The Nord Modular G2 modules are grouped in 15 module groups, which you access by clicking on the
tabs in the toolbar. The modules are visually identified with illustrations. When you place the cursor over
an illustration, a module preview and a brief description appears.
Each time you add a module to a patch, Nord Modular G2 mutes the outputs for a short moment when
it recalculates and optimizes the Sound engine data. Theoretically, you could use up to 254 modules in
each patch, 127 in the Voice Area and 127 in the FX Area, but you will probably run out of Patch Load
before that. It is possible to use several modules of the same type in both Areas of a Patch, except for the
‘FX Input’ module which can only be used in the FX Area.
In this Module Reference chapter, we begin the description of each module group by explaining pa-
rameters that are common for the specific group. If you don’t find descriptions of certain parameters
together with the individual modules, check the module group introduction parts.

This group contains modules that gives you access to incoming keyboard information. You will also find
modules that route audio signals to and from the four physical audio
I

and

jacks of Nord Modular
G2 and modules that allow you to route audio signals between the Voice Area and the FX Area and mod-
ules than route audio signals to the Audio Bus channels, which are shared by all four Slots of the Nord
Modular G2.

There are a number of different audio signal channels in the Nord Modular G2 system. First, you have
4 separate Audio In channels which routes audio signals from the four

jacks of the synth to the four Slots. There are also 4 separate Audio Out channels which are hard-
wired to the four

jacks of the synth. In each Patch you can also route 4 separate audio signals
from the Voice Area to the FX Area (see
).
In addition to these audio signal channels, there are 4 global audio Bus channels which can be shared by
Patches in the four Slots of the synth. In other words, the audio Bus concept makes it possible to send
and receive audio signals internally between Patches in the four Slots. This is especially useful when cre-
ating multi-Slot Performances. The audio Bus channels can freely be used by both the Voice Area and
the FX Area. This means that you could actually route audio back from the FX Area to the Voice Area if
