Description
Consists of a hardware synthesizer and a PC/Mac software
editor. When connected to each other via USB, the software
editor and the instrument work seamlessly together, perfectly
synchronized.
-
Sound Generation
Modular synthesis - freely configurable sound architecture.
Combine building blocks called Modules into a sound, here
referred to as a Patch. The modules can be connected to each
other in any desired structure, virtually without limitations.
Some modules generate sounds and some of them are processing
sounds (see Sound Modules). The modules support well-known
synthesis techniques such as subtractive, additive, FM,
physical modeling, FX processing or any combination thereof.
-
Sound Hierarchy
Each Patch works as an individual and independent synthesizer.
· A patch is divided into two sections:
The Voice area (VA) holds the polyphonic part of the sound.
The Effect area (FX) holds the monophonic part of the sound.
· 8 Variations per patch let you store and recall multiple,
favorite settings of every patch with the push of a button.
-
Sound Modules
· Over 160 Modules organized in 16 categories: In/Out, Note,
Osc, LFO, Random, Envelope, Shaper, Filter, Mixer, Switch,
Level, Logic, Sequencer, FX, Delay, and MIDI.
(See the complete list of modules for reference on all the
available ones.)
-
Audio Quality
· True 24 bit processing system with 96 kHz sampling rate.
-
Audio Busses
· 4 channels of audio from Voice Area to Effect Area.
· 4 channels of audio between the 4 Patches in a Performance.
· 4 channels/buses of audio to physical Output connectors of
the instrument (freely assignable).
· 4 channels/buses of audio Input.
-
Audio Effects
Totally free configuration of effects and signal routing via
the dedicated Effect Area. Among the available Modules are the
ones usually found in effect processors, such as Reverb, Chorus,
Flanger, EQ, Pitch Shifter, Compressor, Noise Gates and Delays.
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
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. The instrument is
divided into 4 slots (edit buffers A to D) with the possibility
of holding one Patch in each one of them independently, thus up
to 4 patches can sound simultaneously.
Layering/Splitting
Easy assign of layers and split points with the dedicated
buttons on the synth's top panel.
· The G2 lets you work with configurations for MIDI channels,
layers and splits individually for every Slot/Patch. This can
be done either in Patch mode (single) or in Performance mode
(multi).
· With the Split Point button you can create up to 4 split
points either freely assigned or set to the 4 predefined LEDs
along the keyboard.
Polyphony
· Maximum of 32 voices. Depending on complexity (number of
Modules used and how they are combined).
· Minimum for a single Patch is at least 3 voices (4 if the
Effect Area is unused). For G2X or a voice expanded G2, minimum
is 7 voices (8 if the Effect Area is unused).
SOUND STORAGE
Synthesizer
A dynamic file system that contains 6 MB of flash memory
dedicated for Patches and Performances, with the maximum
capacity of holding:
· 32 Banks divided into 128 memory locations for patches.
· 8 Banks divided into 128 locations for performances.
Editor Software
· Built in Patch Browser enables fast access to Patches stored
on the computer hard drive as well as the synthesizer's
internal file system, which simplifies the organization of
files (moving/deleting/adding). Consequently you can store as
many patches and Performances as you want (the only restriction
is the capacity of your computer's hard drive).
· Bank Upload/Download dialog for quick transfers/backups of
complete banks of patches between your computer and synthesizer.
File Size
· Small sized Patch files (an average of 3 kilobytes) make it
easy to share and store patches.
MORPHING
Concept
Clavia's well-known Morphing technology 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.
Available Sources
Modulation Wheel, Velocity, Keyboard Range, Aftertouch, Control
Pedal, Sustain Pedal, Pitch Stick or any of the eight top panel
rotary encoders. (G2X features two extra assignable modulation
wheels.)

Nord Modular, una combinazione estremamente
flessibile di vecchio e nuovo. Nord Modular fu messo sul
mercato nel Dicembre del 1997, ed è divenuto uno strumento per
fare suono molto popolare fra i musicisti ed i creatori di
suoni. Da allora sono stati introdotti quattro importanti
aggiornamenti, e la versione 3.0 presenta quasi 110 differenti
tipi di moduli! Nel Novembre 1998, Nord Micro Modular, il
fratello minore di Nord Modular, ha visto la luce del giorno.
