Input Trig Level LEDs
The Input LEDs are used to indicate channel
activity, if a channel is triggered, being edited
or part of a Mute or Edit Group . Read more
about Groups on page 14 .
Peak/Focus LEDs
The upper red LEDs will flash when a trigger
input receives a signal from the pad or trigger
device . This indication can be used to make
sure that you utilize the full dynamic range of
the Nord Drum 2 . The red Peak LED should
be lit with a longer duration when you play
with your maximum force . If it blinks (which
it does 3 dB below the maximum), you can
increase the Input Sensitivity, see page 9 .
E
The red LEDs do not indicate overload or
distortion in the audio signal path of the
Nord Drum 2.
Trig/Mute Group LEDs
The lower green LEDs will blink on channel
activity . Solid green LEDs indicates which
channels are in the Mute Group .
Parameters are accessed with the row of
eight buttons . Press one of the buttons to
begin to edit a sound . Settings are changed
when the Dial is turned .
If a button activates a parameter in the up-
per row, a quick double-tap on the same
button or by pressing the Row Select button
will move the edit focus to the second row
parameter .
Lower Param
When you want to see the setting of, or edit
one of the parameters with the red labels,
hold down the “Lower
Param” button . Another
method is to hold down
that particular parameter
button .
Dial
Turn the Dial to select
programs and to change
the setting of a selected
parameter when you are
editing a sound .
The Dial is sensitive to the
speed of the turning action . A quick twist to
the left or the right can set a parameter to its
lowest or highest value .
Certain parameters have a basic setting in
the middle between the highest and lowest
settings, Bend is one of these with 0 Bend in
the middle of the range . Twist the Dial quickly
and the setting will make a stop in this center
setting .
Shift/Exit
The Shift button is
used together with
the buttons to access
additional parameters .
These additional pa-
rameters are labeled with the text below the
buttons .
The System, MIDI and Inp Sens param-
eters have more than one setting . These
are accessed by pressing repeatedly on the
buttons .
