what the future holds for Arturia and the budget synth market in general.

Pigments 7:
Arturia have done it again. Pigments has grown in terms of features and become leaner and meaner under the hood, with those CPU and workflow improvements. It retains its place at the top table of software synthesizers, sitting alongside the likes of Omnisphere, Absynth 6 and UVI’s Falcon.

For the MPE enthusiasts amongst you, Pigments further cements its place as a showcase instrument for such endeavours. Pair it up with an Osmose, Rise or even Arturia’s own PolyBrute 12, and Pigments 7 becomes next-level superb.

If I had one quibble, it would be the lack of day-one support for AstroLab. They always seem to be playing catch-up, which will leave AstroLab owners slightly frustrated that they can’t take advantage of these new sounds straight away."

Arturia sound design masterclass | 27 November 2025

video upload by Signal Sounds

"** Note: unfortunately, thanks to a corrupted SD card, we only have clean audio for the first 35 minutes or so of this session - it switches to the backup room mic for the remainder. Apologies for the drop in sound quality, hopefully it doesn't detract too much from the content! **

Our final in-store event of 2025 was a sound design masterclass from Arturia's Tom Lewis, who used a PolyBrute 12 to give a crash course in subtractive analogue synthesis and revealed some tips for creating pads, basses and leads on any polysynth.

PolyBrute 12 is available here:

Luke Million Studio Tour Update July 2025

video upload by Luke Million

"Following the Studio Tour Video I made last November, here is an update with recent acquisitions and changes to my workflow in my Studio.

Some highlights are the Moog Messenger, Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984 Edition, Synido TempoPAD C16, Aly James Lab Vprom 3.0, Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro, Modartt Pianoteq 8 and some Franklin Audio Devices.

The biggest change is in my 2nd Studio where the B Team is kept. I have connected those synths to a Franklin Audio SS-6 Switchable Input Stereo DI which then sends audio to my Universal Audio Volt 476 interface connected to a Macbook Pro Laptop.
