oh, and they keyboard version is by far the best perfomance synth Ive encountered. The ability to define the lay out, and have 15 different settings for the 8 knobs... gives you so much flexibility. I recently played on a few songs at my friends cd release party, and I set up the nord so that only the functions I needed , were on the front panel. It was so nice. Id love to have a live setup of 4 g2 keyboards... total hands on control |

|
|
yes but nord lead 2x is just a bit cooler |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I disagree. Why do you think so? |
||||||||
|

I'm actually thinking of making a free acid album all on the G2 Demo and upload it somewhere. Wonder if Fah's new acid netlabel is a good place..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
because im getting it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but seriously: it's just the sound i'm looking for i think i'm not much into this modular stuff (yet?) |
||||||||

Get SynthEdit. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i thought max/msp or reaktor? |
||||||||

Synthedit's free and you can make your own VSTs from it. |
||||||||
|

The sound of the modular completely blows away the sound of the lead IMHO. I think the lead sounds cold and thin. Plus you have room to grow once you get bored of the architecture and routing. |
||||||||

So far I have not been impressed with synthedit plugs. They all have a characteristic sound I don't like, and they're not usually very creative. But post a dll and surprise me. I'm always open to new ideas. |
||||||||

I'm finding myself working more inside Synthedit now that outside it. Experiment. I agree that the VCO -> VCF -> VCA routing sounds dull, but that's not the point of SE. I made a filter that sounds half way between a BPF and a flanger by working with it electronically (for a filter you usually take an op-amp for cutoff and use feedback to make the resonance). Due to the CPU speed this made a small delay meaning I got a flanging effect. Add some more delay and it was complete. This is what you have to do! Just try making stuff that shouldn't work, like using sequencers as oscillators or chaining 10 oscillators together, etc. |

hm, and i suppose there is nothing lead can do that g2 can't? except maybe sound different? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally. the G2 comes with patches that copy the NL2/NL3 architecture. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im just a small vst guy trying on hardware for size |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even better case for the g2 then.... you use software with it! makes the transition smoother :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
synthedit sounds tinny and artificial its filters aren't coded well enough |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then don't use its filters, build your own in C++ or using stranger modules in synthedit. Download some homebrew modules. Theres several ways of getting round that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

ill just have to try one out (not just the software demo) i decided on lead only on the first sample here: http://www.clavia.se/MP3s/index.htm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think this modular stuff is not for me as a guitarist i hated setting up my stuff, i won't enjoy making patches |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Talking of hardware synths with a software aspect to them, has anyone had a go with that Virus that has a VST component to it? Any good? I'm not looking to get one, just interested in the idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i read wrong, it's just the g2x that they will stop producing the wave is like a continuation of the lead though, with one oscillator being able to be any wave file instead of just an oscillator tone |
||||||||
|

alright, the samples of the g2 sound amazing when comparing the sound of the lead and the g2 on that site it has to be taken into account though that the samples of the g2 are made by really good musicians and the samples of the lead are just the onboard demo's (there's the misc tracks as well though) but, right now the sound i think i want is that of the lead so what i want to know from you guys is: does g2 emulate the sound of the lead pretty well? maybe even the thinness of that sound and does it offer an interface that emulates that of the lead pretty well? like how you'd modify the oscillators and such for instance. because if i'd get an g2(x) i would want to start out playing it like a lead it's important for me to know because the nord g2x costs another wopping 700 euros more, and is therefor over the mummiefunds (it's a gift my mom saved up on as an incentive for me to finish my studies, aw) btw: the shop has its powercable for the lead g2 missing for a week now, but will have it next week |

there should be more patches in this thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol @ work i kinda know the answers myself: it's just another synth that can do the same, but sounds better nord lead can hold samples though so im not sure yet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't it strange g2 doesn't have a digital i/o btw? (nice lead 2x samples: , i like the All Even Harmonics best) |

I've on to my Twango page. Most of them are acid-based song patches, some are techniques, others are just random. Have fun with them. If you "remix" some of them, please email them/host them back to me so I can listen and play around with them again! Twango's proving to be quite damn useful as a host for files. |

Futureimage- I just downloaded the Mac demo to try these out. For some reason, none of these patches are working on my machine. It's shooting my CPU load over 125% on each of them I'm running a MacIntel 2.33 GHz Core2Duo with 2GB ram. I dont think this should be happening, unless this demo is not universal binary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haven't a clue why that's happening, I know the CPU load is pretty high when the G2s running but it's still workable and I'm using a shite PC with about 60 processes running in the background... Have you tried changing the Audio config in G2? Change the frequency down to 44100 Hz if it isn't already. If it is, I haven't got a clue WTF's going on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think its because the demo is purposefully prone to spiking. That and in OSX it's not running natively. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, well if it's any consolation I'll be recording most of these patches as tracks and uploading them somewhere for free probably. |

Since this is a snyth thread, I have to mention that the VA is fucking astonishing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i think the nord lead sounds warmer than the modular just judging from the samples. |
