No need to search the web, just read the Nord A1(R) specifications page on the Nord website: you will see that the A1R has no CV in/out (not strange being a fully digital synth, btw) but "only" MIDI

You could see if it is worth getting a MIDI-to-CV box. Kenton offers a couple of models, however they are not cheap.

You could just use one of the Pro 2's midi outs to control the A1r from the sequencer but I imagine you are aware of that...
Is it the modulation you are after?
Congrats on the Pro 2, quite possibly the best synth ever in my opinion!

The Pro 2 is just the same but for the fact it is essentially a mono synth, capable of paraphony.
You just need one midi channel and a stereo out and you can get going...
It is a very complex beast though, simple to use but capable of so much, the arp and sequencer deliver it into modular territory, it is desert island gold.
I got mine so cheap from a guy I could not believe my luck, truly stunning. I don't even mind the wooden cheeks!

If you are stuck, the best thing to do is have some one on one quality time...
Plug in the power and headphones and sit it on your lap. No mixer, no other synths/modules or fx.
If you wake up late the next day, don't be surprised!

There are 2 forums also to check out for some reading but the manual is useful too!

This is worth a read also as it may put it in perspective for you, bare in mind it has been updated since, seq midi out for example!

Stick with it because it really is a great synth...
