    Could be so much more...
    I love my Nord Drum 2. This app, while decent, could be SO much more. 1. Add a sound design mode, where you can edit all of the sound parameters (all values can be controlled via MIDI CC, so why not make it easier for producers to tweak sounds? The hardware interface is great, but I'd like to use my iPad to do it all. 2. Allow sysex dumps so that you can save/restore your sounds from your iPad. You have the code for the desktop librarian editor... Just put it in this app. Allow those dumps to be accessible via iTunes file sharing 3. Allow setting the pitch per step. 4. Allow 4-8 MIDI "parameter locks" elektron style for each voice (let the user choose which paramos to sequence) I've controlled the ND2 this way via my machinedrum and it opens up a world of new sounds. A pain to set up though. Native support for it in your app would be a killer feature. 5. More pattern space and/or up to 64 steps. 6. Individual voice track lengths. Because it's 2015. 7. Ability to record from the virtual pads into the sequence. I'm never going to actually perform with the iPad drum pads, but if I could record what I tap into the sequence, that'd be great. On that note, let me record from my actual nord pad into the sequence. 8. The 3 levels of velocity is fine for old school sequencing, but you've made an INCREDIBLY nuanced and subtle sound engine... Let me define the velocity 0-127 If you guys made this a truly pro sequencer/editor for the ND2 I would easily pay $50. I paid that much for Lemur and I have to build the interfaces myself! Offer a deep tool for using the ND2 with no set up on the users part? Absolutely I'd pay top dollar for that. Easily my favorite drum module around... Teased with a very primitive app that just scratches the surface. 3 stars. My gut said 2 just because there are so many more features that are begging to go in here, but since it's a solid app (no crashes or glitches) 2 is a little unfair. Show more

    Original Nord Drum Owners, Watch Out
    It does what it's supposed to do. However, one should be aware that this V.2. update completely replaced the original Nord Beat app, which, if used for working with the Nord Drum, means that you will have some issues within this app. It's designed for different hardware, and all of my ~20 or so fully programed tracks saved from the original app no longer open. They do show in the memory of the device, but they aren't openable by any software I've got. Pretty glaring oversight, Nord. Show more

    Not bad, with one misfeature...
    Not a bad little sequencer. One really annoying characteristic though is saved patterns don't store the note configuration (MIDI note values of each track) so if you change it from one pattern to the next you'd better write it down. What a pain. Otherwise it's great. Show more

    Great Find...
    It's a really well designed, clean interface that sends MIDI to other sound generators. Fun to use, nice swing and flam features... I can get patterns made without any fuss. If Nord could let us save theMIDI note output with the song and maybe offer some preconfigured scale based MIDI output note setups I'd be 5 starring it! Show more

    Nord
    Nord, please make an app to edit sample for the stage 2

    Ignore "waste of time" review -- looks good
    The description specifically states that the app does not generate sound -- only MIDI output. So complaints about "no sound" can be ignored. Looking forward to trying this out.

    Waste of time
    Downloaded. Opened. Audio was mute, didn't work. All my other apps audio were fine. Quickly deleted.

    Good
    Can you add audio bus or some way to access sound from the iPad apps?
