The ultra compact new Nord Drum 3P features an integrated super responsive multipad and external kick input and weighs under 2 kg (4,1 lbs)!

DELAY AND REVERB EFFECTSNEW

The dandy sounding global Stereo Reverb and Delay effects lets y'all add a whole new dimension to your drum sounds and the result amount is hands adjusted for each drum channel.

SIMPLIFIED Sound SELECTION AND NEW Sound Depository financial institution NEW

The new Pulsate Select feature lets you lot scan a broad selection of swell sounding drums sounds, simply assigned to each pad individually. Easily replace toms, cymbals or kicks in seconds past selecting from our new preset library.

The new Drum Select banks feature 9 categories of great preset sounds that can exist easily assigned to any of the six pads/channels - and is a great starting indicate in rehearsal situations when you need to observe the right sounds in a matter of seconds.

The categories include Bass drums, Snare drums, Toms, Hi-hats, Cymbals, Percussion, Bells, Tuned Percussion and Effects.

Audio Cosmos

The Audio generation takes place in the iii sectionsTone,Noise andClick.

The sounds of the Nord Drum 3P are all synthesized in existent-fourth dimension - allowing you to both sculpt and play sounds with a unique dynamic response, regardless if yous prefer to play with drum sticks or from a sequencer.

Tone Section

The Tone Department is specialized for creating tonal and harmonically complex sound spectras and has four synthesis modes – Resonant synthesis, Subtractive Synthesis, Frequency Modulation and Band Modulation synthesis.

TheResonant synthesis mode offers a broad range of complex spectras inspired past materials like drum heads, marimba, vibraphone, tines and cymbals. A unique feature includes the possibility to tune harmonic spectra.

TheSubtractive Wave types include Sine, Saw, Square, Pulse waveforms and T-Bridge Oscillators and are bright for creating classic synth-type drum sounds and effects.

TheFM Synthesis mode features half dozen different FM algorithms where the Frequency parameter controls modulation amount and Spectra controls modulation frequency.

The Ring Modulationmodefeatures 2 different types of Band Modulation.

Farthermost Dynamic Control

The Nord Drum 3P offers great control over the dynamic response of the harmonic spectras.

When using Resonant synthesis waveforms the upper parts of the harmonic spectra exist controlled with velocity, giving information technology a brighter timbre when played hard.

When using the Subtractive synthesis mode, the Frequency parameter controls the cutting-off frequency of a Low-Laissez passer filter and the Dyn Filter controls how much the filter should respond to velocity .

TheDecay controls the decay of the whole spectra, with a choice of Linear and Exponential decay envelopes. A Dynamic Decay mode lets you set dissimilar Decay lengths for soft and difficult strokes. ThePunch Decay adds more attack to the Tone past giving the fundamental pitch an ultra-fast envelope at the very beginning of the audio.

 TheBend parameter provides a powerful, velocity sensitive pitch envelope. Utilise information technology to create attack-similar effects but also more radical angle sounds that travel up or down when played such equally the sound of a raindrop, tablas or the classic 80'south "pioouw" tom-sound.

Noise Department

The Noise section is all virtually producing racket and is very powerful. Create anything from silky smooth hiss to gritty gravel to requite the Tone office of the sound more than texture.

The Racket can exist sculpted withLow-Pass,High-Laissez passer or Band-Laissez passer filters withCut-Off andResonance controls. Once you've institute the noise of your pick, it can be adjusted to respond dynamically to velocity in the same manner as with the Tone department with the Dyn Filter control.

TheDecay command is only as powerful, with a pick of Linear, Exponential and Gated disuse types. ADynamic Decay mode lets yous set different Disuse lengths for soft and hard strokes.

Combine this with the equally powerful dynamic controls of the Tone Department and information technology won't take long before realizing the potential for creating complex sounds with fascinating textile-similar behaviors!

Click Section

The Click-section is a specialized section for an ultra-short assail to the sound. A wide range of unlike click types are available as well as a level control for finding the sweet spot where the Click merges with the other elements and becomes i coherent sound.

Furnishings

Each of the half-dozen channels of the Nord Drum 3P has its own powerful effects – Drive, EQ and Ring Modulation.

Adding just a bear upon of Drive to your sounds can make a huge difference in terms of realism, while the Sample-Rate reduction is perfect for Lo-fi crackling effects. Ring Modulation tin can be used for slow tremolo-like effects to total atonal mayhem.

A flexible parametric Equalizer with selectable band and corporeality is also available for each channel, brilliant for adding some cease or attitude to your sounds.

The Nord Pulsate 3 features two new Chief Furnishings, Reverb and Delay. The Reverb features 5 room algorithms (Tiled Room, Room, Plate, Stage and Hall) with controls for tonal colour. The Delay upshot features a Tap Tempo-style and adjustable feedback amount. The amount of Reverb and Filibuster can exist set up individually for each of the vi channels of the Nord Drum 3P

Special Features

Edit All

The handy Edit All mode let's y'all edit all vi channels simultaneously, for example reverb, distortion or delay.

Calibration Presets

Tuned Percussion kits can be created instantly by selecting one of the Scale Presets, which include Chord Scales, Pentatonic, Hang Tunings and Hexatonic.

Mute Grouping

The Mute Group gives you the choice to create sounds that can cancel each other out. Simply ane of the members of the grouping can sound at a time, and can exist used for creating a shut/open hi-hat behavior and emulating muting techniques from manus percussion.

Mixer

The Channel Mixer sets the level for each channel and also features a Pan command for creating a lush stereo paradigm. If yous like to send the kick to a separate output, just pan that channel all the style to the left and the other channels to the right.

MIDI

MIDI in/out is also available for using the Nord Drum 3P with whatever kind of MIDI pads or sequence it from an external MIDI Sequencer. All of the Nord Pulsate 3P sound parameters can be controlled via CC-controls over MIDI. If you ain an iPad don't miss our free iPad app Nord Trounce, specifically designed for sequencing the Nord Drum 3P via MIDI.

Trigger interface

Everything you play when using the multipads and external input is automatically output to the MIDI output, making the Nord Drum three a brilliant controller for other audio sources via MIDI.
