Nord Rack 2 Tutorial - Virtual Analog Synthesizer

Музыка

Here's a tutorial for the Nord Rack 2, still going strong over almost 3 decades. This was the third synth I bought, and I still think it has its own special sound. This tutorial is aimed at beginners, so feel free to skip around if you're already familiar with the basics of synthesis.

I filmed this video in Dutch last week, but I decided to translate it as more people might find it useful to see an overview of the Clavia Nord Rack 2 synthesizer.

    thank you! we want more. for example - how to make percusive sounds (not the percusive mode but to make perc synth - kicks, snares..) how to make fat basslines. just bought this synth. pathes are ok but too oldschool. but after tweaking become interesting. sound of this synth is so nice. so big and fat there not many nord rack videos on you tube. so thabk you for that

    Thanks for this. I always knew the theory, but never the application on my 2x, which I've owned (embarrassingly) for 18 years.

    Nothing embarassing about that, this synth has so many features, I often forget half of it 😅

    Sure will do 😀 I think I'll make a separate video about the drum mode as you can do very cool things with just that alone

    @@optoproductions That sounds really great. Another thing that could really help users of this synth is a video on the "boring stuff". Like the 4 parts and then performances, copy and paste and save, the menus, midi sync for arpeggios, midi cc and other stuff like this which is arguably the most difficult part of the synth to learn. Thanks for responding - Looks like you have a lot of good videos on your channel I'll be taking a look at.

    Hey there! Thanks for posting this, I have a question about the unit itself, do you know if the power supply inside is modular? IE, it can be swapped to different voltages without adaptors?

    How do you tempo sync the arp to your project etc? I have a problem with a Nord 2 Rack where it sounds like the lfo or the arp is stuck ON constantly and every single patch sounds terrible because of this.. cant turn it off and just play notes and chords.. any suggestions?

  • @optoproductions

    If you send a MIDI clock, you can set the clock division via the shift menu for lfo1 or 2. It's labeled on the right hand side. If you press shift + arp it will Hold the notes forever untill you disable it with shift + arp again. But maybe you're experiencing sticky buttons? Mine is getting old and the buttons need to be cleaned as they don't respond well any more.
