A Nord Modular plugin would not be so burdensome on the R&D fellas at Clavia... I mean, half the work is done. They'd need a nice GUI (similar to Reaktor) so your creations can have virtual "knobs", "sliders" and the like. U-he have certainly proven it possible (ACE, Bazille, and to a certain extent Zebra)...

Oh, but how quickly would that have you buying the latest and greatest umpteen-core Mac Pro to power all your virtual-modular beasts???

Since Reaktor has been tossed around as a bit of a competitor in this market space, I would point out that Reaktor is surprisingly CPU friendly when run on newer machines.

Modular appears not an end for Roland but more of a new beginning.

no no no NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ^$*&$^*$%*&#!
that was my response this morning when I switched on my nord modular G2... no midi response.. no audio.. no editor connecting to it.. not recognized at all... no...
it worked yesterday, today it just didn't come alive..
though lately, the usb-connection was lost more often and often..

for audio-heaven's sake clavia.... bring out another modular! The ultimate tool between computer, midi, 19" 6.35mm jack hardware and eurorack modular 3.5mm

Wow sorry to hear that, fellow. I hope you'll be able to have it repaired...

+1 for a New Clavia Nord Modular !

There is a modular revolution going on, please Clavia, don't ignore it, you can do it, a New, Nord Modular for 2015 and beyond would be Awesome.

Just arrived and works great, Linux, Windows, Mac. Maybe someday someone makes a patch converter from NM patches.
The market trend for synths goes more and more into modular and vintage. Too bad that Clavia won't re-release the modular or makes it open source HW/SW wise
It is not a matter of can do. If one person can do this soft and hardware wise, perhaps Clavia can start an Indigogo project for a Micro/G1/G2 re-release.
Make it financially break-even just for the sake of promotion for the name & brand (and modular enthusiasts and sound design education).

What do you guys think of this idea: Nord releases the Modular G2 (or G3 if they want to do some updating) as a VST. (Maybe they can work out a deal with Arturia if they don't want to do it themselves.)

I think that would be a phenomenal way for Nord to capitalize on a lot of work that's already been done and making it available to a very interested public who now have computers that can run the software, and who have now caught up with a product that was far ahead of its time.

Then, if it's a success, they could consider creating a Nord Modular G3 with greatly enhanced DSP capacity, to which you could download your VST patches and then take it on the road. The keyboards could (externally anyway) pretty much reproduce the design of the G2 series.

Just trying to visualize ways for this wonderful product to continue forward.

Reaktor 6 looks interesting and disappointing at the same time

I don't use Reaktor, and have never programmed anything in Reaktor. A new Nord Modular G3, or a VST version of the NL-Modular would be super cool.

anyways, Now that Reaktor 6 is out, what is the disappointing part about it that you are referring to ? and how different is Reaktor 6 to NL Modular sonically ?

So please tell, is it good? Were you able to build something interesting?
