Help: Nord Drum on Push 3 standalone – can’t play pads chromatically via 16 pitches mode Drum Rack

Post by Gonzalist » Sat Jun 28, 2025 1:21 pm

Hi all,

I’m using Push 3 standalone with Ableton’s Drum Rack to trigger a Nord Drum. Each voice is getting a trigger via multiple instances of external instrument, but I can’t play them chromatically in 16 pitches mode– they’re locked to one MIDI channel/note. If use as external instrumens it works just fine

I’ve tried assigning pads to different MIDI channels in the Rack, but “New Notes” still won’t spread them chromatically. Any ideas?

Specifically:

How do I route pads to play chromatically via 16 pitches mode?


Any tips or examples would help – thanks!

My setup doesn’t allow to replicate yours, but I’m pretty sure that’s because the 16 pitches use MPE to transpose notes.
