Just getting back in to my music after 30 odd years.
Bought a Stage 2 and love it.
Looking for a drum machine that has a trigger output that will work with the Stage 2 easily.
Budget is £400-£500.
Last drum machine was Roland TR Drumatix, modified outputs and was a good workhorse.
Appreciate any recommendations

Re: Programmable drum to trigger Stage 2
trigger output to work with NS2? I'm not quite sure what that means. The NS2 has a midi input which is capable of accepting a midi data stream from any midi device. What is it you want this drum machine to do? How are you hoping to use it with your NS2?
Bless,
Pablo

Re: Programmable drum to trigger Stage 2
Synchronise the drum clock and Nord master clock/arpeggiator/effects?

Re: Programmable drum to trigger Stage 2
Just checked with my Arturia Spark; once I set the Spark's preferences to output MIDI and clock and hooked up a cable to the input of my Stage 2 it synced automatically (ie arpeggios) while I was twisting the tempo knob on the Spark.
Great! I love knobs that actually works! Got mine on eBay.
The Spark is an amazing beast, but the downside is that it needs a "datamaskin" (Win or OS X).

Re: Programmable drum to trigger Stage 2
The NS2 will automatically switch to external clock sync and simultaneously lock to that clock whenever it sees clock at its midi input.
But of course it's always nice to get independent confirmation that these things really do work just as stated in the manual. Thanks Marlowes!

Re: Programmable drum to trigger Stage 2
Many thanks for the replies. It looks like the Keyboard will sort itself out clockwise with the midi input.
The Arturia looks really good but I would need outputs to go direct to mixing desk.
What programmable drum machines do others use ?
Kind regards
