Arturia DrumBrute Impact Noir Edition

Arturia DrumBrute Impact Noir Edition

Analog Drum Machine with Step Sequencer – Noir Edition

DrumBrute Impact was born on the basis of the very successful project of the French house DrumBrute, even if in this case the engineers of Arturia have designed a very different instrument than its predecessor.

With the Impact version you have a real new sound-set always with entirely analog sounds complete with adjustable decay, pitch and snap parameters.
The panel has been designed to be intuitive and usable to perfection both in the studio and in live performance, with well-made rotary tables that guarantee reliability and maximum control.

To increase the harmonic content and give more character to the sound, the exclusive “Color ” function has been added. This unique DrumBrute Impact feature can be turned on for each individual instrument, or per step, providing a new level of tonal control. You can use the touch strip to create glitches and step repeats in real time, animate a single instrument or the entire pattern with the dedicated ‘Random ‘ knob and add variations to the groove with the “Swing ” function.

Whether you want to create complex sequential polyrhythms, straight and pounding rhythms or record a finger-drumming performance, the Drumbrute Impact will make the experience unique and fun. With a wide range of sync and connectivity options, you can connect and play with virtually any other instrument. DrumBrute Impact is a drum machine for musicians and producers who seek uncompromising power, control, connectivity and reliability.
