Nord Modular Comparison Chart

A $300 Nord Modular recently came up for sale. I always wanted one but I put it on hold as I figured I'd get the G2 instead. But at $300 I decided maybe I should go for it. I checked out the Clavia site and couldn't find a comparison chart. I wanted to know if the Nord Modular and G2 were totally different in sound character or if the G2 was built off of the first generation modular. Like the Nord Lead 2 is built off of the original Nord Lead, but the Nord Lead 3 was redesigned from the gound up - totally new software. Well, I haven't found the definitive answer yet, but I have found some interesting bits.

1. Title link takes you to a comparison chart (thanks Wout!)


2. You can't upload Nord Modular 1 patches into the G2


3. The Nord Modular classic has a Filter Bank and Spectrum OSC that the G2 does not have (thanks to Vincent and fizmo)


4. Vincent who has both hasn't had a chance to fully compare them, but he said they do sound different


5. The G2 can send it's sequencer data via MIDI so you can build sequencers to control external gear. The original can't

This above is just a short list. Check out the title link for a more comprehensive list. Regarding the $300 Nord Modular I found. Looks like four others beat me to it. Oh well, another day...
