Analog Drum Machine Sequencer Arturia DrumBrute

An alternative option is available for sale: Drum Machine Sequencer Arturia DrumBrute Impact

DrumBrute is an analog sequencer and drum machine developed by Arturia. The basic principle of this sequencer is the ability to program and control the playback of rhythmic patterns to create unique drum sounds.

The sequencer allows you to define time points for various drum instruments (bass drum, snare, hi-hat and others) in time scales. You can program rhythms by setting notes and their lengths in the appropriate cells of the sequence.

Using the controls on the control panel, you can set parameters such as tempo, volume, pitch and more to create the desired sound. This makes DrumBrute Impact a powerful tool for creating a variety of rhythmic compositions and drum patterns in electronic music.

Taking roots on the long-standing history of classic drum machines it builds on the look and sound of the ‘Brute’ franchise. DrumBrute offers seventeen true analog sounds, unique performance effects, modern step sequencer, ease of use, and great connectivity.

For the last five years we’ve constantly been asking the dealers which product they expected from Arturia. The very most frequent answer has always been: “an analog drum machine”. They asked, we listened: a new analog classic is born! We hope you’re as excited as we are!

Sound

The sound of DrumBrute is based on the best of the best classic analog drum sounds. Sound profiles were created from the past but then the circuits were designed to build up DrumBrute’s own sound signature. Two styles of kick drums, wide ranging snare and clap setting, two hi hats with tone and separate decay times, reverse cymbal, zap and more. DrumBrute offers a wider sound palette than any other analog drum machine bellow 1500€/$.
