#IWORD PAD DRUM HOW TO#
Notice below that the bass drum is in a different position on the staff than the snare or ride cymbal.ĭrums are notated by dots, while cymbals are notated with an “x.” These symbols typically have “stems” attached to them, which help explain how to count the beat that is shown. Notes are placed in the staff based on which part of the drum set should be played at any given time. The staff is made up of five lines and four spaces, but notes can be positioned above or below the staff as well. Like the English language, drum notation is read from left to right. By learning to read and write this part of the musical language, you’ll develop a strong sense of timing and rhythm control. The space between the bar lines is referred to as a “measure.” You will typically count beats while playing different notes on the drum set within each measure.ĭrum notation does contain similarities to sheet music in that measures are counted and read the same way. The adjustable input sensitivity and Trig Types lets you tailor the Nord Drum's response to the Pads or Triggers gear you choose to use.In drum notation, the notes are written on the staff and are separated by vertical bar lines. Put an acoustic drum trigger on your acoustic bass drum, add two electronic drum pads as extra toms and let a MIDI sequencer play the last channel for syncing to a backing track. The flexibility of having both Trigger and MIDI-inputs lets you use the Nord Drum in numerous ways, and you can also mix Pads, Triggers and MIDI at the same time. The length of the click can be tailored with a Decay / Gate parameter. Choose from 27 click types, from noise-based, tone/noise-based and tone-based. The Click-section is a specialized section for adding attack to the sound. The Noise Decay can be gated (soft/hard) or set to fade out gradually. The Sweep parameter gives you control over the Filter envelope amount and time. The noise of your choice can be run through a neutral low-pass Filter or one of the 6 resonant filter Types. The Noise-section lets you add texture to your sound and can produce a wide spectrum of noise, ranging from grainy rumble to silky white noise - adjusted with the Color parameter.
Short Bend times can add a nice attack to the Tone. The Pitch is set in quartertones from (B-1 to D7). Bend can make the tone travel up or down in pitch when triggered and is very dynamically responsive to your playing. The length of the tone is controlled with the Decay parameter, and can set to fade out gradually or stop abrubtly (Gate).
ThePunch adds a short velocity controlled attack to sounds. A low-pass Filter lets you muffle the tone and the Sweepparameter can be applied to make the filter close gradually over time. Choose between basic analog waveforms (sine, saw, square) or a number of complex waveforms reminiscent of the harmonics of percussive instruments and drumheads. The Tone Section is where the sound gets its "body".
Here's a quick walkthrough of the sound sections. Sound creationĮach of the 4 channels have 3 sound generating sections and a mixer to set the balance of each section.
4 high-sensitivity inputs and MIDI lets you play the Nord Drum with a wide range of Electronic Drum Pads, Acoustic Drum Triggers and MIDI-pads/Sequencers for easy integration into any existing drum-kit or the starting point for something completely new.Ĭreate classic retro-futuristic percussion with analog waveforms or use the harmonically complex waveforms together with different colors of noise for results that both sound and respond stunningly organic. The Nord Drum is designed with the performing musician in mind and its extreme dynamic range and super-fast triggering add to the feeling of playing a real instrument. 4 inputs for Electronic Drum Pads / Acoustic Drum Triggers.The Nord Drum is a revolutionary 4-channel drum synthesizer with an amazingly vast sonic palette and astounding level of playability that's guaranteed to change your perception of what's possible with synthetic, sample-free percussion.
