Boska Bank

New impressive sound bank for the Nord Drum 2

2014-07-04

The creative Norwegian drummer and producer Jon-Eirik Boska has created a striking signature bank for the Nord Drum 2. Boska releases house and electronic music under the Boska moniker, as well as playing drums for a range of Norwegian and international acts. He's also been involved in the Nord Drum development since its very first rendition.

The Boska Bank contains 50 kits and can be downloaded here, where you'll also find some great sound demos showcasing the expressive, versatile and dynamic range of the Nord Drum 2!

Please note that the Boska Bank requires Nord Drum 2 OS v3.00 or later. 

Check out some samples of his creation in the sound player below.

Nord Sound Manager update

New features and bugfixes!

2014-06-23

The new Nord Sound Manager v6.50 features several interface improvements to make it even easier to transfer sounds.

First off, the new upload and download dialogs give you much better control when handling factory banks from our website. Dropping a program or sample file on the Nord Sound Manager window will now automatically choose the correct destination tab. Nord Sound Manager now accepts .ZIP-files and will unzip them for you. The "Replace" feature has been renamed to "Substitute" for better clarity - and in addition to this we've also squashed a few bugs too!
