more than 1 trigger for nd2 when nord pad is attached?

Postby pheel » 07 Apr 2017, 17:15

hi,

i just bought a used nord drum 2 - i especially wanted to use it with drum triggers on the live set.
i also got the nord pad with it now, and am very disappointed to find out, that trigger inputs 2-6 are deactivated as soon as the nord pad is attached.
is there any way around this setting?
i would really like to use both the pads and several triggers at the same time.

thank you, philipp

Hi Pheel,

No, that is not possible. It's either the Nord pad + a (bass-)drum pad (Ch.1), or 6 drum pads..

hi wartaler,

thanks for the reply - i basically figured that out myself in the meantime ;)
but:

does anybody know what exactly the mechanism/electronics is that deacticvates trigger inputs 2-6 when the nord pad is connected?
would it be worth a try to cut one of the 8 lines of the ethernet cable (ideally the one connecting to pad nr.2, and not the 2 the might be sending electricity to the pad) and therefore "freeing" trigger input nr. 2

I would love to have a bd trigger and a snare trigger attached and use the nord pad at the same (i do not mind if i can only use 4 pads then).

any ideas out there?

and i am aware of the fact that i can attach a separate multipad via midi, or add separate pads into the trigger inputs.
i just like the size and simplicity of the nord pad, and would love to be able to use it with two extra triggers...

thanks, philipp
