Raw Analogue Sound

Arturia's Drumbrute Impact boasts the unique tonal signature punch and sizzle of it's distant cousins - the Minibrute 2S and Microbrute, as well as the seamless sequencing architecture of the original Drumbrute. 10 high-energy, refined drum tones provide the foundation of an electronic drum kit for any style of music.

Judge the DrumBrute Impact by its size, do you? And well you should not, for the Arturia's ally is aggressive, full force analogue sound.

'Colour' Tone Shaping

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.

Each drum sound also offers Tone, Decay, Pitch or Level controls (depending on the sound type) so you can craft the perfect sonic palette on the fly.

Polyrhythmic Step Sequencing

Everything from straight forward pounding rhythms to more complex phasing polyrhythms, you’ll enjoy every moment of the step-sequencing thanks to the intuitive controls that removes the obstacles between you and your music.

Other features include the touch strip which allows you to create real-time breakdowns with completely natural sounding inflection.  You can use the “Random” knob to get more of an organic feel to your instrument or the entire pattern or syncopate your groove with the “Swing” function.

Hands-On Tactile Control

Drumbrute Impact contains no sub-menus, touchscreens or anything else that takes you away from physically “feeling” the control you have over your music. The essence of hands-on, old-school beatmaking.

Go Modular

As well as a fun and intuitive Drum Machine, Drumbrute Impact is a serious bit of analogue gear that fits in alongside a modular studio setup with ease. With individual part outputs, 5-Pin MIDI I/O, USB Connectivity and Clock In/Out, you've got the flexibility to hook it up with any other modular synths or send it straight to your DAW for recording. The choice is yours.
