Oh please, please, please! I’m really getting into hardware synths again, and I’d love to get a real drum machine (other than my ER1). I downloaded the demo for Spark, but really it’s just like Maschine a software VST with a hardware midi controller. Not exactly a real drum machine; and Dave Smith’s Tempest is way too expensive, so maybe Nord will bring us something small producers can afford. Nord Drum.

UPDATE

Well it looks like the Nord Drum is a bit of a dud, for those of us expecting a cheaper version of Tempest. Nord Drum Updated. It’s basically an analog drum box that you connect to drum pads. No sequencer or anything in the form of competing with Spark or Maschine. Boooo! Blah!
