X-mas rumours found on Clavia's site

But Iam curious how the samples will sound?

The advantage of this machine is that it is NOT sample based ....  it should react as old analog modules like TAMA PEARL or SIMMONS .... velocity can affect a lot of parameters , like tune , envelope , filter , and a lot more as this one is "modern "

...  this makes a very expressive way to use and modify "synthetic" drum sounds ... 

One other cool possibility , is that because this gear is MIDI , it gives you the possibility to controle the parameters using a midi controller or a sequencer ....

imagine ... you play drums and someone else modifys the textures of the sounds you play .....  or a sequencer or DAW can change kits for some parts or filter cutoff frequency on a snare sound!!!!

This is what i imagine , but knowing the nordlead a bit , all this  should be possible ...

we will see soon

This is not really meant for drummers. There aren't that many drum machines on the market and like puttenvr said it's a niche product. I'll wait for the reviews and videos to see what it actually does, but I'm already sure that this is not something I'd normally buy.

I think it s meant also for drummers , but not as main Brain , or in complement of an acoustic kit.

IMO it is a good idea from CLAVIA ...

Maby I will use the Nord Drum as ad-on module for extra inputs to my 2box module, but first I wanna hear it!

[puttenvr]

Not possible since the 2Box is a 10 channel unit.

Ok, But can you connect the Nord Drum on your 2box module?

yes , you can connect it ....  audio out from Norddrum to Drumit5 audio in ...

you can also connect it via midi , but in most  cases it s useless ....

I don't get it why it is useless , the Nord Drum has 4 trigger inputs so you connect 4 extra cymbals or whatever on your 2box module or is this not possible to do?

[GenuineHuman]

You can't use 2Box sounds, that's why it is useless. 2Box module has 10 channels / trigger inputs and once you use them all up, you're done, you can't trigger any additional 2Box module sounds, because you don't have any trigger inputs left.

1 -
  it s just useless to pay 400€ for 4 chanels of midi trig as you can get an Alesis triggerI/O ( 10 DUAL trig inputs) for 50€ on the second hand market .

Norddrum  (4 ins) 100 € per input

Alesis        (20 ins) 2.5 € per input

2 -

unless you build special DSOUNDS with different cymbal sounds for each zone, you have no channel left on your Drumit5 to play those 4 extra cymbal sounds     (see there http://www.2box-forum.com/index.php/topic,974.msg9445.html#msg9445 )

But the Nord Drum doesn't have built in sounds? Or internal memory?

of course it produces sounds  ... synth drum sounds ....
