From left to right, there are:
- Stereo 1/4-inch audio outputs
- 3.5mm sync input and output
- Three pedal inputs: two expression and one sustain
- Memory protect switch
- MIDI in, out and thru
- USB-B port
- Standard IEC mains (power) connector
They are +4dBu line-level and unbalanced, intended for a connection to an audio interface, mixer, powered monitor speakers, or combo amp.
To get mono output only, use the left output.

These let the PolyBrute synchronize gate and tempo with non-MIDI devices, using popular analog sync standard from 0 to 5V.
The USB port is used for MIDI, plus two-way communication with the PolyBrute Connect editor-librarian software, including firmware updates. The PolyBrute can be set to send and receive MIDI via the traditional 5-pin DIN ports, the USB port, or both.
Note: The USB connection does not stream audio to and from a computer.

Yes. It can sync to MIDI clock from, say, a DAW, sequencer, drum machine, or other synth. This can happen via the USB or DIN ports.
You can make this setting manually, or it can auto-detect an incoming clock signal and sync up. It can also sync via the analog sync jacks mentioned above.

No, but its siblings the MatrixBrute has tons of it.
You can assign each pedal to different destinations by pressing the Settings button, then numeric button 3 for Expression Control, then 6 or 7 for either pedal.
Seven out of the eight options for each pedal are the same: Master Filter Cutoff; the X, Y, and Z axes of the Morphée controller; the ribbon controller; modulation wheel and Morph. The seventh option is Volume for Exp pedal 1 and Matrix for Exp pedal 2 (Source in the Modulation Matrix).
Yes. You can also reverse the polarity of either expression pedal, so that pressing the pedal further down decreases the value.
Press Settings, then 6 (Keyboard), then 4 (Pedals) to access these settings:

Note: By default, this setting is set to Auto, which automatically detects your pedal polarity on power-up.
When set to On, it prevents any Save operations attempted from the front panel. It also prevents any incoming loading of sounds from the PolyBrute Connect editor-librarian software.
The PolyBrute uses an internal power supply that automatically switches to accommodate international voltages from 100V to 240V AC and 50 to 60Hz. It draws a maximum of 85W.
