The Arturia DrumBrute Impact is an all-analog drum machine that delivers hard-hitting, characterful percussion with the hands-on immediacy that made classic drum machines legendary. Ten pure analog voices ? kick, two snares, hi-hats, cymbal, cowbell, toms, and FM percussion ? are generated by real analog circuitry, not samples, giving every hit the punch, warmth, and subtle variation that producers prize. Each voice has dedicated sound-shaping controls, and the exclusive Color feature adds a second tonal character per instrument that can be sequenced for accents and evolution.
At the heart of the Impact is a 64-step sequencer with 64 pattern memories, polyrhythm capability, swing, randomness, and pattern chaining ? deep enough for full song construction, immediate enough for live jamming. A drive circuit on the master output adds anything from gentle saturation to aggressive distortion, and individual outputs for key voices let you process and mix drums separately. MIDI, USB, and analog clock sync lock the Impact to any studio or live rig, making it equally at home in a DAW production or a hardware-only techno set.
True Analog Voices with Color
Every sound in the DrumBrute Impact comes from analog circuits with dedicated tweakable parameters ? pitch, decay, tone, and more. The Color feature transforms each voice's character at the press of a button and can be programmed per-step, effectively doubling the sonic palette and adding dynamic movement to patterns.
A Sequencer Built for Performance
The 64-step sequencer supports per-track polyrhythms, adjustable swing, step repeat, randomization, and song-length pattern chains. The Roller/Looper strip enables instant fills and beat repeats, making live performance expressive and unpredictable in the best way.
