The Drumbrute Impact's sound-engine is a pretty neat analogue sound-engine. But I will explain you why it is the Drumbrute's User Interface, that can make your drums sounding so much more diverse!

This right here sold me on the Impact. Holy lord the mapping and random usage in Ableton like this....lovely.
GREAT HARDWARE ....get the beatstep.. both together shred beats.. 2 thumbs up for arturia
The step repeat function on the drumbrute is absolutely incredible. I love it.
I didn't even watch a review. That at the guitar center alone sold me
Brilliant find. I love the sound skulpting relationship people are finding with their music hardware in these 20s years.
Woah! SWEET! I did not think to use the midi in this way. Maybe I’ll try this with the Model Samples, loaded with interesting loops and one shots. Thanks for sharing! 🎉
Great video and congratulations on getting an Impact. IMO both the Drumbrute Impact and the OG are both under-rated drum machines for what they are capable of. I had the OG and I regret selling it when I needed cash funds. Using the individual outputs and tuning each sound really makes a big difference once you get used to it. I think I'll be on the lookout for a Impact or maybe the OG if I can find a secondhand one
Awesome!!! ❤👾🥁🎛️📡🌌
Great Demo Marc ,Love my Drumbrute 🤩😜❤❤❤jaffa jenkins dawless jams
Wow! This is coool!!!!! 👌👌👌👌
Thanks! 😄
Odd question: I have a keystep 37 and a drumbrute impact. I want to use my keystep 37 to control my drumbrute impact, how can I make this happen or is it possible? Thanks.
But Ableton and M4L has randomizers as MIDI effects which you could use to play your samples from the Amen if i am not mistaken. So what is the benefit of using the external DBI as a midi controller to randomize?
Thanks so much for this awesome contents!
This is exactly the reason why I need a drumbrute impact!
Could you please consider to make some kind of tutorial describing impact-midi process?
Thanks again subscribed for more!
Great suggestion! Can you elaborate further what part of the midi-process I should focus more on?
Tenho o Matrix brute, que máquina!!!
Great beats! Original and instructive video on DBI.
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant! And compared to other drum machines - this one looks like it's relatively easy to use!
It is!
The way you threw your phone away 😂
🤣🤣🤣 people who know me in RL have seen even worse scenes
Arturia has great sequencers. Their Beatstep Pro (maybe the Keystep Pro too?) will also let you do this.
yeah of course a dedicated controller will do what it is designed to do;)
something i cant figure out with the random knob, i know you can set per track, or global, but the problem i cant figure out, you need at least one step enabled on the sequencer, or else it wont trigger on that track. ex- if i dont place one step for the BD on the pattern, the random can be at 99%, and it wont activate the random function on the BD. until you put a step down.
I think by step you mean the several numbers that the random knob displays, correct?
Happy New Year!
can you show us how you maped the brute to the samples in Ableton live, I use fl studio.
Like 5:29I'm remapping the incoming notes to individual notes of the samples. I'm pretty sure you can do the same in FL Studio
How do you set up ableton to be able to interact with drumbrute impact like that? Need to know asap 🙏🏾
The Drumbrute sends its midi. Hence you can record it into Ableton and route it through any drum machine.
@@MarcRenton Hi! In relation with this post, could you explain exactly what do you need (hardware, drumbrute and ableton configuration, etc.) and how do you connect (like midi out from the DB to "X thing" , or the drum rack you've made on the ableton)... I really appreciate it 🙌🙌❤️
just open up a drumset (rack) in Ableton and set the midi in on that channel to the midi out channel of your drum machine (works also with the Behringer RD-9 f.e.) you might need to "switch" around the drum samples to trigger exactly the sounds you want but it is generally already dialed in fairly good. you can of course create your custom drumrack as well in Ableton that you then want to trigger with your machine. that can include whatever samples you want to use. you can of course also make a track for each drum sound and set the midi in the same way as before but you will be able to easily process the sounds with dedicated FX for each sound.
