MIDI Operation

There are two methods of operation when us-
ing the Nord Drum 2 in a MIDI setup . You can
use the Global Channel or the individual MIDI
Channels . These methods differs a little bit in
their flexibility and in what you can achieve .
Both methods make it possible to record,
and to play back the MIDI notes and param-
eter changes . Pads connected to the Trig
Inputs will generate MIDI Notes, any changes
that you make to the sounds from the Nord
Drum 2 panel, will be transmitted as MIDI
Control Change messages .
Global & Individual MIDI

Global MIDI Channel

By using the Global MIDI Channel, all MIDI
notes and Control Change messages will be
transmitted and received on a single MIDI
channel .

Individual MIDI Channels

By using the individual MIDI Channels in the
Nord Drum 2, you can control all the param-
eters on all the Nord Drum 2 channels .
Recording: Global MIDI
Channel
Connect the Nord Drum 2 MIDI In and Out
to a computer/MIDI interface/sequencer . Set
the sequencer track to all Channels or MIDI
Channel 10, the default Global MIDI channel
in the Nord Drum 2 .
MIDI
Play on the Nord Pad (or any other attached
pad) and record the performance . The
individual MIDI Notes of the Nord Drum 2
channels will be transmitted to the sequencer
on the Global Channel .
If the sequencer is set to echo back incoming
MIDI data, this can cause double triggered
notes and flams . If this happens, set MIDI
Local to Off on the Nord Drum 2 .

Recording parameter changes

There are more parameters in the Nord Drum
2 channels than there are available MIDI
Control Change numbers .
The Channel Select buttons on the panel will
therefore be used to set the transmitting and
receiving Nord Drum 2 channel focus of the
CC messages . This allows you to record and
receive parameter changes on the Global
MIDI Channel .
