THe PaNel 

The Nord drum 3P user interface is designed to allow for rapid adjustments and quick access to 
all sound-altering parameters. Below is an overview of the controls found on the Nord drum 3P 
panel. Complete descriptions of all features can be found later on in the manual. 

 

M

At the back of the instrument you will find all necessary jacks for setting up 
appropriate audio, power, MIDI and trigger connections to your Nord Drum 3P. If 
unsure, refer to the Appendix on page 14 for instructions on how to perform 
these connections in a correct and safe way. 

dIal 

The dial is used to select drum Kits or drums, as well as to change the setting of a selected 
parameter when 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 default setting in the middle, between the highest and lowest settings. 
Bend is one example, with 0 Bend in the middle of the range. When turning the dial the setting 
will momentarily stop at the center value.

CH seleCT BuTToNs

The two 

CH SELECT

 buttons are used to select which Channel is being focused for editing and 

for adding Channels to a mono Group. more information about mono Groups is found on page 
7.

PeaK/FoCus leds

The red 

PEAK/FOCUS

 leds will flash when the pad signal approaches maximum velocity. This 

indication can be used to make sure that you utilize the full dynamic range of the Nord drum 3P. 
read more about how to adjust the dynamic range and pad sensitivity on page 13. 

The Peak/Focus leds are also used to indicate which Channel is focused for editing. In edit all 
Ch mode (see page 7), all leds will be lit.

TrIG/moNo leds 

The green 

TRIG/MONO

 leds are used to indicate pad activity and flash when a Channel is being 

triggered by a pad. a led is lit with a fixed light if its Channel is part of a mono Group.
