Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Part of the "Nord Drum" lineage, the 3P combines the Swedish brand's percussive synthesis engine with an integrated multipad. It positions itself as a high-end solution for drummers and producers seeking the power of a dedicated synthesis module without external sampling, with ergonomics designed for the stage.
Who This Multipad Is For
Perfect for intermediate to expert drummers/percussionists in live or home studio settings, as well as electronic producers. It easily covers techno, pop, urban music, sound design, electro, and also hybrid setups with acoustic drums thanks to the kick input and highly articulated tom/snare sounds.
