  • The Drumbrute Impact is a Polyrhythmic Monster!
    Today we're diving into the Drumbrute Impact, and the first thing I've discovered is what a polyrhythmic monster it is! The sequencer is pretty incredible, and combined with how it handles randomness, the potential for polyrhythmic jams is pretty much endless! Let me know what you if you have any tips or suggestions for me on the Impact, I'm pretty impressed with it so far! Enjoy the video :)

    The step-repeat, randomisation, glitching fx and the distortion!!! For that price was mental...
    and not only could you set a mastertempo across all patterns and enable the switch of patterns mid sequence juggling between all of them at will!!
    but you could also set the individual drums to trigger their own polyrythms!!
    Not to mention using the FM drum parameters in comination with the long decay of the kick to create some savage bass crunch!!
    Best drum sequencer in the low price range and probably beats most of the medium range too!!! Hahaha

    We should clarify what was traditionally called "polyrhythm" vs. poly meter. This demo is really poly meter. Polyrhythm is when different pulses occur over the SAME time period, for example "three against two" or "five against four".

  • @MykCypher

    Polymeter vs polyrhythm. Polymeters are when you have multiple sequences of different lengths playing over the same grid/subdivisions where they only restart at the first common multiple, i.e. one sequence that's 3 beats long and one sequence that's 4 will only simultaneously start again 12 beats later. Polyrhythms are when you have multiple sequences that are the same length but subdivided differently, i.e. both sequences are 12 seconds long but one is divided into 5 equal parts (a note every 2.4 seconds) and the other 4 equal parts (a note every 3 seconds).

    Always interesting to here your take on kit particularly drums, out of interest have you had an LXR or Drumlogue through your hands yet? I am still fettling my setup at the moment, I have a Deluge and Minilogue XD module, loads of fun and to be honest I have only skimmed the surface with them... I have one eye on drum machines but really should be looking at patchbays... Top content as ever, thanks. Alll best from Yorkshire UK 🖖🎶💯

    Hey man - have you noticed any discrepancy with the kick sound? Beat to beat, triggering it numerous times in a row, the “attack” changes on mine. I’ve read about others experiencing this and am curious if you have as well.

    • @dyscotopia
      @dyscotopia 3 месяца назад

      This is the joy of analogue gear and why people buy it. It feels alive because it never quite sounds the same. But I've never noticed my kick changing so drastically by itself that it's distracting

    Hi, Im not sure if my logic got it wrong but if you randomize everything the polyrhytm feature becomes irrelevant?! I see the polyrhythms useable for changing predictable rhythm. Nice video though

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  Год назад +2

      The Impact seems to actually contextualize the random placement of notes based on what is already there! So normally you'd be right, but it's a bit different with the Impact :)

      ​@@FreeBeatthe random encoder impacts three things: the rhythmic pattern, the status of note events (step on/off), and the velocity of note events (accent on/off).
      The random encoder has a range of 0-100%, with 0 having no effect on the music. But at 100% the rhythm, velocity and even existence of note data within the pattern will be entirely random.
      I'm not sure what you mean by contextualize?

      @FreeBeat  Год назад +1

      Yeah if you don't have any musical experience it can be kind of difficult. Try some really basic ones, like having your kick on beat one in a measure of 3, and your snare drum on beats 2 and 4 in a measure of 4 :)

    Did Arturia really label it wrong? Polyrhythm? It still is polyMETRIC, not polyRHYTHMIC, the latter is a totally different story.

    • @FreeBeat
      @FreeBeat  Год назад +5

      Yeah I kind of thought that was weird too. Although if you want to get super technical, polyrhythm vs polymeter is down to how music is notated, and since this only uses a sequencer instead of proper sheet music notation, it's not...entirely wrong I guess? Yeah I'm not really sure why they didn't just call it polymeter haha.
