The Nord Modular G2 will also be available as a 19”, 1 unit high, rack mountable synthesizer - the Nord Modular G2 Engine. It comes without the hardware user interface, pedal and mic inputs. Connect the Nord Modular G2 Engine via the USB port to the PC and do all your editing from from the the intuitive and elegant PC Patch Editor. The perfect studio tool!

Extended information

The G2 offers fully assignable Modulation wheel, Pitch Stick and Rotary Encoders to turn, bend and tweak. The 4 separate LCD displays on the front panel give an excellent overview on your patch creation. In fact, the ultra-flexible user interface of the G2 takes real-time editing to a higher level. The G2 offers unique features like: Rotary encoders with circular LED graphs (the LED graphs instantly show the correct values of the parameters you choose); Programmable Parameter Pages (which guide you in your sound editing work and patch creation); Performance Mode (which make it possible to set up your own thrilling multi-patches from the 4 individual synthesizer Slots on the G2). Last, but not least, 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.

Do you want to create your own Reverb, Delay or Physical Modelling? It’s all there. The RAM capabilities in the G2 make it happen. And there’s more: 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!

The new Modular G2 Patch Editor is easy work with. Hook up the G2 to your PC via the USB connection and you're in! The logical architecture and great visual overview, including user-defined coloring of modules and color-coded module groups, make it easy to patch and "lay out" your sounds. Thanks to the real-time USB communication, the G2 immediately responds to your patching and follows your moves. Most of the modules are self-optimizing, meaning that they adapt their bandwidth to the patched signals. This opens up for big patches and greater polyphony. The flexible modules also make it easy to alter functionality without needing to replace modules. But if you want to replace modules, we made that very easy too: replace the module and the cables will "jump" to the corresponding connections on the new module! The Modular G2 Patch Editor comes with more than a hundred great modules ready to be patched! Your imagination is definitely only the beginning!
