Huge fan. Excellent song writing tool. Love it!

[@moogaudioshorts]

Absolutely! Thx for watching

[@kvmoore1]

There is no mention of how hard that bassdrum hits at full decay. This thing is a SECRET WEAPON!!!! Okay, the secret is out now.

[@moogaudioshorts]

It’s very unique for sure!

[@kvmoore1]

@moogaudioshorts Yeah, I agree 100%

[@Subhumanslug]

I love the Impact for live manipulation. I just wish I could work it into my workflow, which tends to be more on the surgical side.

[@xxheartbrokexx100]

Get a TR-8s then.

[@Subhumanslug]

@Cedric Crow Just picked up a Polyend Tracker.

[@moogaudioshorts]

Tr-6S might be right for you.

[@moogaudioshorts]

Good suggestion

[@moogaudioshorts]

Ouuu enjoy the quirky workflow! 😊

[@augustuprising459]

I love mine, I own several drum machines, but this one stays a mainstay in my writing process

[@moogaudioshorts]

Hell to the yes!

[@tillschroder6992]

I own that thing and I love it

[@moogaudioshorts]

It’s so slick!

[@andrew6889-p5c]

Based on my experience with a ton of their gear, Arturia refuses to suck.

[@moogaudioshorts]

Well said

[@mp-pi2rl]

I think the normal drumbrute does suck! But anyway i'm a huge Arturia fan

[@billyretrogamer]

It was a fun drum machine for me, especially while beginning to learn the world of dawless synth music creation. Just got rid of it fairly recently for another drum machine…

[@moogaudioshorts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lorrenaelliott161]

What did you replace it with - an Elektron unit?

[@billyretrogamer]

@@lorrenaelliott161 I got the nanobox razzmatazz! Sacrificing individual inputs for being able to load samples- including samples of the drumbrute impact, or anything else I wanna use was the deciding factor…

[@gelatinous6915]

I think you forgot to mention that it's analog. I also love the audio going through a speaker and being picked up by a fucking microphone. Sounds great.

[@moogaudioshorts]

🤔

[@avace917]

I've heard so many mixed reviews about this. I'm currently 100% in the box, but I'm considering making a hybrid setup and adding a drum machine besides my MPC. This might fit the bill

[@moogaudioshorts]

Yes! Just remember that the sounds you get with the Drumbrute are the ones you’re stuck with so make sure you like them!

[@avace917]

@@moogaudioshorts right. Now it's a matter of trying it out somewhere. Sam Ash in NYC just closed and last time I went to Guitar Center, they barely had any equipment out and not everything they had out was on

[@avace917]

@@moogaudioshorts and thank you. Valid point

[@dustinhodell]

Ive spend the last year regretting that i sold mine

[@moogaudioshorts]

😅

[@tillschroder6992]

Same! So I bought it again 😂

[@richardlynneweisgerber2552]

too funny after an all-nighter hunting-down what my choices are for receiving my BSP' Gate outsa, the light was off and it read, "Drill" in front of the first sentence. Holy Crap, I guess the unit is off my list if I have to break-out the drill bits to fix it. ;-) "Still" cross-faded into view just before my autopilot scroll thumb moved on. This unit is in the top three, with an asterisk "just DIY the drums"

[@moogaudioshorts]

😏

[@valley_robot]

I was never a fan of analogue drum machines in the first place, I'm not a fan of house music, I'd rather use an Mpc and make my own kits from samples

[@moogaudioshorts]

That’s another way of doing it for sure!

[@InternecivusRaptus]

Should go really well my beatstep pro. I’m getting one asap!

[@moogaudioshorts]

Yesss!!

[@Drugula88]

Can you talk about uno drum?

[@moogaudioshorts]

Noted

[@DickTracy420]

That’s 4 dedicated outs is definitely a selling point for me. I currently have an mpc5000 which i love the workflow being a sampler of course I have to bring all my sounds in. I want to get an analog drum machine and was looking at the tr08 then I seen this. Everyone uses 808 so it’s nice to see something a little different. A hundred bucks cheaper too. Definitely gonna look more into this thanks

[@moogaudioshorts]

Yes! Glad to help

[@jpereid]

CAn I use these on stage?

[@moogaudioshorts]

Absolutely!

