The Arturia DrumBrute Impact is a drum machine which produces huge unique sounds. It's addictively fun and easy to use with a straight forward interface for making super fat beats on the fly. DrumBrute Impact combines hard-hitting analog sounds, a monstrous output distortion, amazing performance controls, superb connectivity, and a powerful sequencer. A compact beast.
Aggressive analog sounds
Putting the focus on “Brute”, DrumBrute Impact features 10 high-energy, refined, punchy analog sounds. It uses “Color” sound-shapers to introduce unique, per-instrument effects for some tonal variation. Boost the harmonic content, add some drive, snap, or crack at the touch of a button, or create automated changes by creating a “Color” sequence. If you want your drums to push even harder, there’s a built-in distortion with drum-optimized crunch. DrumBrute Impact is a drum
machine for musicians and producers who crave raw power and awesome tone, complementing its cleaner sounding brother: DrumBrute.
Instinctive sequencing
Sharing the same prize-winning, prize-fighting sequencing architecture of the original DrumBrute, you’ll love the simple, fun, and intuitive sequencer in DrumBrute Impact. Create complex phasing polyrhythms and straight, pounding rhythms; record a finger-drumming performance; punch in a step-sequenced masterpiece; everything is a joy. Use the touch strip to create some real-time glitchy, beat-repeat breakdowns, spice up a single instrument or your whole pattern with a dedicated ‘Random’ knob, and add some syncopation and groove with the ‘Swing’ feature.
Addictive hands-on fun
Get away from computer screens, say goodbye to sub-menus, and jump into the world of tactile satisfaction. Connect to your other gear, sync up, and make some music the old-school way. Featuring a huge array of sync and connectivity options, you’ll be able to hook up and jam with practically any other synth, sequencer, or MIDI-enabled instrument.
