[/close] 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. 5 year warranty for peace of mind Nord offer a generous five year manufacturer warranty on a wide range of their instruments giving you extra peace of mind long after your purchase. This extended warranty covers manufacturing faults and hardware defects helping protect your investment and keeping your instrument performing as it should for years to come. To qualify the product must be registered with Nord within 30 days of purchase which is quick and straightforward to do online.
