Technical details and features

The DrumBrute Impact 1984 is a real powerhouse that impresses with its technical specifications. The drum machine offers a total of 10 analog sounds, including kick, two snares, toms, hi-hats, cowbell, cymbal and an FM voice.

Whether you want to amplify the kick, emphasize snares or make hi-hats more present - the possibilities are almost unlimited.

Up to 64 patterns can be created with the powerful 64-step sequencer. Thanks to polyrhythmics, individual pattern lengths can be defined for each instrument, providing exceptional rhythmic flexibility. In addition, functions such as step repeat, pattern looper and roller are available to create dynamic fills and transitions.

Another highlight is the integrated output distortion, which gives your sound the desired amount of roughness and power. Whether you prefer rich distortion or clear, pure analog sound - the DrumBrute Impact 1984 has the right setting for every taste. Four separate group outputs allow individual processing of kick, snares, hi-hats and FM sounds, while a 3.5 mm headphone output provides discrete monitoring.
