5. PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
One of Arturia's goals for PolyBrute was to place a wide variety of performance options
at your fingertips, and we are proud of what we have accomplished; there are dozens
of controls and features that respond instantly when inspiration strikes. Some controls are
standard (pitch/mod wheels, channel aftertouch, sustain/expression pedals), and some are
quite unconventional (the ribbon controller, the motion recorder, and Morphée, our triple-axis
controller).
5.1. Wheels
PolyBrute offers a set of pitch bend and modulation wheels. These are often used to liven
up a solo, help with the emulation of acoustic instruments, or to do things other instruments
cannot. The Pitch wheel springs back to the center/zero position, while the Wheel stays
where you put it.
5.1.1. Pitch
The default Pitch wheel range is +/- 2 semitones, but there are seven other ranges available.
Hold [Settings] and move the Pitch wheel to open the Bend Range page. Then use the Assign
buttons to select the range you want. The maximum range is +/- 24 semitones, or 2 octaves.
5.1.2. The Wheel
The mod wheel (i.e., the Wheel) is not just for vibrato anymore. It can control almost
anything via the Mod Matrix: Effects, LFO speed, envelope decay, etc.
It has four options that can be selected instantly using the Wheel button, which is the third
of four buttons located to the right of the Wheel itself. The options are Matrix, Cutoff, Vibrato,
and LFO1 Amp. These are described in the
