Whats up. If you see my post history, you know how much i struggle with the nord.
After a long search and 0 success for a unit like the nord, I re-bought the unit I sold for the same price I got it for. Theres nothing as intuitive and a well made real drum synth with 6 voices thats ever been made so far, unfortunately.
On the (used but new condition) unit that was not the one i had issues with, I instantly had issues with the pads and sensitivity AGAIN. I said F this and chopped the pads off and left the wires intact and sold the pad portion off for 30 bucks. I got a 3D Printed case for it that somewhat matches the color and I have It hooked up via midi to my Roland SPDSX PRO pads and its a WAY better feeling unit with way more flexibility. I even have a trigger going from my kick to the Roland and set up on one of the channels for the kick pad on the nord to pitch the kick input down so im running multiple channels and voices from it. So flexible and even then I can STILL run backing tracks or other samples.
I cant figure out how to get the Roland to command kit changes on the nord and dont think this is at all possible. It does change kits but it changes all over the place.
I have finally found what works for me.
Anyways. Enjoy my pics of my long awaited modded unit and what NORD / CLAVIA should have done since day one!!!
