The built-in advanced step sequencer is one of the most important aspects of DrumBrute. The focus on workflow was taken to the extreme: 16 highly reactive step buttons so you never miss a beat: individual & global swing parameters to add feel: randomness controls that transform your pattern from unpredictable to completely chaotic... all with a simple and intuitive interface.Based on the award-winning BeatStep Pro sequencer, this 64-step sequencer goes even further by implementing exciting new features.Swing
The swing feature shifts one step over two which is perfect for getting a groovy feel. This parameter can be applied separately for each instrument or globally.Randomness
The Randomness factor, that can be individual or global, can transform your pattern from unpredictable to completely chaotic by giving to each step a certain probability to be played or shut.Unquantized Recording
The DrumBrute step sequencer allows you to record without quantization. By responding to the exact timing of your performance, you get more organic results.Step Repeat
Focus on the hi-hat pattern to hear the powerful fills you can create with this feature. The exclusive step repeat feature lets you subdivide a step in 2, 3 or 4 sub-steps, allowing to breathe life into your fills without changing overall resolution for your patterns.Accents
Drawing inspiration from classic vintage drum machines, Arturia added an accent feature which gives certain hits additional emphasis, giving your pattern a more dynamic feel.Roller
The roller allows you to accelerate the creation of your pattern by repeating a sound at a given interval (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32) to fill certain step of your pattern.Let's take a closer look at what DrumBrute has to offer...17 Pure Analogue Drum Sounds
