Hi ! I have never posted there but some people may remember me from the NM mailing list. I am currently a professor of Mathematics at the Lycée Sainte-Geneviève in France and I practice synthesizers as a hobby. Got my first MicroModular back in 1999.

Here's a recording of a recent live performance by myself and a former student of mine. This took place at the opening of the annual classical music concert performed by our students in the Lycée's chapel (you will notice the distinctive massive natural reverberation of the place).

http://dsp.prod.free.fr/Concert/Audio/0403O2remaster.mp3

The main sounds come from 3 Nord Modulars :
one G2X, one G2 and one NM classic. An Ultranova was used for some additional sounds, and the Mellotron choir sound from the last part is played from a Roland XV-5050 module. We used additional delay effects from the 01V96 mixing desk. No external sequencer was involved.

The picture below is taken from the last rehearsal session:

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

The main organ sound involves a tweaked version of Per Blom's BBD chorus from his Solina patch (thanks a lot for that superb patch, Per!), and the lead sound from Oxygene part 2 borrows some elements of the "Back to 73" factory sound. Apart from that, all the patches have been built from scratch. I will upload some of them soon.[/img]

This is very impressive. Beautiful performance.

Who were you on the old NM list?

Lycée Sainte-Geneviève - sounds like a great place; my daughter is named Genevieve, but she isn't a saint. Smile

Thanks for posting this.

I'm having a bit of a JMJ renaissance at the moment, and wanted to say how great this sounds! Excellent emulation. Heartening to know that the humble Nord is still an excellent low-cost alternative to a VCS3! Well done! Very Happy

I find the Nord an alternative for so many synths. Smile

I will never sell my G2 Engine! Smile To think I was a bit apprehensive about buying it in 2005 as all I could find were "Techno and House" demos on the net (not quite my cup of tea Smile ) but I took a punt as it was a bargain price, and could not be without it.

I finally got the time last night to check these sounds out on the G2. They are great. Very Happy

The E310U Oxy1 Delay really astounded me for its authenticity, and a great testament for how versatile the G2 is!

A note for other people trying them out (I may be stating the obvious, but it baffled me for a little while). A lot of sounds when loaded didn't appear to make a sound on my system where I only have outputs 1/2 connected to my mixer. When I looked further I found that a number of the patches are set to use the 3/4 outputs, and once I selected 1/2 on the output module, I was away making noises!

Thank you Derek.

And sorry for not stating that the 3/4 outputs were heavily used!
I will update the patches whenever I can!

No worries, Very Happy

And something I've learnt to check for when auditioning other patches. Very Happy

Here's another video from a recent performance with a smaller crowd (50 persons). Still a Jarre cover (I also play other stuff Wink). This time around the tune is Chronologie part 6.



I will upload the patches tomorrow.

Still one G2X, one G2 with expansion board, but now there is an additional Nord Wave to play the choir sound and the accordion solo sound.
No external FX. The accordion solo sound should have been doubled by a strings sound (played from the G2), sadly the Midi cable that connected the Wave to the top G2 went down.

Basically, all the programmed patterns come from the G2X, the other keyboards being used exclusively for live playing. The evolution of the programmed patterns is controlled by manually switching between variations (variation 1 is the first part, variation 2 is the break, variation 3 the second part and variation 4 is the outro), while the bassline and arpeggios are transposed by using the pedal keyboard as a Midi controller: in each of the bass and arpeggio patch, there are four sequencers running in parallel!

Here are my G2X and G2 performances.
The G2 performance is made up of the pad and strings solo sounds.
The G2X performance contains all rythmic elements,
the bassline, sequences and arpeggios, and the special FX.
The choir and accordion solo sound should be played on external equipment (I would be glad to here a nice accordion solo sound
on the G2, though).

Watch out : the G2X performance uses all four outputs !

The song is played by :
(1) Manually switching between variations 1->4.
(2) Manually transposing the bassline/sequenceline/arpeggio line, thanks to the keyboard (preferably, I use an external bass pedal keyboard).
(3) Switching the different elements on the front panel
(Kick, Hihat, Sequence, Percussion, Acc seq, Arp seq).
(4) The sound FX can be played with the sustain and control pedal, or, alternatively, on the keyboard (key C5 for the noise going down, and key C6 for the noise going up).

Variation 1 : first half of the tune
Variation 2 : the bridge
Variation 3 : the second half (with the accordion solo)
Variation 4 : the outro.

Transposing the bassline and sequences on the keyboard:
On variation 1, C1, F1 and G1 keys
On variation 3, C2, Ab1, F1 and G1 (in that order).

Use the mod wheel to open/close the filter of the bass sound.

Enjoy!!

Here's a new performance: the first leg of Magnetic Fields part 1.
All the sounds come from the G2X and the G2, with the exception of the choir sound which is played on the Nord Wave.

Patches will follow soon. Enjoy!
