Arturia DrumBrute Impact Analog Drum Machine

DrumBrute Impact: A drum machine with attitude, an addictively fun, instantly satisfying beat maker with a beefy, unique sound. Putting the focus on “Brute,” DrumBrute Impact features 10 high-energy, refined, punchy analog sounds. You can also use the exclusive “Color” sound-shapers to introduce unique per-instrument effects for some variation. Boost the harmonic content, add some drive, snap, or crack at the touch of a button, you can even automate tonal changes by creating a “Color” sequence. If you want your drums to push even harder, use the built-in distortion on the output for some drum-optimized crunch. DrumBrute Impact is a drum machine for musicians and producers who crave raw power and monstrous tone. From its hard-wearing pads to its raucous-driven sound palette, its compact form to its quick-to-master sequencer, DrumBrute Impact has been designed from the ground up by passionate musicians for passionate musicians. Sharing the same prize-fighting sequencing architecture found in the original DrumBrute, you’ll love the simple, fun, and intuitive sequencer in DrumBrute Impact. Whether you want to create complex, phasing polyrhythms or straight, pounding rhythms; record a finger-drumming performance; punch in a step-sequenced masterpiece; DrumBrute Impact beats to your rhythm. 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. Connect to your other gear, sync up, and make some music the old-school way. Get away from computer screens, say goodbye to sub-menus, and jump into the world of tactile, instant, analog satisfaction. 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. Mix on the fly with dedicated controls for every function, multitrack, record, and effect, and mix the sound your way with multiple bus outputs. Save patterns that you love, chain them together, and create full songs and live sets, all without looking at a single screen. DrumBrute Impact is a massive sounding, creativity-fueling beast, with effortless workflow and amazing performance controls. The swing feature can add a groovy feel to everything at once, or for individual instruments by selecting the “Current Track” button on the drum sound you want to apply it to. For when you want something, but aren’t sure and don’t really mind what, the Randomness knob lets you dial in random hits. Like Swing, this can be applied globally or just for individual instruments. Should you wish to go unquantized, DrumBrute Impact lets you preserve the natural feel of your pad performances. Lose yourself in an endless, evolving sequence by using DrumBrute Impact’s polyrhythm feature. This lets you assign different pattern lengths for each instrument, creating an effect of perpetual motion. This cool feature lets you subdivide a step in 2, 3 or 4 sub-steps, allowing to breathe life into your fills without changing overall resolution for your patterns. Drawing inspiration from classic vintage drum machines, we also added an accent feature which gives certain hits additional emphasis, giving your pattern a more dynamic feel. The roller allows you to accelerate the creation of your pattern by repeating a sound at a given interval (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32) to fill certain step of your pattern. These instruments create sound by controlling and manipulating electricity. The Brute range lets you shape electricity into audio signals, with every component adding its own flavor to the tone. Every one of these synthesizers has unique features that make them truly irreplaceable: Steiner-Parker filters, master bus distortion, Brute Factor feedback, and rewirable architecture. No drop-down menus, no hidden options, these instruments are all about the tactile, instinctive experience of playing; letting the signal go straight from your brain to the speaker. Arturia was born to allow everyone to make music. We create instruments and effects that encourage musical discovery, reward curiosity, and savor the artistic process. We’re an international team of passionate people, on a mission to navigate uncharted sonic territory in the name of creative empowerment. We provide musicians with an inspiring sonic experience that's instantly accessible, exploratory, and thrilling. Arturia’s heritage over the last twenty years has been to provide the best vintage sound combined with modern production capabilities. We want to offer the most intuitive music-making experiences helping everyone explore and create their own sound. It all started when two engineering students, Frédéric Brun and Gilles Pommereuil, met at Grenoble Institute of Technology. They saw music and sound as a universe full of creative possibilities, waiting to be explored. So they set off in pursuit of inspiration, founding Arturia in 1999.
