There are four modes of synthesis: resonant synthesis, subtractive wave types, FM synthesis, and ring modulation synthesis. The Nord Drum 3P only has six pad channels, so you will be a little more limited on places to hit. Analog is Better, Man – Not Really The electronic drum pad that stood out to us was the Roland SPD-SX Pro. Thanks to the incredible ability to import custom samples, excellent durability, external trigger inputs, a stereo auxiliary input, and overall great feel, choosing the Roland SPD-SX Pro as our favorite wasn’t a difficult decision. They inform you of the BPM of an assigned loop and light up from left to right, indicating how far a loop is through its cycle. There’s also an option to play random pads from hitting just the one to mix up your sound the way hitting a cajon would produce different tonality each time. The pads themselves are very (and I mean very) robust and durable, this thing takes a beating nearly every other day and I'm yet to find any dents or hit marks on the pads. I think the pads are pretty much on-par with Roland’s SPD-SX and Octopad. They are a much-needed upgrade when compared to the Samplepad Pro.You can connect five additional drum pads, a hi-hat pedal, and two footswitches to the module. You can assign them to trigger additional samples or to control different functions such as turning effects on and off or switching kits. There are also preset patches like Latin Loops that feature various looped percussion you can jam over, including congas, bongos, and shakers.
