Die Änderungen im Detail:
OS v2.1 2013-10-17
New features
General additions and changes:
•Doubled memory capacity. Nord Drum 2 now has 8 banks with 50 program locations each (400 program locations in total). Switch between banks quickly with SHIFT+dial.
•Support for the new Nord Drum 2 Manager software (Mac/Win) that lets you easily transfer and back up to and from your Nord Drum 2.
•Display mode changed to show the currently editable parameter, for improved legibility
•Sound Init function added: press COPY + PASTE to set all parameters on selected channel to default values.
•Increased parameter resolution for many parameters.
•Edit Group: Paste will now apply the copy buffer contents to all channels in the group
•Tap Tempo function added for Repeat/Echo: The Repeat/Echo Tempo can now be tapped by Hold SHIFT + Lower Param-button and using the Trig-button to tap the tempo.
•Trig button: adjusted range – now 1-20.
•Unused Program locations are now marked with a dot (•) when using Store.
•Dynamic Decay: Velocity reference for "Decay Low" is now 25% of max velocity.
MIDI changes:
•Full MIDI CC-control of all parameters. See the updated manual for complete MIDI CC number and function listing.
Mode 1: Use Global MIDI channel (default 10) to play any drum channels via their assigned note numbers (fixed pitch per channel). All parameters available for CC control (follows channel focus).
Mode 2: Use the individual channels (1-6) to play any drum channels in a pitched manner via a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. CC control of all parameters available for each individual drum channel via its MIDI Channel respectively.
•Solo Edit: When Nord Drum 2 is receiving MIDI input, Solo Edit will now mute all other channels.
Noise section changes:
•Optimized Noise engine performance
•4 new Filter types added: High Pass 12dB/24dB, Low Pass 12dB and Band Pass 6dB. Old High Pass filter renamed to High Pass High Cut (HPhc).
•Attack parameter has a improved Clap mode: 9 new clap types replaces the old CL type, with gradually longer decay on last ”clap”.
•Attack parameter change: Repeat (previously called "rp" in display) is now called LFO.
•Decay parameter change: Decay Envelope type has moved to the upper Decay parameter and is quickly changed using SHIFT+dial (Lin/Exp/Gate) (renamed Decay on future panels).
•Decay parameter change: Lower Parameter (TYPE/DYN) now only controls low velocity decay times (range: OFF, 0-50) (renamed Dec Lo on future panels).
Tone section changes:
•6 FM Synthesis wave types added, where Timbre controls modulation amount and Spectra controls modulation frequency. See manual for exceptions.
•New cymbal wave type added: C3.
•CY1 &2 waveforms have improved LPF/Timbre envelope.
•Improved LPF/Timbre envelope for Analog Saw, Square and Triangle.
•Punch parameter change: PitchUp and PitchDown-modes are now velocity sensitive.
•Bend Down range has been increased.
Click changes:
•New Click types added and a new category ”PH ” added with high pass filtered pulse clicks.
Effects changes:
•Distortion improvements. Drive (dr) have adjusted levels and improved range.
Trig Types additions:
•6 Dynamic curves added for Trig/Pad-input.
•3 new trig types for Acoustic Trig: Ac1-3.
Bugfixes:
•Attack Rate/LFO and clap could pop/click – fixed.
•H1 Wavetype could exihibit noise artefact - fixed.
•Fixed bug where low sensitivity would generate note-offs.
•Midi note-length is now longer (approx 20 ms)
•Improved MIDI behaviour with MIDI is looped.
•In Edit Group, Scale Presets will now remain intact when pitching the group to max or minimum values.
•Repeat/Echo was included when copying a drum channel to another program - fixed.
•Improved behaviour when connecting the Nord Pad when Nord Drum 2 is already turned on.
•Bend: Improved Bend-time scaling.
•Punch: PitchUp time adjusted.
•Wave type CY1 & CY2: improved LPF/Timbre envelope.
•Wave type H, P and D now has more organic repetitive behaviour.

, obwohl die nd2 sehr sauber klingt, aber dank distortion und eq sollte das schon gehen...
