The eagle eyed internet strikes again as Arturia’s secret new product is found plastered all over a Ukrainian music shop website the night before it launches. Rumours of a new something had built up over the week and our friends at Arturia had given us a little sneak behind the curtain, but we were holding off until the official launch. However, the cat is well and truly out of the bag. It’s a drum machine, it’s analogue and it’s called the DrumBrute.
