instrument sounds

Post by cmdrum14 »

Hey
just wondering about the Nord drum 2. Can you upload timpani sounds, acoustic sounds, and samples of your own drum kit or marimba playing on to the machine and then play it ? :)
thanks

Hi CM,

The ND2 is not a sample player, it is a synth. It cannot load samples.

Bless,

Pablo

So it doesn't load samples. But say the downloads on this website wit all the samples of different instruments, I can't download them on to it?

No, you cannot load samples onto it. It cannot play samples.

This policy of not loading samples onto ND2 will temporarily be suspended for one day and one day only, after which that door will close again. Mark your calendars for next Wednesday!

Thanks for the reply!
So the instrument banks can't be downloaded on to it play freely! That is the reason I was going to get one! :( because I want to play say a note on a timpani (on the pad) and use it instead of a real one

So disappointing!

Thanks though
