Value For Money :
Excellent
Audience:
Beginners
EDIT: just to say that I confirm my opinion a month later, huge!
I warn you my opinion is not reasonable because I've had this afternoon but I know the basis Clavia Nord Rack 3 coming from and having a lot triturated demo software in recent months, I get to land already known.
I'm not too much to the delight of novelty, to reassure you;]
Integrated power supply does not heat (that's 13 hours of rank one), saw Clavia!
Extensive MIDI implementation and on-demand, there are 8 morph groups: 8 knobs with just understand it can drive 8 X 25 knobs, nothing but already there is much to do.
If necessary we can add controllers and modules noon without pb but is it really useful so have can produce sounds rich and moving to the base?
By patching well with a single knob is made of "miracles" have.
4 multitimbral tracks, four audio inputs and 4 outputs.
It does only good omen for the external treatment, I will update on this.
Especially as compared to the old Nord Modular SLOTS ON THE CABLE CAN THEM Youhou!!
In the synth you can store 32 banks of 128 sounds and 32 banks of 8 performance (performance is actually a synth on each channel / slot so 4 synths up, as on the north lead ).... simply enormous, 3 rack on the north was already impeccable level backup, but there ...
UTILIZATION
Use for improvement in the sense that it would have been able to select the Royal Bank and patches directly on the rack, it is at once required to do so by a midi controller.
The installation went smoothly in 2 minutes, synth recognized immediately in the editor.
Editing is simple or complex ... see very complex depending on how you patch, everything is free so it's huge and awesome.
With this release a good midi controller rack as it comes out now with small screens showing the names of the parameters can be perfect I think for use without a PC.
I bought a paper manual OCCAZ provided, I hope that nine is also provided because it is so, a few months or weeks of potash and testing perspective!
But it is also "instant gratification" starting to patch without reading it with some basics of synthesis, no problem editor is well done
Clavia textbooks are quite nice and complete, this one is no exception except that some modules or examples could be more detailed I find, if not the basics of subtractive synthesis, FM is written for beginners but it will be documented In addition to push a little modular synthesis.
Resources are not lacking for the Nord Modular.

SOUNDS
RrrrrRRRRRRAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, the sound!
Well it's already slap against the North Nack 3 bass that was lacking for my taste are present here a pleasure and suddenly I'd say it sounds even hotter.
(Note that I just let go one analog task, especially in the low to pay me, it's not as big or fat or what we want ... but it's good!)
I tested by putting a simple vco / vcf / env / vca and well ... it sounded cool!
In fact since this afternoon I'm hallucinating the sounds he can produce.
It is always typed keyboard but more punchy and "bassy" the NR3 .... I'm in heaven.
By downloading some patches we quickly realized the scope of sound is wonderful, I already liked a lot the North rack3 despite its delicacy, but here is even better, a step up.
For filters that are very effective BBdreamer I joined just because I like this side of the analogue but the comparison is pointless because I think there are 1000 ways to use and are more varied.
Note that they still ringing in their class do not worry, I was able to compare (EMU 6400, microwaveXT)
The effects here too there are 1000 ways to use them in a very modular and it create more if it does not fit so if the reverb is to be more widely used.
The delays seem to eat a lot of resource on the other hand if we go to two seconds or more.
Effects in themselves are very traditional and lack a bit of fun, but hey it does not matter at all ... we are in a modular.
effects come out of the lot, at least by its name: the scratch, which looks like a pitch shifter, but actually does not sound quite like tt.
I put a 10 steps stolen because it's incredibly rich, the only limits we are with this kind of machine.
OVERALL OPINION
The price / quality ratio is excellent, paid € 600 in OCCAZ slightly more than half the price of an NR3 .... for me that was frustrated by the fixed architecture there's no picture if one is willing to editing on a PC. (This is not death either)
The power of a G2 in a 1U rack paying too much mine as it is small (if not top quality c) is simply HUGE.
