Arturia DrumBrute Impact Пазовий ящик

Analog Drum Machine with Brute-Sounding Character

The Arturia DrumBrute Impact delivers ten fully analog drum voices paired with a sequencer built for tactile, real-time play. Expect a punchy kick, two snares, toms, cymbal, hats, cowbell, and FM drum—covering the essential palette for modern production without menu-diving.

What Sets the DrumBrute Impact Apart

Modify drive, pitch, filtering, or decay on every voice except cowbell using the Color sound-shaping system. Drum-optimized master distortion can be dialed in or bypassed as needed. If you want to process sounds externally, four group outputs let you route kick, snares, hats, and FM drum out individually.

Ten Analog Voices — Sound Design and Tonal Range

Each drum voice uses a dedicated analog synthesis circuit, creating a consistent sonic identity across genres from hip-hop to indie. The FM drum operates on a two-operator frequency modulation structure.

• Voices: Kick, Snare 1, Snare 2, Tom Hi, Tom Low, Cowbell, Cymbal, Closed Hat, Open Hat, FM Sound — one device with a complete rhythm set
• Color Sound-Shaping — alter drive, pitch, filtering, or decay per instrument or step (excluding cowbell)
• With master distortion and bypass, you can saturate your drums to enhance low-end presence on demand.

Step Sequencing and Performance Tools

Borrowing from the BeatStep lineage, the sequencer supports step-based programming and live recording with eight velocity-sensitive pads. Patterns can reach 64 steps, with flexible track lengths for polyrhythm and variation.

• Pattern Memory: 64 patterns (4 banks of 16), each up to 64 steps — create and store entire live sets
• Song Mode — chain up to 16 patterns into 16 songs for smooth, hands-free performance arrangements
• Performance Tools: Polyrhythm, Swing, Randomness, Pattern Looper, Roller — shape fills, stutters, and evolving patterns using the touch strip

Sync, Outputs, and Studio Integration

Connect seamlessly with MIDI, USB, or analog clock standards (1PPS, 2PPQ, DIN24, DIN48) for compatibility in any studio or live setup. This model can serve as master or slave with vintage sequencers, modular synths, or DAWs.

• Sync: Internal / MIDI / Clock (1PPS, 2PPQ, DIN24, DIN48) plus USB MIDI — ready for integration with hardware and computer rigs
• Outputs — 6.3 mm master out, four group outs (Kick, Snares, Hats, FM), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for routing flexibility
• Dimensions and Weight: 342 x 243 x 57 mm, 1.84 kg — a compact footprint for any desktop

Optimized for Hardware Producers and Live Artists

Designed to suit electronic producers, beat makers, and performers seeking a tactile, screen-free workflow with serious analog weight, the DrumBrute Impact provides immediate hands-on control and expressive tools. Beginners find the interface welcoming and direct; advanced producers make use of the polyrhythm engine and separate outputs for detailed mixing.

Arturia: From Software Classics to Hardware Beasts

Arturia established its reputation as a French developer of acclaimed analog software emulations like the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. This instrument carries that legacy into hardware and sits alongside other Brute family devices such as the original DrumBrute, MicroBrute, and MiniBrute synths. Released in August 2018, the DrumBrute Impact received the Future Music Platinum Award.
