Awesome drums made easy
Sharing the same prize-fighting sequencing architecture found in the original DrumBrute, you'll love the simple, fun, and intuitive sequencer in DrumBrute Impact.

Use the touch strip to create some real-time glitchy, beat-repeat breakdowns, spice up a single instrument or your whole pattern with a dedicated 'Random' knob, and add some syncopation and groove with the 'Swing' feature.

Every inch a winner
From its hard-wearing pads to its raucous driven sound palette, its compact form to its quick to master sequencer, DrumBrute Impact has been designed from the ground up by passionate musicians for passionate musicians.
The color of sound
Introducing "Color", DrumBrute Impact's unique sound-shaper that adds another layer of awesome, and gives each sound another performable parameter for you to play with.
Color can be activated per instrument to give a new, exciting tonal variation. Whether it's adding drive to the Kick, altering the tone of the Cymbal, or maxing out the pitch envelope of the FM Drum, activating Color will change the sonic character of your drums in exciting, sometimes unexpected ways.
Drum-optimized distortion
Everyone enjoys getting dirty from time to time, and DrumBrute Impact gives you instant access to a simple, yet devastatingly effective output distortion.
With just a simple "On" switch and a single knob, DrumBrute Impact's distortion circuit will add some grit and drive to your drums. Tailored to percussive sounds, the Distortion knob can be cranked to get things a little "hot under the collar" without losing the all-important power and transient detail of each instrument. Thanks to the natural compression effect that goes hand-in-hand with distortion, the distortion can be used at more subtle settings to add that mix "glue" to bring everything together in a cohesive sonic space.
The distortion circuit drives every sound going through the main output. If you start connecting the individual kick, snares, hats, or FM outputs, those sounds will come out "clean", giving you full control over mixing, multi-tracking, and post-processing.
Punch it in
DrumBrute Impact features 8 responsive, hard-wearing finger-drumming pads that can be used to perform drum sounds and input steps on the fly.
There are multiple ways the pads can be used. For example, you can simply perform the drum sounds, free of any sequence, by just playing the pads. You can also do this while a sequence is playing, letting you improvise on top of a solid rhythm. If you like what you hear, you can hit the Record button, and whatever you play will be recorded into the current sequence, on the correct channels for the drums you were playing. This performance can be either recorded naturally or quantized.
Hook-up heaven
Not only is DrumBrute Impact a fully-fledged, self-contained rhythm powerhouse, it also features a wealth of analog and digital connections to make it shine in any creative setup. Let's take a look around the back...
Customize your experience
Analog sounds with a digital mind, DrumBrute Impact lets you personalize various behaviours and parameters of its sequencer using the Arturia MIDI Control Center. Adjust "behind the scenes" details that help give you the best drum machine experience ever.
Aside from letting you backup, store and recall all patterns, banks and songs, hooking up DrumBrute Impact via USB and using the MCC lets you do a few more complex things. For example, you may wish to switch banks while DrumBrute Impact is playing without selecting a pattern; the MCC lets you do that. You may want to enable ΒΌ triplets on the metronome; MCC lets you do that, too. If you want the Play button to start your sequence from where it left off, rather than restarting it; MCC can do that too. You get the idea.
These "set and forget" changes let you customize and personalize your instrument, making it truly yours, and empowering you to make music you never thought possible.
