Keyboard (the default view):
This tab contains :
- Expression controls: Morphée, Ribbon, Pitch Wheel and ModWheel.
- Expression parameters: Aftertouch Mode, Bend Mode and the Bend Range.
- Split Point Bar : Drag the bar back and forth to set the split point for a split Preset.
Matrix view:
This is where you will find the Modulation Matrix which allows you to edit and create all the desired modulations:
Preset settings:
You will find in this tab all the parameters that are preset specific. It means that these parameters are saved on a per preset basis.
Loading another preset will load the parameters associated to the currently selected preset.
Global settings:
It contains all the global settings of your PolyBrute. It means that these settings are kept even when you change presets.
Yes, PolyBrute Connect controls most parameters of your PolyBrute synthesizer remotely with the help of a bi-directional communication:
- Adjust a control on the PolyBrute, and its twin onscreen moves the same amount.
- Adjust a control onscreen, and the PolyBrute's sound and behavior reflects this immediately.
If you modify a preset stored in your unit with the PolyBrute Connect and then save it, it will save the preset stored on your unit.
Yes. In Matrix view, click the arrow button to bring up a full view of the Matrix.
You can create and adjust modulation routings just as you can on the hardware. Click a cell to bring up its amount knob.
Unlike the hardware, they’re always in latch mode, and you have a separate Z-axis strip for the Morphée.
Using PolyBrute Connect is the best way to see what’s going on when you turn the Morph knob.
On each parameter you can see colored dots:
- The Orange dots represent the A value and the Blue ones represent the B value for PolyBrute 12 theme.
- The Blue dots represent the A value and the Green ones represent the B value for the PolyBrute 6 theme.
If you want to see the Morph A <> B in action on your parameters just turn the “Morph” Knob:
As shown above, all the other controls onscreen will Morph between their A and B values.
Yes, and it’s maybe even easier than on the hardware because of the visual feedback.
While editing these values make sure to keep in mind the following:
- A value will be displayed as an Orange dot for PolyBrute 12 Theme and as a Blue dot for PolyBrute 6 theme.
- B value will be displayed as a Blue dot for PolyBrute 12 theme and Green dot for PolyBrute 6 theme.
For a knob:
- Hover the mouse over the “collar” around the knob.
- Left-click then drag to adjust the A value.
- Right-click then drag to adjust the B value.
You may have to move the Morph knob to see both colored dots.
E.G on PolyBrute 6:
For a slider:
- Hover the mouse over the vertical strip to the slider’s right.
- Left-click then drag to adjust the A value.
- Right-click then drag to adjust the B value.
You may have to move the Morph knob to see both colored dots.
E.G on PolyBrute 6:
For a switch:
- Right-click on the button to see its pop-up menu.
- Select “Edit A”.
- Select the option you want in the sub-menu.
- Repeat for “Edit B”.
A pop-up menu button works the same as a switch, but uses a left-click, not a right-click.
That is normal, Morph and Ribbon can have different playing modes that you can retrieve in the “Preset Settings” Tab.
In this tab you will find two parameters under the “Touch Controls” section with different values:
Morphée mode:
- Tap: The Morphée X/Y value takes the position of your mouse click. Releasing your click will set the Morphée X/Y value to 0.
- Hold: The Morphée X/Y value takes the position of your mouse click. Releasing your click will keep the X/Y value to the same place until you click again on the Morphée controller.
- Scan: In this mode ,the Morphée X/Y value will start from 0 position wherever you click and then will follow your mouse movement applying an offset to the Morphée X/Y value. Releasing your click will return to 0 value very fast.
- Hold Scan: The “Hold Scan” mode acts exactly as the “Scan” mode except that, when you release your mouse click, it will keep the X/Y value to the same place until you click again on the Morphée controller.
Ribbon Mode:
- Tap: Act with the same behavior than the Morphée but for Ribbon.
- Hold: Act with the same behavior than the Morphée but for Ribbon.
- Scan: Act with the same behavior than the Morphée but for Ribbon.
- Slow Scan: Act with the same behavior than the “Scan” mode except that when you release your mouse click, the ribbon value will smoothly converge from your current position to the 0 position.
