Reference
Channels & signal
flow
There are six channels in the Nord Drum 2, it
can produce six simultaneous sounds . Each
one of the channels has an identical set of
parameters . The illustration below shows the
signal flow in the Nord Drum 2 .
A sound in the Nord Drum 2 is created with
a blend of up to three components: Tone,
Noise and Click . Each one of these compo-
nents has their individual set of parameters
The Tone can be described as the “body”
of the sound, the Noise is a non-pitched
addition and the Click is the very first tran-
sient, like the contact sound of the stick on
whatever you are hitting . These components
can be processed with effects, such as the
equalizer and an echo effect .