[@infn8loopmusic]

DAW 🤣 nah. Record to a portable as a single WAV and run one or two mastering filters in Audacity 👍😃

[@moogaudioshorts]

Yeah that too if you want

[@Mr.Marbles]

Nah, record onto a cheap 80s cassette recorder. Watch out, you will grow a beard, hate meat and get an increased thirst for soy latte tho 🌝

[@lorensteele2962]

Like the short review, but this analog drum machine was released.. 3? Years ago… ‘analog classic’ 🤔

[@moogaudioshorts]

5 years ago. It’s been a very popular drum machine since it’s release, hence the term “analog classic”

[@lorensteele2962]

@@moogaudioshortsthx you covered alot about it in a short amount of time

[@inf0tr8r]

sounds so good we had to talk over it completely, drowning it right out so it sounds like a muffled turd

[@xxheartbrokexx100]

No, that’s how most arturia always sounds, they have good sequencers and the matrixbrute, everything else is low tier budget crap like this, far from an analog classic.

[@moogaudioshorts]

Moog Audio: Post a description / quick review. Audience: “we can’t hear anything” Moog Audio: Post a “no talking” video Audience: “Yeah, but explain what it does” 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

[@moogaudioshorts]

It’s a very popular drum machine that’s been around for years now and it’s Analog- hence the term “analog classic”

[@morten1]

The machine itself is awesome for creativity. The sounds are not. So I hope they come with an update

[@moogaudioshorts]

😮 this is pretty much it in terms of how it’s going to sound because it’s analog

[@morten1]

@@moogaudioshorts Hm yeah I guess so. But I wish they make a machine like it, just with more sounds to use

[@evilet1111]

It's an analog drum machine... 😅 it's design is what makes it special. 😊 There will be no update.

[@morten1]

​@@evilet1111 Said the horse wagon manufacturer

[@evilet1111]

@morten1 that makes so much sense! Look, maybe you don't understand stuff and that's OK. But here I am trying to educate and you wanna act like a clown. Take care. Keep waiting on that update... in the mean time, hit the books.

[@xxheartbrokexx100]

Analog classic my ass, this is a budget machine.

[@moogaudioshorts]

It’s become a classic drum machine for sure- and it’s Analog- hence the term “analog classic”

[@infn8loopmusic]

Still sounds pretty good though

[@gman1010]

I have this and it’s a great machine

[@reecedeyoung6595]

303 and sh101 were budget instruments

[@PostingCringeOnMain]

The EDP Wasp was a budget, analogue synth that was practically a toy until it wasn't because Duran Duran, 808 State, Vince Clarke and The Stranglers started using them on studio album releases and in live sets. Then you have to acknowledge that the Juno line were the "budget" versions of Jupiters and the TB-303 wasn't exactly a premium product. Don't fall into the elitest "moar expensive is moar better" trap when considering what instruments may or may not become future classics because MicroKorgs currently sell for more than Tritons, despite one being a 20k 'fully professional studio suite flagship' model at launch and the other being purposefully kept affordable for the everyman.

[@gregkeen4907]

Is this the same old bullshit sounds from the last 40 years too?

[@moogaudioshorts]

No the Drumbrute impact actually sounds very unique

[@megahozer13]

It was cool but I hated the hihat and cymbal sounds really fake and electronic sounding

[@xxheartbrokexx100]

You sound fake.

[@moogaudioshorts]

It does have a love / hate sound it seems- which is particular

[@JH-lo9ut]

This is what electronic cymbals sound like on most analog drum machines. When Roland designed the 909 they went through the effort to have the hi-hats be rom samples. That was a big deal back then, a completely new technology. Just a few years later, they made the drum machines completely sample-based, and analog drum machines were a thing of the past... Until the era of analog revival. So, when Arturia releases an analog drum machine in 2020, the point is that it is analog. It would be super weird if they did it like Roland back in the day, and had samples for the hi-hats but nothing else. (Roland did do this with the tr-8, wich has hi-hat samples. The machine can play samples, but it is limited to the "909 hats" and a certain set of 707 and 767 samples that you have to buy from Roland for an additional 100 bucks. Btw, those reissued 909 hi-hats are not the same samples as the original, but instead, Roland managed to dig out the very same old cymbals and made new recordings of them)

[@evilet1111]

2018* , not 2020. Excellent post.@@JH-lo9ut

[@josephwright5140]

A classic? Not even close. A drum machine for KZbinrs 😂😂

[@moogaudioshorts]

Not at all!

[@ramseydoon8277]

Do you play music, Joseph?

[@DickTracy420]

I’ve been looking around for a drum machine to go with my mpc because I like to sample my own drums from different sources and layer them with other sounds to beef them up. Was looking into the volca units which I like but going that route I know I’m going to need multiple units to achieve what I want. I want to be able to jam on a unit and track that into my daw. Think this might be my next choice

[@moogaudioshorts]

Good choice 😊
