INTRODUCTION
First of all we would like to thank you for purchasing this exciting product from WAVESCAPE STUDIO. The
“NORD MODULAR G2 SERIES - VOL. 01. - CLUB LIFE” sample pack for Native Instruments KONTAKT 2
software sampler contains the finest club sounds from Clavia Nord Modular G2 modular synthesizer, carefully
recorded and looped in 24-bit format. Sampler instruments in this pack are designed for the use in pop /
dance/ trance / techno / jazz / house / electro, etc. music productions. We organized the 113 sampler
instruments into XTRA, LEAD, PAD, ARP, BASS categories, see more details below.
WHAT IS SAMPLING?
Sampling is a process where we record sound digitally. Sound goes to an analog to digital converter (A/D conver-
ter) that turns voltages into streams of digital data. This digital data represents a flow of 0 and 1. This way a
sound can be stored at great precision.

DIGITAL WAVEFORM
Two matters influences the accuracy of a digital sound coming from the real world. First is called sample rate,
which is usually 44100 Hz. This means that the A/D converter takes 44100 samples per secundum in quick
succession. Second is the bit-depth, which determines the number of different volume levels. In 16-bit system
the number of possible different volume levels are 65536, in 24-bit system are 16777216. When you play a
sound back, both sample rate and bit-depth define the sound quality.
These digitized waveforms have to be stored somewhere, this space is basically a storage device, like CD-
ROM or hard drive. If you would like to use it, then load these waveforms into the memory of the sampler.
Today's modern software samplers usually use the RAM of the computer itself, hardware samplers always
have a dedicated RAM.
ABOUT THE SAMPLING PROCEDURE
The “NORD MODULAR G2 SERIES - VOL. 01. - CLUB LIFE” collection contains audio samples of the finest
custom-made club sounds from Clavia Nord Modular G2. We payed a lot of attention to every details during
recording and editing. The recording went straight at 24-bit/96 kHz format (maintaining the original internal
resolution of the G2 signal path) and later we converted the samples into 24-bit/48 kHz in order to reduce
CPU load. During recording all the time-based effects (delay/reverb, etc.) of original patches were switched
off. All samples are perfectly looped, so you do not have to worry about muted sounds when playing.
This is a multisampled instrument collection: multisamples are a series of pitched recordings of the original
instrument. Multisamples allow you to enjoy the exact sound of the original instrument without the
annoyance of handling MIDI systems, polyphony limitations, or the high cost of the original instrument. All
Wavescapes Studio multisamples are recorded two samples per octave (C and F#), thus providing clarity and
a faithful representation of the original sound.