Micro Modular è costruito sullo stesso concetto flessibile e di
alta qualità del Modular più grande. Il basso prezzo del Micro
Modular consente a tutti di esplorare le vaste possibilità
della sintesi modulare.
La famiglia Nord Modular è una serie di sintetizzatori
polifonici modulari programmabili. Il sistema consiste di due
parti: il sintetizzatore (hardware) e l'Editor computerizzato.
Voi create l'architettura del vostro sintetizzatore mettendo
insieme moduli virtuali nel software Editor. I moduli sono
modelli digitali di componenti di sintetizzatori tradizionali,
come oscillatori, filtri, generatori di inviluppo, processori
audio, etc., più una intera gamma di moduli speciali creati
allo scopo.
Sia la generazione del suono che l'informazione grafica
relative ai moduli possono essere immagazzinati nel
sintetizzatore Nord Modular. Tutto ciò, insieme alle manopole
del pannello frontale, consente al Nord Modular di essere usato
come sintetizzatore completo, perfetto per utilizzo dal vivo. I
Moduli sono al 100% software ed i nuovi moduli e funzioni sono
costantemente aggiunti da Clavia in Ampliamenti del Software.
Nuovi aggiornamenti del software di sistema, compresi nuovi
moduli e caratteristiche aggiuntive, sono disponibili per
essere scaricate, GRATIS, alla Nord Modular Update page. E'
disponibile anche una espansione di voce per la Tastiera ed il
Rack Nord Modular, che raddoppia il numero delle voci.
I differenti modelli
La famiglia Nord Modular consiste di tre modelli di hardware:
Nord Modular Key, Nord Modular Rack e Nord Micro Modular. Sono
tutti costruiti sullo stesso tipo di elettronica e usano lo
stesso tipo di DSP. Nord Modular Key e Rack hanno 4 DSP come
standard (e possono essere espansi a 8 con Nord Modular Voice
Expansion Board), e Nord Micro Modular ha 1 DSP (non
espandibile).
Nord Modular Key e Rack (caratteristiche)
Sintetizzatore polifonico modulare programmabile. Minimo 4 voci
espandibili a minimo 8 voci. Massimo 32 voci in dipendenza
della complessità della combinazione. Multi timbricità in 4
parti. Gestisce combinazioni (suoni) e sistema operativo in
memoria Flash. Software aggiornabile via computer.
Immagazzinamento dinamico di combinazioni in 9 gruppi, con 99
siti di memoria. Il numero delle combinazioni che possono
essere immagazzinate dipende dalla loro dimensione (numero dei
moduli usati). Processo interno a 24-bit con frequenza di
campionamento 96 kHz.
Caratteristiche MIDI.
Tutti i parametri, eccetto il livello generale, possono
trasmettere e ricevere messa

Requirements |
|
Macintosh |
Windows |
| Mac G3, 400 MHz, USB-port,
128 MB RAM, OSX 10.2 (or later) |
PC Pentium II, 500 MHz,
USB-port, 128 MB RAM, Windows 98SE/2000/XP |
| The computer is used only
for the purpose of visual patching and sending
instructions to the G2 and has nothing to do with the
processing of sounds. Therefore the computer
requirements are comparably low. |
|
| |
|
|
MIDI IMPLEMENTATION |
External |
· 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. |
| |
|
| Internal |
MIDI can be internally routed
from one slot to an other via internal virtual MIDI
connections (e.g. Slot A sequencers can
play a slot B Patch). |
| |
|
| MIDI Sync |
· MIDI clock sync and song
position pointers let you control Delays, LFO and Sequencer
modules.
· The G2 can function as a master clock for external gear.
|
| |
|
| Extras |
Except for normal MIDI
functions, the G2 can produce and process MIDI information
on any channel (regardless of the Slot's
main channel) through a set of specially designed MIDI
processing Modules. It also supports MIDI
automation of external gear from its front panel using the
module Midi Control Automate. |
