Arturia DrumBrute Impact Noir Edition
The Brute line is now in a new, completely black edition - Noir Edition.
DrumBrute Impact’s sounds were designed from the ground up to stand out and get noticed. Each featuring a distinct, unique flavor, with a strong overall “kit” sound that will deliver the punch and power you need.
DrumBrute Impact is a 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.
DrumBrute Impact features 10 discrete drum sounds each with their own independent sequencer track. Hands-on analog controls let you adjust and tweak the sounds on the fly, letting you tailor DrumBrute Impact’s sound for tight, choppy performances. Open up the decay to let the sounds breathe; raise the pitch and tone for crisp, snappy parts or lower them for big, booming power. The choice is yours.
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.
