Thank you!
Thank you for purchasing the Nord Drum 2 .
We have designed this musical instrument to
be a one of a kind drum synthesizer for drum-
mers, percussionists and producers, seeking
unique and playable percussive sounds .
You are probably eager to start using the
Nord Drum 2 right away, but please spend
a few minutes with the first pages of this
manual . This will give you a good start on
how to hook it up, and to access the amaz-
ing features .
Attaching the stand
holder
The stand holder is used to mount the Nord
Drum 2 on a stand that is equipped with a
clamp . The diameter is 23 millimeter (0 .9
inches) which will fit most general purpose
clamps .
Connections
Phones
Connect a low impedance stereo headphone
to the Phones output . This is a 1/8" (mini)
jack .
Left, Right Out
The L and R outputs are unbalanced ¼"
jacks with line level signals .

The Nord Drum 2 is capable of produc-
ing sounds with a very wide dynamic and
frequency range. Be careful when you use
the unit and when you edit the sounds.
MIDI In
Connect the MIDI Input to a drum pad or a
sequencer if you want to control the Nord
Drum 2 with incoming MIDI messages . The
MIDI Input is also used when you update the
unit with new operating systems .
MIDI Out
Connect the MIDI Output to a computer or
sequencer to record what’s played on the
Nord Pad or other pads connected to the Trig
Inputs . The performance will be transmitted
as MIDI notes, which also can be used to
trigger other MIDI units .
MIDI Output is used with the Program Dump
feature to transfer the settings of the
programs in the Nord Drum 2 via MIDI .
