2 DRUMBRUTE OVERVIEW
2.1 Making the connections
DrumBrute provides many ways to connect with other types of equipment, from vintage
to modern. Below are examples of potential setups:
2.1.1 …with a computer
DrumBrute is more than a classic drum machine: it’s also a USB class-compliant device.
So at its most basic level it can be connected to any computer with a USB port, and its
pads can used as input devices for various applications. The included MIDI Control
Center software allows you to specify which MIDI notes and commands will be
transmitted by the pads and transport buttons, respectively.
DrumBrute does not draw its power from the USB port on your computer. To
supply power to the DrumBrute, simply connect the included DC power adapter to
the DrumBrute and to an external power source, then set the power switch on the
back of the DrumBrute to the On position.
