Arturia DrumBrute Impact
Overview
The Arturia DrumBrute Impact is an analog drum machine that delivers raw, punchy drum sounds generated by real analog circuitry at a price point that makes hardware analog percussion accessible to bedroom producers and beginning electronic musicians. The DrumBrute Impact features ten individual analog drum voices including kick, snare, hi-hats, cymbal, FM drum, and tom sounds, each generated by dedicated analog circuits that produce the warm, characterful tones that digital emulations strive to replicate. Each voice has a dedicated knob for real-time tone shaping, and the Color parameter on each voice adds distortion, harmonics, or tonal variation that extends the sonic range of each instrument. The sixty-four-step sequencer with polyrhythmic capabilities per track allows complex rhythm patterns with varying step lengths for each voice. The Song mode chains patterns into full arrangements. Individual audio outputs for each voice enable multi-channel mixing and processing in a DAW or on a hardware mixer. The built-in distortion effect adds grit and aggression to the master output. MIDI, USB, and analog clock connectivity integrate the DrumBrute Impact into any studio setup. The compact form factor fits easily on a desktop. The DrumBrute Impact is ideal for producers seeking authentic analog drum sounds at an affordable price. The ten-voice limitation and single sound per voice mean less versatility than sample-based alternatives.
