8. Working with the synth: Patch parameter Variations

complete setup of parameters - usually called a “Program”. A Variation in the Nord Modular G2 is exactly
the same but is based on a Patch instead.

There are some things in the Patch that can’t be changed for different Variations: the number of modules,
cable connections and functions in drop-down selectors, such as the waveform selectors of Oscillator C
and D, for example. This is because when the above mentioned things are changed, the Sound engine has
to recalculate the whole Patch and thus cause a brief moment of silence. Since Variation changes should
be “glitch free”, these restrictions are necessary. If you want to be able to switch Oscillator waveforms
between Variations, use modules with radio buttons instead, Oscillator A, B and ShpA, for example. The
same goes for some of the LFO modules.

1. Load a Patch in a Slot. The
V
ARIATION
1 LED
lights up.
2. Create a new Variation by pressing the
V
ARIATION
2
button. The
V
ARIATION
2 LED
lights up to
indicate it’s now the focused Variation.
3. Change the settings on a couple of parameters in
the Patch either by using the
P
ARAMETER
P
AGES
buttons and turning the
A
SSIGNABLE
K
NOBS
or by
entering Patch Edit mode by pressing the
P
ATCH
button and navigating to the parameters.
Note
that modules that have a drop-down selector, for
example Oscillator C and LFO B, can only have a
single waveform for all eight Variations as described above.
4. Now, press the
V
ARIATION
1
button again to put Variation 1 in focus. The parameters you changed
now revert to their original settings.
If you want to have more Variations in your Patch, simply press another
V
ARIATION
button and change
parameter settings. Each Patch contains eight different Variations. When you store your Patch, all Vari-
ations will automatically be saved together with the Patch.

button that you want to copy parameters from. Then hold down
S

(Paste) and press the destination
V
