Nord Modular G2

• Hardware synthesizer and PC/Mac editing software work seamlessly together
• Modular synthesis (freely configurable sound architecture) Combine Modules into a patch in any desired structure, virtually without limitations
• Sound Hierarchy: 
  - The Voice area (VA): polyphonic part of the sound
  - The Effect area (FX): monophonic part of the sound

• 8 Variations per patch
• > 160 Sound Modules organized in 16 categories
• Audio Quality: True 24-bit processing system with 96 kHz sampling rate
• Audio Effects: Totally free configuration of effects via the dedicated Effect Area.

• Performances: A Performance consists of up to 4 Patches together with information about MIDI settings, layers, splits, etc.
• Multitimbrality: Features Clavia’s classical Slot concept. 4 slots (edit buffers A to D), each one holding one Patch independently.

• Splitting: With the Split Point button you can create up to 4 split points either freely assigned or set to the 4 predefined ones indicated by LEDs along the keyboard.

• Polyphony: Maximum of 32 voices (depending on Patch complexity).

• Dynamic file system with a capacity of 6 MB that can hold up to 32 banks (128 locations) for Patches, and 8 banks (128 locations) for Performances.

• Patch Browser enables fast access to Patches stored on the computer hard drive as well as the internal synthesizer file system.

• Bank Upload/Download dialog for quick transfers/backups of complete banks of patches between your computer and synthesizer.

• Small Patch file sizes (an average of 3 kb) make it easy to share and store.

User Interface

• Tab system organizes available Modules
• Multiple Multi-level Undo/Redo function
• Custom color of individual modules
• Fast replace function for modules - keeps track of connections and parameter settings
• Instant Hint views system displays configurations of MIDI CC#s, Morph programming, and assigned parameters
• Integrated Help System.

Requirements (legacy)

• Macintosh - Mac G3, 400 MHz, USB-port, 128 MB RAM, OSX 10.2
• Windows - PC Pentium II, 500 MHz, USB-port, 128 MB RAM, Windows 98SE/2000/XP

• Concept Morphing makes it easy to control multiple parameters from one source (e.g. modulation wheel, aftertouch) with the possibility to set the range for each parameter individually.

• Concept Parameter Pages give instant access to 120 parameters, either from the synthesizer’s top panel or from the software editor.

• Page Modes: Single Patch mode – Pages are linked to one specific patch.
  Global mode – Pages control parameters in all 4 slots from the same page.

• 16 MIDI channels via MIDI In, Out and Thru.
• Note On/Off, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Program Change, MIDI CC# (freely assignable to any parameter), SysEx dump, and Bank Select.
• MIDI Sync: G2 locks to any external MIDI clock and song position pointer.
• G2 can function as a master clock for external gear.
