What it does
Impact is a drum machine where every pad is a small synth. Start from one of the thirty genre kits, or build a kick, a snare or a glitch from nothing, draw how it hits, and play the sixteen pads from your controller or the screen.
Build every drum
Each pad has two layers, each Tonal, Noise, FM, Wavetable or Sample. A sine and a pitch drop for a kick, metallic noise for hats, FM for rims and bells, a random wavetable for something nobody has heard.
Draw the hit
Each layer's volume is a shape you draw, and four more drawn envelopes per pad move pitches, filters and FM through the pad's own matrix. Percussion shapes are ready in the menu, from Punch and 808 Decay to rolls and Bouncing Ball.
Drive and filter
Overdrive, Distortion or Fuzz at twice the sample rate, then any of fourteen filter types, per pad.
Mix it like a kit
Level, pan, tune, decay, velocity, mute and choke groups per pad, all automatable. Each pad plays through the effect chain or straight out, with four sends for reverbs and delays used as send effects.
Roll the dice
RANDOM builds a new drum from the engines a pad has, and every pad's sound can be copied, pasted and saved for any pad and any kit.
Thirty kits
Six kits each for drum and bass, dubstep, glitch, IDM and techno, plus the default kit.
