The slope describes how steep the filter will be at the cut off frequency.
Range: L1 (Low Pass 12 dB), L2 (Low Pass 24 dB), B1
(Band Pass 6 dB), B2 (Band Pass 12 dB), H1 (High Pass 12
dB), H2 (High Pass 24 dB), H3 (High Pass high cut)

FREQ

The Filter FREQ is the cutoff frequency where the selected filter will begin
to influence the noise. The actual sound that is produced depends on
the filter type.
0 - 50
Range:

DYN FILTER

DYN FILTER sets the amount of dynamic velocity modulation on the noise
filter envelope. This parameter is bipolar, a positive setting will open the
filter and a negative setting will close the filter.

DECAY

The DECAY parameter defines the time it takes for the Noise level to drop
to zero after having been triggered. The higher the value, the longer the
noise.
Range: 0-50

MODE

decay MODE determines the decay profile of the decay envelope. In Ex-
ponential (E1-E3) mode the noise will fade quickly in the beginning, and
gradually decrease with a smaller amount per time interval. Linear mode
gives an entirely linear decay envolope, and Gate mode maintains a full
noise level all the way up until the decay time has been reached.

Turning past the E, L and modes a number will appear on the display.
This number indicates the value of the decay at zero velocity, allowing
for the decay length to respond dynamically to the force with which the
pad is triggered. The diagrams below show how the decay and dynam-
ic decay mode parameters interact at different settings.

ToNe ParameTers

The TONE part can be thought of as the "body" of the sound and its
associated parameters allow a large number of different sounds to be
achieved.
The WAVE parameter provides a selection of synthesis models, specif-
ically designed to provide a wide range of drum sounds. The SPECTRA
and FREQ parameters change the harmonic content of the Waves. In
addition, Freq can be dynamically controlled by a velocity modulated
decay envelope, using the DYN FILTER parameter.

SPECTRA

The SPECTRA parameter allows for stretching or tuning the spectral
components. as an example, the drumhead models (d1 - d9 Waves)
can have the head tuned separate from the body resonance, deter-
mined by the PITCH parameter. When Fm is used, the spectra parame-
ter will set the modulator frequency.
Range: 0 - 99

WAVE

The Nord drum 3P features several different synthesis models referred
to as Waves, representing a range of different characters and areas of
application. some Waves will give the Tone part a distinctive pitch, and
others will provide a more non-pitched character.
