"This is easily the most versatile virtual analog synth on the market.
Similar to the Nord Lead II but with one very important difference: The Nord Lead II has a fixed routing;
the Nord Modular routing is entirely programmable.
Better than a virtual analog synth because of it's flexibility; better than a real analog synth due to parts should they fail,
initial cost, possible repair cost, versatility, and speed of patch change.
Remember all the patch cables? You can edit presets on the computer via the midi jacks found on the back.

================================

With the Nord Modular you are able to construct the “synthesizers of your dreams”. Simply drag synth modules out onto the computer screen, make your connections using “virtual patch cords”, and in no time you’ll have your new synthesizer in front of you.

The innovative and flexible architecture of the Nord Modular allows for extensive sound sculpturing. How about a 5-oscillator-per-note synthesizer with 5 LFO’s, two resonant 24 dB/oct low-pass filters with separate envelopes or maybe a fat string sound with 14 oscillators – in stereo. Move your body to a mega fat bass sequence built up with 4 oscillators and a distorted classic analog lowpass filter in combination with a note sequencer module. Or, why not a classic 6 operator FM patch for that “electric” piano sound or a 24 sine wave oscillator patch for additive synthesis.

All your patches can be stored in the Nord Modular synthesizer and recalled later on – also without a computer connected! Stereo analog inputs open up for extensive sound processing possibilities. 16-band vocoding, anyone? Nord Modular has it all. Your imagination is only the beginning...

=========================
The Nord Modular Keyboard has 4 DSPs as standard ( expanded to 8 with the Nord Modular Voice Expansion Board)
