Throw a sympathy bone to your modular heads. Come on Clavia, you've got the organists and pianists happy. You could make some people very happy if you'd consider any or all of these options. virtual environment, mixed with your hardware which outputs usable control voltages for use with modular gear. Whilst expressing my dreams, one more please a Modular G3CV. I urge you to please consider supporting the existing hardware you have out there, or consider opening it up so your enthusiastic and intelligent user base could continue to support and develop for it. The world has caught up to your mad scientist vision for modular synthesis. Instead, I've moved into the eurorack domain. But in the past few years you have lost at least $5000 USD in sales that I might have made with you if you had a vibrant modular lineup. I've been a Clavia supporter from day one. I sold my original Nord Lead as it was limited in the sounds it could generate. I still daily use my fully expanded Modular G1 keyboard, and Modular G2X keyboard. "Please consider supporting your Nord Modular legacy. I mean my letter, it's perfect, and they will give me what I want. Well, the new open source operating systems for the G1 and G2 should be out any day now along with the G3CV. Thanks for the suggestion and link fisherking111. Or maybe someone else lurking in this forum who just happens to have the desire, skillset and experience to change the shape of electronic music with something we haven't seen before. I vote for Mung0 to create the spiritual successor to this great line of virtual modular synths!! The Micro/G1/G2 are going to be looked back upon the way Buchlas, and Prophets were once those and other companies stopped production of their classic stuff and the DX7 took over for a while.īut do we really have to wait 20 years to see a revival in a DSP based, super-modular performance synth for under 3k? Aleph is aimed at (physical) modular heads, sonic core is aimed at producers/engineers, Kyma is aimed at sound designers, Arturia Origin is pretty out there in what it can do, but doesn't go nearly as deep/basic as the Nords. No other company has even attempted anything that seems at all similar to the Nord Modulars (IMO). but the modular-minded community is WAY more vibrant it has been in the past 30 years right now, it seems! Obviously, they will always make more money catering to those wanting realistic organ and piano emulations. How could Nord really think they would lose money on a well designed G3? There is nothing like the nord modulars it seems, and the fact they are still so revered years later, vibrant communities of users are updating the software, dozens of new youtube videos every month, Rashad Becker just made one of the most futuristic "modular sounding" albums ever using the G1 as a primary source. That would be incredibly useful for so many reasons. Something with DC coupled jacks to easily interface with hardware modulars. Imagine a device like NM with open source code.
NORD MODULAR DX7 PATCHES SOFTWARE
Is there anything relevant out there? Or maybe there is a way to wire up something like a Raspberry Pi just to run music software and hook up a hardware interface to it? Or maybe I should quit bitching and get a shitty Windows laptop just for programming the NM? The NM has 18 knobs, can stand alone, can use a MIDI keyboard - that is all good. I'm not into having a laptop on stage, and it'd probably get all gummed up with fog juice after the first 3 shows anyway. I'm sure there's software you could do this with. Also I imagine DSP has come a long way since this was released? Obviously the NM has all the issues with unmaintained software - I don't love the idea of carrying an extra, outdated laptop on tour just to edit patches. is there something more recent that has similar functionality? Unfortunately, the NM I bought has some problems & will likely be returned (Slot D doesn't work, rotary encoder doesn't work). I love the idea of doing complex logic patches without need 8xS+H modules or whatever. The workflow of creating patches on laptop, loading them to a standalone instrument, and recalling patches with the press of a button - that seems great. I recently bought a Nord Modular (G1 rack) with these thoughts in mind. It's also stressful playing gigs where you're one drunk asshole away from a flying beer spraying yr modular. If you're in a band & need to get radically different patches between songs, or even during one song, it's hard. I love hardware modulars, but in some contexts it's a real bitch to pull off. I've been thinking a lot about live performance constraints.
