Arturia Drumbrute IMPACT Analog Drum Machine

A sound like no other

DrumBrute Impact’s sounds were designed from the ground up to stand out and get noticed. Each featuring a distinct, unique flavor, with a strong overall “kit” sound that will deliver the punch and power you need.

DrumBrute Impact features 10 discrete drum sounds each with their own independent sequencer track. Hands-on analog controls let you adjust and tweak the sounds on the fly, letting you tailor DrumBrute Impact’s sound for tight, choppy performances. Open up the decay to let the sounds breathe; raise the pitch and tone for crisp, snappy parts or lower them for big, booming power. The choice is yours.

On top of independent volume controls, every drum aside from the cowbell features a selection of unique parameters that vary its tone, pitch, shape, or synth properties. The following audio examples let you hear the range of sound available for each instrument:

Kick

Pounding bass drum with nice attack transients and variable pitch and decay

Snare 1

A big-bodied snare with great, editable snap and decay

Snare 2

A trashy, clap-like snare, with adjustable tone and decay

Tom High

Simple but powerful high tom with sweepable pitch

Tom Low

Pants-shaking low tom that can get so low you could use it as a 2nd kick

Cymbal

Zingy, metallic crash with adjustable decay

Cowbell

A simple but effective percussive cowbell

Closed Hat

Hard-hitting hat with variable tone that also effects the Open Hat

Open Hat

Open up the hat sound with changeable decay with a mute controlled by the Closed Hat

FM Drum

A percussive synth voice with adjustable carrier pitch, decay, FM amount, and mod pitch

Already a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the depth and power of its all-analog sounds, DrumBrute Impact still has a few more tricks up its sleeve…
