Here's the keyboard version of the incredible Nord Modular. When it comes to sound you like, the Nord Modular is the ultimate synth system for you. The system is in 2 parts: the hardware synthesizer and the computer editor. Using your own Windows PC or Macintosh Power PC, you patch virtual modules together in the editing software.
The modules are traditional synth building blocks like oscillators, filters, envelope generators, etc. An array of special modules like audio processors are also included. After your patch has been tweezed to your liking, it's stored in the hardware synth module, and you're good to go. Take the unit with you, and 100 of your patches go along for the ride. Comes in a rack version too.
If you're looking for something a little cheaper (and don't need a keyboard controller), check out the Nord MicroModular — you'll be giving up a lot of polyphony, though. The MicroModular has a maximum of 4 voices, compared to the Nord Modular's 32.

Nord Modular Synthesizer with Keyboard Features


4 Modular synthesizers in one: On the computer screen the user can toggle between 4 separate patches (synthesizers). These 4 patches can be played simultaneously and assigned to 4 independent outputs.
Nord Modular expansion card: An expansion card is available that doubles the capacity of the Nord Modular polyphony to a minimum of 8 voices and maximum 32 voices.
Real-time editing: The Nord Modular can also be used without the editing software as a stand-alone 2-octave synthesizer. You can carry it with you to the gig! Mounted onto the panel are 18 knobs that can be assigned to different parameters. As with the Nord Lead, all editing parameters can be assigned to and controlled through MIDI.
Inputs and outputs: The audio output from each multi-timbral slot is fully assignable to any of the 4 outputs. In the old days there were signal inputs to the modular systems. The Nord Modular offers 2 analog inputs assignable to each of the 4 parts. Insert the signal and patch it!
System description: The Nord Modular system is built around hardware, a 2-octave keyboard or a 19" rack module, and a Mac/PC Software package. Editing options feature all of the classical synth building blocks you might expect. They are all available within the software editor where the user can create patches by first assembling the desired modules on the monitor screen and then drawing virtual cables to make the proper connections.
Memory: 100 Patches can be stored into the Nord Modular internal flash memory. Patches can also be stored onto the computer.
Morphing: The modular offers morphing possibilities in a startingly new way. Four separate morph sources can be set to independently control a group of knob and button parameters in the patch. All 4 morph sources can be simultaneously controlled by any MIDI controller, the Modular assign knobs, key note, and velocity.
Modules: New synth building blocks will be developed, by Clavia, for the Nord Modular.
