Providing 17 distinct, fully analog drum and percussion instruments with an intuitive sequencer, massive connectivity, a two-mode Steiner-Parker filter, and dynamic performance controls, DrumBrute will take your beat production to the next level. Create energetic and exciting drum beats with a single, user-friendly device. With its vast sonic potential and smooth workflow, DrumBrute meets and exceeds the expectations of demanding musicians. Bridging the gap between inspiration and technology, DrumBrute offers punchy analog drum sounds, advanced 64 step / 64 pattern sequencing possibilities and ultra-effective performance controls.

Whether for step-sequenced beat making, real-time sound tweaking, or finger drumming performance, DrumBrute sets a new precedent for ergonomics, sequencing, editing, and pure sonic power. DrumBrute will surprise even the most hardcore analog fans, opening up exciting new avenues of sound creation using its heavy kicks, punchy snares, lightning hi-hats, and shimmering cymbals. .

DrumBrute's core is made of seventeen 100%-analog drum and percussion instruments, so whatever drum sound you are looking for, DrumBrute has the solution. Any genre, style, or mood can be created with ease. As it's made of independent modules, the sound triggering circuitry allows for full polyphony, meaning that all the instruments can be used simultaneously for an unrestricted creative experience. Among the 17 drum sounds, you will find re-imagined legends like 808 and 909 kicks, old-school rim, claves and clap, as well as incredibly usable, modern sounds like snappy & aggressive snares, cutting "zap", as well as the first ever analog reverse cymbal sound.

Is there anything more instinctive than tweaking the parameters of an analog instrument? We didn't think so. DrumBrute lets you adjust the tonal quality of each individual drum using 24 parameters, and mix your levels to perfection. Creating your perfect beat is a simple and natural process. Want a chilled, slow-motion atmosphere? Lengthen the decays, lower the pitches and give your kick a lazy sweep. Crave a nasty, cutting beat? Raise the snap level and the pitches, and tighten up the decay.

DrumBrute integrates a remarkable two-mode Steiner-Parker filter which allows you to create really dynamic, interesting effects. The filter can be set to low-pass mode, high-pass mode or bypassed entirely. The cut-off and resonance controls let you get really hands on, giving you huge scope to shape the sound of your drums. Add depth to your beat, emphasize its tone, make it dirty, and animate it with live sweep effects.

The focus on workflow was taken to the extreme: 16 highly reactive step buttons so you never miss a beat; individual & global swing parameters to add feel; randomness controls that transform your pattern from unpredictable to completely chaotic... all with a simple and intuitive interface. Based on our award-winning BeatStep Pro sequencer, this 64-step sequencer goes even further by implementing exciting new features.

DrumBrute offers amazing connectivity options, letting it fit into practically any set-up. Want to process each drum sound individually or record multi-track audio? Use DrumBrute's 12 discrete instrument outputs. Want to synchronize your vintage analogue gear, DAW software, or connect to your bandmate's modular system? DrumBrute features comprehensive MIDI, Clock and USB integration. We've even included both standard sizes of headphone socket so you don't have to waste time looking for adapters.

On stage, performance is paramount. To create powerful, meaningful music you need an instrument that's intuitive and easy to use, an instrument that offers unparalleled ergonomics and highly effective features. This is the principle that led each aspect of DrumBrute's design. Say goodbye to navigating drop-down menus and cycling through screens: DrumBrute puts a dedicated panel for every control, parameter and feature right at your fingertips. Just like a traditional instrument, once you learn your way around, you'll be able to create music with your soul, rather than your brain.
