Calvia The Nord Modular is a modular synth on the same principle as the old patch analog synth o is plugged full of self-same cables between the oscillators, effects, LFO, VCA ...
Here is the same principle except that the patches are done on computer and take care on the South by Syth.
It possde 2 octaves (MODEL synth), and 18 potentiomtres rotating super quality. There is no pitch wheel and modulation (dommage. ..) but just a push button to move up and down the octaves.
It possde2 audio inputs (line level), which is handy because it allows the use of effects real time. It possde 4 outputs, one connected to a sustain pedals (all this basically jack). It also has an in / out and midi in / out to the computer for shipping (no thru ...).
It runs on 4 Intgr DSP processor (to the DDIS)
Polyphony is limited by the power of DSP based on the used patch. Plus it is more complicated polyphony will be restricted.
UTILIZATION
Edition of the software is relatively easy to use but all the same quite complete. One would expect this software amliorations from Calvia, but since the release of G2, they gave up.
It can work trs prcis sound and can fully Defines the architecture of the synth. The modules provided range from simple oscillator bank sinus through the parliaments of all simple logic (comparator threshold ...). It is much less sr dvelopp that software such as Max MSP but hey, we can not have everything ...
Small default point: there is a lgre mute when switching to another sound. The same applies if you want to add a deuxime's Premire a tablecloth, there is a small interruption of her ...
SOUNDS
The sound of this synth are just great.
The bass is not punchy trs but they are nice and warm. The highs are an incredible precision. This synth does not really sound the call practitioner. It offers several tt ^ a search on the Contents is sound and is the height in terms of quality and precision.
The expression of the keys is satisfying and trs gnral particulirement the rotary pots are really great agrble use.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it now for 2 years and I have yet t dcu. For those seeking a little fiddling in the same structure, which looks a little forcment not produce sound format corresponding architecture synth dj program and can not be changed. Its capabilities are really the most thunderous and the height.
I note however that there is m ^ me quickly Llima by the DSP that saturate quickly, especially as we seek the polyphony (2 voice polyphony ncessitent 2 times more power DSP only).
