Technology alone cannot make good music, but provides great means to support the creation of it. Ever since the start in 1983, Clavia has continuously had the ambition to facilitate the lives of musicians, composers and producers. When introducing the first Nord Modular synthesizer in 1997 we took an important step in that process. With the award-winning Nord Modular system you can develop sounds similarly to those created by old analog patch synthesizers. You build up the sound piece by piece on the computer screen in a simple and intuitive way following your desired signal flow. To get a feel for how it works, consider the way a guitarist connects his boxes and pedals.

The G2 provides a wide spectrum of modules spanning from traditional synthesizer building blocks such as oscillators, filters and envelope generators to modern effect processors plus an array of special purpose modules such as vocoder, pitch tracker and physical modeling. You can also build your own unique FX processors and run both internal and external signals through them. Future upgrades will include new modules available for free from www.clavia.se. All together this makes the G2 a powerful tool, enabling you to create totally unique as well as traditional sounds.

Studio or Stage

Although the G2 is a very complex instrument, we don't compromise on simplicity. Technical complexity is essential to the musical possibilities. Simplicity demands a well thought-out user interface. We aim to be functional in a simple way, yet technically fulfilled, which you are about to find out no matter whether you're performing live or work in a studio environment.

The G2 offers a number of previously unavailable opportunities particularly suitable for those of you performing live on stage. Just disconnect your synth from the PC/Mac and use it as a freestanding instrument. Whether you want to play traditional synth patches or control step sequencers in real-time or make cool sounds with delays, reverb and audio processing, the G2 offers plenty of knobs and controllers to tweak! The G2 conforms exactly to your needs letting you assign all controllers, inputs and outputs the way you want them. The fantastic Morph capabilities on the G2 offer enormous sonic variations. The G2's 8 Morph Groups per patch let you control sets of parameters from single internal control sources - and via MIDI. In fact, the Pitch Stick on the G2 can also be used to control an entire Morph Group!

4 analog Audio inputs including an XLR mic input with built-in amplifier give you plenty of room for inserting external signals and patch them! For example, you could plug in four external audio sources (or two stereo if you like) and mix and process the audio through various FX modules of the G2. Or plug in a microphone in the XLR input and use the great vocoder module for vocal adventures. Furthermore, tweaking a step sequencer will be a lot of fun and extremely easy thanks to the real-time editing controls and the visual feedback from the LCD's. The crystal clear 24-bit, 96 kHz A/D and D/A converters on the G2 ensure highest possible audio quality!

Let the G2 become the brain of your studio or your live keyboard rig.
