YEK Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 here's a sample from a 303 patch that i'm working on sounds like you have a leaky studio there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 i'm thinking about a nord. looking for muti timbrality, great sounds, and ease of use. don't want to break the bank... got a ms2000 recently, and i'm kinda disappointed with it.. it's not that powerful. (though the vocoder is nice.) any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 i'm thinking about a nord. looking for muti timbrality, great sounds, and ease of use. don't want to break the bank... got a ms2000 recently, and i'm kinda disappointed with it.. it's not that powerful. (though the vocoder is nice.) any recommendations? Well are you specifically looking for something modular or something notmodular? Ive owned a Nordlead 2, but I sold it mostly because I didn't need the generous polyphony and multi-timbrality that I got from it, and my Micro Modular can be literally a Nord Lead 2 and then a whole bunch of other shit... but minus any polyphony to speak of.... You know enough about this stuff to know what you're getting with the Nordlead series... its VA... it sounds pretty nice... its well built... you could drop by any local shop to hear one and fiddle with it. The Nord Modular series though, I find really really excellent. They're a bit more limited than something like Reaktor, but to my ears they sound a bit more.. distinct... plus I find the slight bit of limitation to spur creativity... Not sure why I'm going on about these though since I don't think you can get any multi-timbrality from any of the Nord Modular series... maybe the G2 I haven't really read up on that....

pylonbitch Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 i don't mind, as long as it has the features i described.. great sounds, ease of use, particularly for live jamming, and multi timprality/good polyphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well certainly then the Nord Modular stuff is probably not it.. no multi timbrality to speak of there... although that's a BIT misleading since you could load up a patch with 6 Osc's or whathave you and route them all totaly differently and have a patch that feels and sounds like more than one sound. I would recommend playing a Nordlead 2x though at you local shop. The sound is very distinct and its very love it or leave it. The built quality will not dissapoint so it will come down to the sound. Certainly though, its well suited for live jamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Actually I lie, the G2 seems to be basically 4 parts multitimbral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten fingers ten toes Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Figured I would dredge this up to share this site: http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~clark/nordmodula...m_book_toc.html Even those of you with super fancy G2's should be able to get some good insight out of this... Really hyper advanced shit in here, including WAY better speech synthesis than I thought was possible with the little red box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrx Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 it's on! make sure you get the latest version of the software(1.40) because the patch mutator is very useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 the install CD actually came with 1.40 installed. Im current :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelican Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Sweet tip on the G2 editor Kcinsu, thats really very cool of them to offer, and its loads of fun to play with. For Iain and anyone else who'd like to hear, here is me playing around with the filters on a droning note playing a patch I made to (very loosely) emulate the Synton Fenix. Note, this means theres a bunch of unused modules laying around (as youll see in the screenshot) but it's really just a fun toy of a patch. Plus having a screen filled with modules makes for a really impressive looking screenshot. Also note, I didn't really do any editing to this file because Im in a rush, so its like two and a half minutes of filter wank. This really doesnt even scratch the surface of the range of sounds the micro mod can do, either. doesn't sound like my fenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcinsu Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 so yeah... I made an impulse ebay bid, and now I will also own a Nord G2 Engine, as soon as it arrives :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Good lord man! What kind of strange interrelated patches can you make for these two new lovebirds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 hehe! I dont think I can make them work together... but Ill be able to play twice as many patches at once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 hehe! I dont think I can make them work together... but Ill be able to play twice as many patches at once! Doesn't the G2 have more extensive MIDI modules tho? I haven't really read on them too much since I didn't have one but I had thought you could do crazy generative poly stuff by inter-working MIDI in's and out's between the two.

kcinsu Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 ah, this is true! I havent really messed with the midi stuff yet, but I think I will now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten fingers ten toes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Sweet, please post the results, I really enjoyed your other generative stuff that you had done with the demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
