Nord Stage 3 as drum machine

Post by NordPH »

I bet you didn´t know you could use the Nord arpeggiator this way :)



By mapping the samples to specific keys i was able to create a pattern that works well with the arpeggiator.
Now you can have a drumloop going and change the tempo of it too :)

(Would you mind posting the sample for shameless stealing?)

I‘m afraid no. It reads as if it uses the arpeggiator of the synth section which the nord pianos, no matter which version, don‘t have.
Cheers
Edit: But you can load the sample and play it by hand or an external midi player app.
