Nord and drum machine

Post by viskib »

Hello, I would like to ask for some help. I have a Yamaha Genos instrument, I will sell it tomorrow. I used to have a Nord Stage 2 and I want to buy back a Nord Stage 3, but since I often go to concerts alone with singers, I should replace the Yamaha Genos drum machine, but I think it's expensive to keep and I don't want 2 instruments. I also have my own drum loop, so can anyone suggest a solution for this? Ipad, touchpad, any module, anything? In which I can use the Main, Fill, Intro drum loops. Thank you in advance for everyone's respectful responses.
I will be using my Nord instrument a lot in Piano and Bass Split mode. :wave:

Unfortunately, that's not what I need. It does not allow custom loop patterns. I don't need an automatic escort.

I‘m not familiar with solo entertainer equipment. The one thing I could imagine or remember from my producer past is a combination of a workstation and cubase. Cubase on the iPad, controlling a multisound combination on my korg X50, including various drum kits, could play individual drum tracks plus bass or other instruments. You could use MIDI files or selfmade programmes. A simple korg kross 2 or roland juno ds weighs around 4 or 5 kilos and doesn‘t cost a fortune.

As much as I know about nord Stage 3 you cannot combine as many sound sections as needed for accompaniment.

Cheers from Germany

Edit: Thinking about it twice, as the nord Stage 3 has two synth sections and you will only need one for your bass, I do remember having seen some drum kit samples in the nordusersounds.com which you could play/control with cubase from your iPad. I think I would try this way.

Cheers again
