Why Nords Will Continue to Rule
Nord Modular, the keyboard - simple the most flexable synth on the market today, bar none. We've seen synth after synth in the studio come and go, the modular is a piece of awe and permenant fixture.
The sound is in your face. The audio processing is stunning really as is the DAC's which enable such a thing. Soft, warm, cold, Hard are the split persona; beautiful all in one top top quality box from the laplands.
This synth seems to be relentlessly limitless even after much usage.
You see, Access has all the hype of "waiting to get mine" cos they create their own market, but the synth? It isn't all that. Novation have a the old Roland sound, BUT Reaktor will tear that box up, trust that, they've nailed it! But ya see, Clavia have the skills and knowledge.
They have a whole floor of vintage kit that they use to model the wave forms off of and then programme the module ideas.
We await the Nord Modular 2; wonder, how in the world can they improve? DSP, sample RAM is the guess. Ideas?
(it's late, so i'm sure i've spielllled some wrong)
