Experience the Nord Modular G2 system without a G2
Now you will be able to experience the Nord Modular G2 demo software. This software will demonstrate a bit of the power of the Nord Modular G2 hardware system. The demo software only hints on the possibilities of the hardware.
This demo program itself is not intended to be used as a musical tool. Of course, the G2 hardware instruments are real professional musical instruments. That is why they are designed as independent hardware instruments with a velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard the acclaimed Clavia pitchstick and modulation wheels, plus a revolutionary new front panel concept. In our view, only hardware can offer rockstable and trouble free operation in a Single Box Solution.
In other words; real musical instruments that you just pick up and take on the road to do a gig or a recording session. Or just to have a good time jamming with your friends. Still, this demo software gives you a good chance to see and hear what those characteristic high quality sounds of the G2 instruments are all about.
