Nord is launching the new Nord Drum 3 and Nord Drum 3P this summer.

New features include Reverb and Delay effects, a simplified sound selection mode and new sound banks for quickly creating custom kits on the fly.

Features: 

  • 6-channel Percussion Synthesizer
  • Nord Drum 3P with intergrated multipad, kick pad input and MIDI NEW
  • Nord Drum 3 with 6 generic trigger/drum pad inputs and MIDI
  • Simplified user interface with easy sound selection NEW
  • Advanced sound engine with Resonant Synthesis, Subtractive synthesis and FM-synthesis
  • Reverb and Delay Effects NEW
  • Drive, Crush and EQ-effects per channel
  • MIDI in/out and full CC-control
  • Stereo Output with improved output level

The Sound Select-feature allows users to browse a wide selection of drums sounds, simply assigned to each pad individually, and easily replace toms, cymbals or kicks in seconds by selecting from a new preset library.

The new factory sound bank features 10 categories of preset sounds that can be assigned to any of the six pads/channels – and is a great starting point in rehearsal situations when you need to find the right sounds in a matter of seconds.

The categories include Kicks, Snares, Toms, Claps, Cymbals, Hi-hats, Melodic, Effects, Materials and Synth.

The Nord Drum 3/3P will hit stores in June 2016 with pricing to be announced.
