Nord Drum 2 . Nord Beat has a classic step
sequencer interface with an easy to use grid

content
By using MIDI Sys Ex dumps, you can store

sequencer . The memory dumps can be re-
corded to a sequencer or by using one of the
many, free MIDI applications that can receive,
save and transmit MIDI data .
Windows users can do this with MIDI
Ox (www.midiox.com), Mac OSX users
can use the SysEx Librarian from Snoize
Productions (www.snoize.com).
