The
Nord Modular G2
With
the Nord Modular G2, Clavia has introduced a truly innovative
modular synthesizer platform with focus on live performance
features. The G2 platform comes in two "parts":
the hardware synthesizer and the graphical PC Patch Editor.
The Nord Modular G2 features an extensive amount of powerful
and exciting synthesizer building blocks that may be patched
and edited from the intuitive and elegant Modular G2 Patch
Editor software. Once you have created your patches in the
Editor program you can store everything in the G2 synthesizer
for live performance use and editing from the flexible and
intuitive synth front panel.
OS
and Editor V1.10 features Master/MIDI Clock Sync of LFO
and Audio Delay times and number of bug fixes and improvements.
With V1.10 comes also a new Factory Sound Library with new
great patches and Performances (multi-patch setups). The
Nord Modular G2 V1.10 Update and new Factory Sound Library
can be downloaded at www.clavia.se,
free of charge!
At
the same time, Clavia also announces the Voice Expansion
board for the G2. The Voice Expansion board makes it possible
to expand the polyphony in your G2 patches to twice the
original. The Voice Expansion board features four extra
DSPs and RAM circuits and is very easy to install in the
G2. The Voice Expansion board will also be compatible with
the soon to be released rack mountable Nord Modular G2 Engine.
