China Conservatory of Music chooses Nord Modular synthesizer for synthesis education

Clavia is pleased to announce that the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing has chosen the Nord Modular synthesizer platform for their synthesis education. China Conservatory of Music is one of nine famous professional music conservatories in China and has more than 1,000 students.

China Conservatory of Music began with electronic music education in the late 80's and recently invested in a big digital music education laboratory and computer music classrooms. After some serious research, they decided to choose the Clavia Nord Modular platform for their synthesis education. They came to the conclusion that the Nord Modular platform is the best system in the world for teaching synthesis technology. Earlier, Berklee College of Music in the USA and the Centre for Art and Culture at the Koorenhuis in The Hague, The Netherlands, also invested in educational systems based on the Nord Modular platform.

Nord Modular background
The Nord Modular family is a series of programmable polyphonic modular synthesizers. The system consists of two parts: the hardware synthesizer and the computer Editor. You create your own synthesizer architecture by patching virtual modules together in the Editor software. The modules are digital models of traditional synthesizer building blocks such as oscillators, filters, envelope generators, audio processors, etc. plus a wide array of special purpose modules.

Both the sound generation and graphical information pertaining to the modules are storable in the Nord Modular synthesizer. All of this, together with the assignable front panel knobs, allows the Nord Modular to perform as a stand-alone synthesizer, perfect for live performances. The Modules are 100% software and new modules and functions are added by Clavia in free software upgrades.

The Nord Modular platform was released in December 1997, and has become a very popular sound tool amongst musicians and sound designers. Four major software updates have been released so far, and version 3.03 features nearly 110 different types of modules. In November 1998, Nord Micro Modular, the younger brother of Nord Modular, saw the light of the day. Micro Modular is built around the same flexible, high-quality concept as the bigger Nord Modular. The lower price of the Micro Modular makes it possible for everyone to explore of the vast possibilities of modular synthesis.
