Easy sound selection and new sound bank
The Nord Drum 3P moves on from its original design, improving
every functional aspect, resulting in a seamless user experience.
The new sound select feature allows you to browse a wide range of
premium-quality drum sounds, which can then be assigned to each pad
individually. Not happy with a certain snare in a sound bank? You
can simply replace the sound with any other from the preset
library.
This is a great feature for customising your kits or creating
new kits from original presets. The new sound bank also features a
wide selection of new high-quality drum sounds. The bank features
10 categories ranging from Kick, Snare Toms And Hi-Hats to Claps,
Effects, Cymbals, Bells and Tuned sounds.
Built-in effects
The Drum 3P also features a selection of power effects including
Distortion, EQ, Repeat and two new Master effects: Reverb and
Delay. The Distortion effect features two configurations, one for a
crunchy overdriven sound, adding an aggressive edge to the original
sound plus a crackling sample-rate reducing Crush effect for a more
digital/robotic sounding effect.
The Distortion effect allows you to edit your sounds on the fly,
dialling in as little or as much as you need, adding a new depth of
versatility to your sound bank. There is also a premium-quality
parametric EQ with selectable band featured on each channel,
allowing you to affect the tone and volume of each frequency band.
The Master effects also feature new additions, Reverb and Delay.
The Reverb function features 7 different room settings for maximum
versatility, allowing you to control the amount of Reverb and the
size of the room it emulates. The Delay effects allow you to dial
in the adjustable feedback amount and also feature a Tap-Tempo mode
for synchronising the delay to your set tempo.
Integrated multipad
Another new feature of the Drum 3P is the integrated multipad.
The multipad is highly responsive, allowing you to play a range of
sounds from a single pad, depending on where you strike it. This
can be highly useful in live performances where a single sound bank
may not hold enough sounds for your needs or for more experimental
performances.
Channel Mixer and MIDI connectivity
The integrated Channel mixer allows you to set the levels for
each channel as well as featuring Pan controls for creating a
fuller stereo image. Additionally, the module features MIDI in/out,
allowing you to use the Nord 3P with your favourite DAW or for
connection to devices such as tablets and iPads. There is a
separate application available for the iPad called 'Nord Beat'
which allows you to sequence the Nord Drum 3P via MIDI.
Sound creation and tone section
The Nord Drum 3P sounds are all synthesised in real-time,
meaning you can edit and play sounds with a unique dynamic
response, whether using sticks or connected to a sequencer. The
Tone Section allows you to create tonal and harmonic sound spectra
featuring three syntheses for maximum control and versatility. The
Resonant Synthesis Mode produces a wide range of complex spectras,
inspired by the more melodic percussive instruments such as
marimba, vibraphones, tines, cymbals and more. Subtractive Mode
produces the classic Sine, Saw, Square and Pulse waveforms, perfect
for creating vintage synth-type drum sounds and effects. Lastly,
the FM Synthesis mode features 6 different FM algorithms as well as
Frequency parameter controls which affect the amount of modulation
and Specta controls for the modulation frequency.
