The "Brute" Spirit in a Compact and Sharp Format
DrumBrute Impact condenses Arturia's analog DNA into a more compact and aggressive drum machine than the original DrumBrute. Designed to deliver immediate energy, it relies on dedicated analog circuits and the "Color" function to push harmonics, snap, and distortion to the core of the sound. It is the little sister with a strong character, ideal for beats that hit hard.For Beatmakers, Live Performers, and Demanding Producers
Whether you are an ambitious beginner or an experienced user, DrumBrute Impact adapts to your workflows. It excels in electro, techno, house, synthwave, hip-hop, lo-fi, ambient, and soundtrack production. In the studio, it quickly chains patterns and complete tracks; on stage, its direct controls and real-time effects invite improvisation without screens or submenus.Technical specifications

Customer reviews
What customers say
Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Customers praised this analog drum machine for its intuitive sequencer and ease of use. "Lots of possibilities" for rhythm creation. Strong kick and FM drum sounds noted. However, shoppers felt some sounds (snare, cymbal) were weak, and many criticized the English-only manual requiring download. Good value and synchronization with other devices.

The sounds of the kick and the FM DRUM are good, the hihat are not bad all the others are really not to my liking... The metronome sound is better...
The sequencer is very intuitive and simple.
The color mode is interesting but it lacks specific settings.
The interface with a computer is good; easy to use and allows for a lot of things.
In conclusion, a good analog drum machine at an attractive price.
I bought it mainly for the sound of the kick earlier than a Jojo mabase 11 or a Vermoa lancet kick (even if with these devices the sound is more advanced) for a few ten euros it's a complete BAR, even if I am not a fan of the machine's other tracks. (The FM drum is good anyway).
That sounds tough and I'm happy with it. It fits well in my set and its lights have a very cool garland effect!Automatically translated

I've only discovered it for a few days.
Overall satisfied.
Only one downside, a notice that is more than famelic.
If you want it complete and in French you have to download and print it, more than 40 pages...Automatically translated