There is a colour-function.
One added sound for each instrument.
Nice man, thanks for making this. I can buy one, the Impact of a Microfreak. If you had nothing, which would you pick?
It's like comparing tomatoes with salad ;-) but IMHO a Microfreak is more versatile from your POV.
Get the Impact to make stomping beats. Get the Freak to make Hypnotic sequences
Isn't there a thing that exist as a effects tool box? If not... why? Got a fair bit of little things that makes fun sounds and they all have various sequencers, delays, reverb, stutter and other effects that change the sound in fun ways but I kinda wish I have a central console that did all those things only. Is there such a thing?
Devious Machines Infiltrator 2, but it's in the box. Plus effectrix and a few others, also plugins. A hardware version would be amazing though!
Would love to have those drum samples from 6:00 onwards…🙃
you can do the same thing with your behringer drum machine. I can just use my RD-9 and load up another drumset in ableton and just play, trigger, and sequence it with the drum machine.
I'm curious, how do you implement the Repeat and based on context-Random knob?
I use the Arturia beatstep pro in the same way. It is a kick-ass sequencer.
Yup, I also liked that sequencer, the randomization always felt musical. Looking to upgrade to an OXI One now, but I'll miss the touch sensitive pads...
@@meilstone I use the cv velocity outs to control all kinds of stuff in my modular setup. being able to sequence in 4 bars of control voltage is incredibly fun.
How are sections of the amen break synched up to the drumbrute and then randomly played in time?
The Drumbrute's interface is generating the ramdom notes, based on its patterns. 1) there is the random know and 2) the step/repeat function is adding additional value. Out of this, the Drumbrute is generating midi-data that I'm mapping to my Amen-sampler
40 unskippable seconds of commercial on yt to see the start of this video :(
Have had it for a couple yrs. Just wish the high hat sounds were tolerable, and that the snare was meatier.
Your phone keeps blowing up i can't concentrate... ahhhh thank you
:D
@3:57 LOL
I can’t believe daw or vst can’t do repeat or random, there got to be a way….dunno
Wait, is your name Giovanni Giorgio??? 😂 that voice, man!
I bought one of these yesterday, partially cos i saw this video ages ago and remembered it & thought, you know! Cool! I intend to start using Ableton live. So yeah.. thanks! 😁🫡
3:16 hoh my gott XD
It got no affects , like Roland's so im still leaning towards tr6s . Sorry .. I have cheap stuff so im going treat myself ( and be skint ) .. and I can mess around on korgs beat and monologue .. with my tro8 boutique .. to get this so im needing sampling capability's as cheap as possible .with modern sounds .. it's still nice but I'm pure hands on also so I wouldn't do it justice .
Use a pedal or any mixers with input effects and it sounds really good
word on the street is, that there is a Zoom stereo multi-effect pedal out there that does not break the bank and can offer a good and usable variety of effects for your synths. (i just looked it up and it is the Zoom MS-CDR70 for around 100euro) maybe you can find a used one... good luck and have fun.
My favorite part is where you blew your own mind and still haven't realized what you actually want is a Tracker. What's even better is you have a pretty decent tracker right by your hand. The Digitakt lol
For me, Renoise and OpenMPT are trackers. The Impact has UI (User Interface)-features that the Digitakt does not provide.
@@MarcRentonso then the UI that you like specifically is the knob for random control and beat repeat touch pad? I have the OG drumbrute that I'm currently changing the voicing for, and I honestly love the drum machine UI, just not the sound.
6:39
Drum and bass where
your getting a phone call...FYI
I don't NEED any piece of gear.
LOL! No, dude, you actually dont need it.
Indeed, you need. You won’t be able to make any music without it 😊
@@MarcRenton haha whatever we tell us to justify our G.A.S. problems.
Hallo Marc! Nice video. Let’s make some real honest musik! lmfao 😅 Keep it up dude!
