Arturia DrumBrute Impact Noir

DrumBrute Impact Noir is a 10-voice analog drum machine with a unique character and easy-to-use sequencer with polyrhythm function. Cleverly designed performance features, an FM drum voice, built-in distortion effect and powerful sound help add punch and depth to your music - all in a sleek black chassis.

Analog punch

DrumBrute Impact Noir puts the focus on the brute factor, giving you 10 powerful, freshly reworked analog sounds with plenty of punch. You can also elicit more sonic variations from each drum instrument using the special color sound shaping. Enrich your sound with harmonic overtones, roughen the signal and give your drum hits that extra punch. A controllable distortion effect is available for the drum sum, which can really put your patterns through the grinder. DrumBrute Impact is the drum machine for musicians and producers who crave truly punchy and convincing drum sounds.

Intuitive sequencer

Adopted from the original DrumBrute, the sequencer has a number of interesting sequencing options that can be used individually for each instrument. Create complex polyrhythms or straightforward, pounding beats. Record your finger drumming performance or program a masterpiece into the built-in step sequencer. Use the touch strip to create drum rolls, fills, and glitch beats in real time. Add random variations to individual instruments or entire patterns with the Random slider, and put the finishing touches on your groove with the Swing function.

Addictive hands-on experience

Get away from the screen and submenus and enjoy the intuitive workflow and haptic feedback of a real instrument. Connect and sync your other instruments thanks to the flexible connectivity options and make music the oldschool way. With multiple sync and connectivity options, you can integrate virtually any other synthesizer, sequencer, or MIDI-enabled instrument for your jams. Save and duplicate your patterns, transform them any way you like, and then assemble entire song arrangements by chaining patterns together. DrumBrute Impact is a true powerhouse, both in the studio and on stage.
