This document fills a need for more advanced material beyond what can be found in the Nord Modular manual and in the Wizoo Guide to the Nord Modular (by Peter Gorges and Len Sasso, 2nd edition 2000). While both of these books are excellent introductions for the beginner, more advanced users are left thirsting for more. This document aims to quench this thirst!
In the online web-based document all of the patches shown in the figures can be downloaded by clicking on the associated image. These can be then be examined off-line with the Clavia Nord Modular editor (version 3.0 or higher) or downloaded to an actual Nord Modular. The latter is recommended as you can hear directly the sounds that are being talked about in the text.
Many people have contributed ideas and material to this work. I would especially like to thank Rob Hordijk, Wout Blommers, Jan Punter, Kees van der Maarel, Roland Kuit, Ico Doornekamp, Robin Whittle, Chet Singer, Dave Peck, Sam Streeper, and K. Lex Pattyrson (or whatever his name is) for their contributions and inspiration.
