and is a container for six drum sounds, or Channels, in turn accessed
by the six pads. despite its name, a drum does not necessarily need to
sound like a drum but could be any type of sound which can be created
on a Nord drum 3P Channel.

The Nord drum 3P has six
Channels
, meaning that it can produce six simultaneous sounds. each Channel has an identical set of parameters. a
drum sound in the Nord drum 3P is created with a blend of up to three
Parts
:
TONE
,
NOISE
and
CLICK
. each Part has its individual set of parame-
ters.
The Tone can be described as the tonal “body” of the sound while Noise is a non-pitched addition or building block. The Click is the very first tran-
sient, much like the contact sound of a stick hitting a drum or other object. The sum of these parts can be processed with dist, eQ, delay and re-
verb.
