Drumbrute Impact 1984
Defiant analogue sound
A limited-edition analogue drum machine that fuses a timeless look with a beefy, Brute-powered sound. With per-voice colour controls, built-in analogue distortion, and polyrhythmic sequencing - craft raw, punchy rhythms with ease.
Unleash the rebel within
The same powerful 10-voice analogue drum machine, reimagined in an iconic off-white finish. DrumBrute Impact 1984 merges in-your-face analogue percussion with a polyrhythmic 64-step sequencer and modern-sounding appointments in a compact, instantly satisfying beat-making machine.
Punch it in
Perform beats on the fly with 8 responsive pads. Finger-drum live or record in real-time. Improvise over existing sequences or record your jam as you go. Switch banks while playing, quickly mute or solo channels, and watch the pads light up with every triggered sound.
Hook it up
Thanks to DrumBrute Impact 1984's advanced I / O, you can produce and perform your own way - sync up with your entire hardware rig and let the analogue mayhem commence.
