A super-dynamic synthetic drum kit
The Nord Drum 3P is a super-dynamic synthetic drum synthesizer that expands the expressive and sonic possibilities of its drum synthesizer, making it suitable for use on stage. The instrument, a "Modeling Percussion Synthesizer" according to the manufacturer, has six channels, one for each playing pad, and a particularly flexible synthesis engine. It can be played directly through the pads or controlled externally via MIDI. As if that wasn't enough, a bass drum pedal can also be connected. The range of sounds is quite large, as is the dynamics, which are particularly wide. All sounds can be edited directly on the device and can be individually classified by category or organized and saved in kits. Each sound can be enriched with a number of effects per pad.

Easy to play and easy to edit
The Nord Drum 3P works with multiple synthesis types: resonant, subtractive, FM, or using ring modulation. Resonant synthesis generates harmonics based on the strength of the strike, allowing for particularly dynamic timbres. For the other synthesis types, parameters such as filter, decay, or bend are made dependent on the strength of the strike. Sounds can be enriched with a noise component and an attack click, resulting in timbres ranging from classic synthetic percussion to surprisingly realistic "acoustic" drum sounds, as well as all sorts of special effects. A kit consists of six sounds that are played from the robust pads directly linked to the synthesis engine. MIDI control can be performed from any DAW or from the free Nord Beat iOS app.

The perfect complement to an acoustic drum set
The Nord Drum comes with an attachment to fix it on a dedicated stand, drum mount, or simply place it on a desk or music stand. However, its stereo output is primarily intended for the stage, where its wide range of sounds will allow it to tackle the most diverse styles. It can be used as a complement to an acoustic drum set for fusion, as a percussive instrument in ambient music, or as an electronic drum set for synth pop or electro. Thanks to the Nord Drum's great dynamic range, experienced drummers will be able to play it just like their acoustic drum set.

An electronic drum set for the stage and studio
The Nord Drum 3P can be mounted on a dedicated stand on stage next to an acoustic drum set, which is thus enriched with an additional range of sounds, specific to the needs of the moment. If an additional kick drum is needed, it can be triggered with a dedicated pedal, a technique commonly used in New Metal. The easily configurable sounds and kits can be quickly loaded and swapped. The synthesis engine is protected against accidental modifications. In case of emergency, a "Panic" button can cut the signal and reduce the Nord Drum to silence. In the studio, it can be controlled via MIDI, not only with note messages but also with control change messages, which allow for precise or gradual sound modifications.
