I'm a sound designer and composer. I' have been passionate about synths sinse the late 1970's. I own many synths, mainly analog, all the names from Moog to Kork . Roland to Yamaha and the Arturia Polybrute Noir has rapidly become my favourite synth to date. It is incredibly easy to create classic analog sounds, cinemascapes and wild FX. Modulation of every aspect is easy to do and easy to see how all presets are modulated. The Matrix is, naturally, a large part of this instrument but it's the Morphing capabilities that reall set this beast apart from the rest. Not only do you get two separate 'sounds' per patch but also every sound in between parts A and B. In short, Ithis is a fantastic instrument and it didn't take long for me to really love this synth.
