Clavia Nord Rack 1

Simple but effective.
Connectors: 1 OUT stereo headphones, pedal, and MIDI IN / OUT (maybe on a THROUGH OUT but check because I am not using the THROUGH in my configuration.)
I have a rack with the northern extension of polyphony.
It is supposed to be based on the architecture of a prophet.
It remains despite a VA. But its advantage is its personality and its ergonomics.
Oascillo 2, 2 LFO, 1 ARP, 1 envelope modulation, a filter and an amplifier section.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to take control. It creates fast on this synth.
The little thing to know is silkscreened on the machine.
I have not opened the manual. Here we are light years from the shambles of a virus for editing.

SOUNDS

Sounds appropriate to me perfectly.
I replaced my Ion per a Juno 106 and the north rack. Each is more specialized in its field and for the price of my Ion, I have a result more versatile and better eventually.
The sound is precise, clear, efficient handling, creation easy. It is limited in a sense because he has his personality, but it allows a lot of things. A small variation on a knob can greatly change the sound, so the possibilities are enormous. The pads and the leads are my favorite sounds.
The ARPEGIO is simple but dancing.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it about a year. Some say it sounds cool. I think it sounds today. He is not aggressive in the treble as an Ion and does not sound trance, eurodance as influenza A. Of course by customizing a virus patch can sound differently and in a tone so sweet but the north rack lends itself more easily and readily to my music and my way of composing.
I have or have had: an ESX, a tone, a Monomachine, a juno 106, DX200, a V-Synth and V-synth XT, v1 and v2 Sherman, a Sunsyn.
The north has its place rack in my house!
Passed through a Big Muff Pi Russian or in the Sherman it does not sound all cold. Rather even vintage! And it hard on a strict sequence of leads.
For 300 €, price with my purchase, yes, I do it again this election. The value for money is excellent of course.
