Dark and Heavy Patches On The Nord Drum 3p

[@nicolaneeco]

this channel is criminally underrated

[@toskabyss]

😆 thank you I truly appreciate that! I am hopeful folks find some value in it!

[@bugglebegger143]

it's crazy how good this instruments just SOUNDS... like sure its a bit limited but theres something just intangible about the way it makes you feel when you hear it. thats something an instrument either has, or doens't have. this just does. i literally can't explain it at all because in theory it shouldn't, its just the reality. also, really cool production techniques when i kept watching the video

[@toskabyss]

I absolutely agree! I’ve played other drum pads and they felt like midi controllers or something. The ND just feels like a high quality experience all around.

[@AbominusRules]

Goddamn that’s awesome! I’m actually in the market for a new drum machine and was pointed towards the ND3 but I don’t have to space for it. Wish they made just the brains of it to hook up to a sequencer.

[@toskabyss]

I would really like a module version too. @userfriendlysounds has a module version - might be worth seeing if he has the steps to make that!

[@megalozyx]

One of the most inspiring tutorials I’ve seen in a long time!

[@toskabyss]

Dang! Thank you I appreciate that!

[@bodwin1469]

Loving Precipice - jumped into it after watching this ❤

[@toskabyss]

thank you so much for giving it a listen! I wrote much of that after watching Tenet. I wanted to write music that you felt like you could run to, both forward and reverse 😆

[@nkdrum]

Love it! The end product is sick! Helpful ideas

[@toskabyss]

Thanks my friend!

[@faganwilcox2443]

An update to the nord drum is overdue. Individual outs and parameters that don't jump (smooth morphing) would be really nice.

[@toskabyss]

Ahhh man I have to agree on the parameter jumping thing. I’d love the option to turn on and off a glide mode for some parameters. I’d forgo the extra individual outs in place of a dedicated kick channel so you didn’t have to sacrifice the one pad.

[@MortalSynths]

Hell yea, man! Great work.

[@toskabyss]

Thank you my friend!!

[@christopherjanzen]

Just wanted to say thanks for making these tutorial videos, they've been really inspiring to me for how you come up with the base sounds and then how you process things in Ableton. The final track is also amazing!

[@toskabyss]

Thanks Christopher! I am grateful that someone is getting something out of these! I sort of fell upon this a couple months ago when I challenged myself to make a track a day for a month only using the Nord Drum. It made me realize that, in my case, less is more. When I had the most amount of gear I ever had in my life I was writing the worst music haha. Trying to apply the less is more to things moving forward.

[@norddrummer]

Sick. I love it. :) So good that you have your own style now.

[@toskabyss]

Thanks man! I really do feel like I've found my lane with this. Maybe one day I'll get another one and go crazy with 12 pads.

[@SONWU]

Great tutorial, and also lovely video/editing.

[@toskabyss]

Thank you my friend!!!

[@blackmetaltrajano3715]

Thanks mate. I learned a lot

[@toskabyss]

that's awesome, I'm glad you got something from it!

[@metamyther]

Good stuff man, got a ND 3P recently myself and like your sound.

[@toskabyss]

Thanks!! How are you liking your ND3p? When I first got mine I didn’t connect right away but eventually it became my favorite piece of gear.

[@metamyther]

@@toskabyss I like it so far, as well as its workflow potentials. I have already been hooking it up to my modular effects, which when those are modulated allows me to keep the static sounds on the ND constantly changing (no LFOs on the ND as you know). Plus I could use the ND to trigger modular drum voices or envelopes as another strategy to not have all 6 channels coming from the ND to keep channels split as much as possible. First week in though, I want to make an Ableton chain that beefs up the raw sound of the ND to have a better "starting point" when designing kits. Do you have a kick trigger for the ND? If so which do you recommend?

[@cal_blac]

Oh man this is some inspiring shit I need to make some heavy stuff now 😂

[@toskabyss]

Yes! Get that Pro 3 to start ripping it up! I wish I was still close because I would be asking to borrow that pretty thing for a weekend!

[@CoffinNachtmahr]

Yooooooo

[@toskabyss]

🤣 my friend!
