In April this year Clavia Nord announced a percussion synthesizer Nord Drum 3P (together with Nord Drum 3). The box of red color introduced a few new features: the effects of delay and reverberation, as well as new sound banks.

Factory banks include 200 presets, and 400 custom ones. In the library there are kicks, snares, toms, bells, cymbals, hi-hats, claps, etc. available. Each of them can be assigned to any of the 6 pads.

Like the predecessor Nord Drum 2, the interface has retained all of the same basic sections: Click, Tone, Noise. "Tone" is designed to create harmonically complex waveforms, which are generated using 3 types of synthesis - resonance, subtractive synthesis, and frequency modulation (FM). Resonance synthesis offers a wide range of sounds, such as marimba, vibraphones and cymbals. The subtractive method has standard sawtooth, sine, meander waveforms for synthesizing, and frequency modulation has 6 different FM algorithms, where frequency parameters are controlled by an exclusive "Spectra" knob. "Click" adds a click to the attack, and "Noise", as the name implies, - synthesizes noises.

For each unit (Click, Tone, Noise) there is an individual dynamic filter: LP (low-pass), HP (high-pass), and BP (band-pass) directly interacting with the Velocity. All 6 channels of the instrument have their own effects - distortion, equalizer and repeat. Among the master effects there are reverb and delay available, which can also be assigned to any channel. The device has a headphone output (1/8), MIDI In/Out, and 6 common inputs for connecting to electronic, acoustic drums, etc.

In 2012, the famous brand Nord launched a series of drum machines with a short and clear name - "Drum". At first glance, it may seem that Nord Drum doesn’t stand out among the others: the next budget option without a built-in sequencer, but it's not....
