Nord Drum 3P Fine Tuning

Post by abb3rn1e »

Hello Forum!

Is there any way to fine tune the oscillators on the Nord Drum 3P with finer resolution than the 0.5 quarter tones?

I have experimented with controlling via MIDI from Max/MSP but it seems that even the Tone Pitch LSB CC63 parameter is also restricted to 0 (<= 63) and 0.5 (>=64).

I would really like to be able to use the 3P, but if fine tuning isn't possible I'll sadly have to return it. It's a great instrument, otherwise!

Thanks for your insights.

Fine tuning like an oscillator is not possible. If this is a deal breaker for you then the unit in general is not for you im afraid. Theres many other limitations that are more devastating than fine tuning.

Honestly im only keeping mine because theres nothing like it on the market. Other than that this thing needs and updated version......5 years ago.

I midi it up to a Roland spdsx pro and in the future once all the pads on the nord crap out then ill cut them off and just use the brain of the unit.

Nord overall.....sucks.

And as you can see this sub is not very active and not maybe people truly use the nord drum 3p honestly. So its still very niche.
