1. OVERVIEW

1.1. Making the connections

DrumBrute provides many ways to connect with other types of equipment, from vintage to
modern. Below are examples of potential setups:

1.1.1. ...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.
