Loaded with 10 true analog drum sounds and 64-step sequencing
The DrumBrute Drum Machine packs 10 different drum sounds: kick, two snares, high tom/low tom, cymbal/cowbell, closed hi-hat, open hi-hat, and FM percussion. The toms share the same sequencer lane, and you can select between high and low tom with a button press — same goes for the cymbal and cowbell sounds. When it comes to creating your custom sequences, the DrumBrute holds 64 patterns with up to 64 steps each.
Create complex polyrhythms
We’ve tried several drum machines, and many lack polyrhythm capabilities. Each drum track in the Arturia DrumBute Impact may be any duration, letting you build polyrhythms with any drum sounds.
Perform with pattern effects, and chain patterns with Song Mode
The DrumBute Impact offers performance effects like Pattern Looper (for beat repeats) and Step Repeat (for looping glitch effects) that make it a great instrument to improvise with. There’s also a Roller mode for creating drum rolls and buildups. Song Mode allows you to chain patterns together into a longer composition, further expanding your ability to perform with the DrumBute Impact.

Four individual audio outputs
After creating a great drum pattern on your drum machine, the final thing you want to do is record each drum sound onto distinct tracks in your DAW program. Recording grooves as multitrack audio on your computer is easy with the DrumBute Impact’s four audio outputs and master mix output.
Create dynamic grooves with per-track swing, randomness, and accent
Swing and accent are two of the most common ways to add dynamic interest to a drum machine pattern. Accent is available on each track individually, as you’d expect. Swing can be applied to your pattern as a whole, and you can also apply different swing amounts to individual drum tracks if you choose. DrumBute Impact also has a randomness option, perfect for creating a more human feel — you can apply that globally or on a per-track basis too.
