Still in love with the sound of the Clavia Nord Modular? Now it can be virtually yours. Sound Burst Northmood is the sample-based player that plays like the original instrument.

The best patches have been sampled, note by note, sometimes with several velocities, using world-class audio equipment by Focusrite, RME, BSS, Aphex, Mindprint, Creamwere and Lucid Technologies. The result is just astonishing.
