I have just bought a Nord Drum on impulse after playing with it in the store.. its a great little machine!
But then i got a crazy idea and took one of my outputs from the mpc 5000 and plugged it into one of the trigger input.. and it worked like a charm!!
so my first question is: can this damage the nord drum?
Next question.. if no on the first

Should it then be possible to just trigger the thing from the modular or something? I cant see any problem with that.. my main question is more if its healthy for the box

Anyway.. the nord drum are a recommended beast!
Edit: for a more scopified post i have added in a "jam" with the nord drum using the SpaceF T-Delay II with Interpole as feedback insert, used inside a 247 mixer creating a feedback loop on the aux.
