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.
