Looking forward to play with this at Superbooth. I remember the Jeskola Buzz plugins. The keybed looks interesting too. What I liked a lot about the later Nord Modular keyboards, were the pitch stick and mod wheels in addition to the keybed. It was very expressive. Also, navigating the encoder layers was very direct and straightforward, without the need of too much mapping grunt work.

Any musicians here that play Clavia Nord? I recently switched to Linux (I am using arch btw ) and it seems that there is no software like the Nord Sample Manager for linux. Anyone got something?

Please boost for reach

It sounds simple, but I enjoy recording patches like this where the gates/events are sequenced in the patch but I can input the notes played on the fly with my MIDI keyboard. This has a 4 voice round-robin for interesting poly chords/progressions.

Hey fellow Linux musicians out there. Anyone playing Nord Clavias keys and got the Nord Sound Manager up and running without VM and windows?

#linuxmusicians #arch #linux #clavia #nord #music

Any #nord #clavia folks around who have a Nord Drum 2 and relevant software? This is getting ridiculous. Why oh why can't the Nord people just use SYSEX for their stuff? Their products support it but NOOOOOOO weird proprietary apps that don't exist anymore are needed. I am looking for an install for the old Nord Drum 2 Manager that has disappeared from the modern web. Alternatively I am looking for the Nord Drum 2 presets in SYSEX format. Nobody seems willing to help on the various forums. 😞

The Synthulator..... An Open Source DSP Chip project to keep synths alive

Project to emulate the Motorola 563xx DSP chipset (new contributors welcome).
The chief goal of the project is to be able to keep numerous past synthesizers based on the chip alive. These include:
Waldorf MW2/XT — Motorola 56303
Waldorf Q — Motorola 56303
Clavia Micro Modular — Motorola 56303
Clavia Nord Modular — Motorola 56303
Nord Lead 3 — 6 Motorola 56362
Nord Modular — 4 Motorola 56303
Novation SuperNova — Motorola 56303
Novation Nova — 5 Motorola 56362 (synth engine), and 1 Motorola 56303 (fx unit)
Access Virus A — Motorola 56303
Access Virus B — Motorola 56311
Access Virus C - Motorola 56362
Access Virus TI - 2x Freescale DSP 56367
Access Virus TI2 - 2x Freescale DSP 56367. Later models used DSP56321
EPROMs for (at least) most of the above can be found here:

Synthesizer ROM archive

I noticed that firmware dump for vintage synth can be incredibly hard to come by unless you know exactly where to look. Most of the time, if you are looking to upgrade or repair your favourite synth, you might find some firmware buried deep in synth forum's while some other seems to only be availabl
