Erasure Ship Of Fools synth cover Clavia Nord Modular G1 Atari ST Steinberg Cubase

All drum and synth sounds produced simultaneously by the Nord Modular without any multitracking. Created using 4 sound patches on my Clavia Nord Modular G1 (with DSP Expansion) and sequenced in Steinberg Cubase 3.1 on my old Atari ST. Nord Modular Patches:- Slot A = Drums (CPU = 83.8% Poly = 1) Slot B = Bassline and Pulse Width Guitar (CPU = 67% Poly = 5) Slot C = FM Trumpet and Main Melody (CPU = 45.9% Poly = 8) Slot D = Pad and Bells (CPU = 31.4% Poly = 5) My Soundcraft mixer is set to the following effects for the Nord Modulars audio outputs:- Outputs A B = Short gate reverb Outputs C D = Large Hall reverb The Nord Modular G1 is 16 note polyphonic (32 with the DSP expansion) and can play 4 patches at once (in Slot A, B, C and D), but when 3 or 4 patches are used simultaneously, the polyphony can quickly drop to just 1 or 2 notes per patch, depending on the complexity and CPU load of each sound patch. The audio outputs of the Nord Modular completely mute for almost 1 second whenever a new patch is loaded, so it’s not possible to use MIDI program change messages to switch between sounds once Cubase starts playing back, so all the drum and synth sounds (13 sounds in total) have to fit into the 4 sound patches, by using as few sound modules as possible to keep the balance between low CPU load and usable polyphony. #erasure #nordmodular #synthcover #atari #atarist #clavia​ #nord​​ #modular #steinberg​ #cubase #midi​ #sequencer​ #synth #instrumental
