Arturia DrumBrute Impact

Sehr intuitive Drum Maschine

Großartige Drum Maschine, die sich sehr intuitiv benutze lässt. Die Sounds sind prägnant - insbesondere die FM Drum ist für melodischen Techno sehr cool, dazu kommen individuelle Outputs, wenn man die Sounds in der DAW nachbearbeiten will.

Die Kick ist auch sehr gut, geht mir aber im Vergleich zur z.B. Behringer RD-9 Kick etwas unter.

Gerade live extrem vielseitig und es macht echt Spaß mit dem Gerät zu arbeiten, vor allem zu dem Preis.

Beast

A small size beast for my dawless electronic set up. Don't even need a clock to spread midi and bpm to the rest of devices, quantising everything in a button push! I love it

Cool little machine but...

It is a cheap little machine so don't expect this to cover all your needs, Behringer drum machines cost about the same and offer much more both in terms of sound and versatility.

The sound is good, the kick can sound ok on any type of electronic music, from hip hop to techno it is usable but this drum voice should have had one more parameter to play with e.g. a pitch envelope in order to sculpt the sound even further.

The snare and claps are ok as well, but the biggest letdown are the toms which are almost inaudible, really a missed opportunity which Arturia doesn't seem to care to fix or even aknowledge (I suppose it could be fixed through firmware update) those looking for a drum machine that can do toms should look elsewhere.

The coolest feature here would be the FM drum (which you can sculpt) and polyrythmic options for each voice.

What makes this machine stand out though is it's small size, I use it for hybrid dj sets (synced from traktor) which also serves perfectly as a clock generator for my Octatrack and keystep, syncs perfectly.

The build quality is pretty good, looks durable.

All in all a cool little machine but to pricey considering what is outhere especially from Behringer.

powerful lil analog machine

the impact was purchased to sit next to my Microfreak in a Magma XL Dj case at live shows. Not getting much studio use.

Edge to edge perfect.

The sounds present on this machine are as expected from an analog drum machine; and definitely have their own character. Build quality is fantastic, and supporting software from Arturia is amazing, very concise and user friendly.

Recommend this for a gigging drum machine on a budget.

Total Beast

Super punchy sound with as much warm fuzzy saturation as you want. It's very easy to use - you probably won't look at the manual. Some people might want more control over the sounds but especially considering the price, this thing is great value and a huge amount of fun.
