Nord Modular

Nord Modular, an extremely flexible combination of old and new

The Nord Modular family is a series of programmable polyphonic modular synthesizers. The system consists of two parts: the hardware synthesizer and the computer Editor. You create your own synthesizer architecture by patching virtual modules together in the Editor software. The modules are digital models of traditional synthesizer building blocks such as oscillators, filters, envelope generators, audio processors, etc. plus a full array of special purpose modules.

Both the sound generating and graphical information pertaining to the modules are storable in the Nord Modular synthesizer. All of this, together with the assignable front panel knobs, allows the Nord Modular to perform as a stand-alone synthesizer, perfect for live performance. The Modules are 100% software and new modules and functions are constantly added by Clavia in Software Upgrades. New system software upgrades including new modules and additional features are available for download, FREE OF CHARGE, at the Nord Modular Update page. There is also a voice expansion available for the Nord Modular Keyboard and Rack, which doubles the amount of voices.
