If you’re looking for powerhouse analog drums for your beats and songs, look no further than DrumBrute, the new 100% analog drum machine from Arturia. Loaded with features and killer sounds, DrumBrute adds the rhythm to Arturia’s popular analog Brute family, joining MicroBrute, MiniBrute, and MatrixBrute.
DrumBrute contains 17 fully analog drum and percussion instruments, including two kicks, snare, clap, open & closed hats, high & low toms and conga, maracas, rimshot, clave, tambourine, zap, cymbal, and even a reverse cymbal. A classic dual-mode Steiner-Parker Filter allows frequency sweeps and bass drops, plus every drum sound can be shaped with multiple parameters to create exactly the kit you want.
Sixty-four sequences of up to 64 steps each can be chained together in song mode; 16 songs can be in memory simultaneously. Sequences can be recorded in either step time or as a real-time performance. Each drum track can have its own length, and polyrhythms are supported. Every parameter and feature has a dedicated button, knob, or pad, making the DrumBrute super user friendly and intuitive both onstage and in the studio. Swing, random, Step Repeat, Roller, Looper, and separate accent per drum functions can be used to add life and variety to beats.
DrumBrute can sync via MIDI (USB or DIN jacks), clock, 1PPS, 2PPQ, DIN24, and DIN48, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with the rest of your rig. 12 outputs allow multitracking and individually processing instruments, plus you get both 3.5mm and 1/4″ headphone jacks — no adapter required!
