Clavia LogoInteresting Threads from the mailing list

These articles about the Nord Modular and the use of the Synth are collected from the mailing List, first hosted at Wizzoo, later at Topica then at Code404 and now on electro-music.com.

Not all text given here is pure questions and answers about sounddesign, some are reports about events in which the Nord Modular plays an important role, some are written by researchers on computer techniques and some are just nice to read to have an idea what kind of "crazy" people are part of this community ...
