I was one of the first Nord Modular user in germany.
I programmed a lot sound patches for the factory library in the years 1997-1999 and that open many doors for me. You can find my patches with the name 'Marko Ettlich' on the first module.

I had the Nord Modular many years and later the Nord Micro Modular. Happy Times and great memories.
You hear a few demo sounds from the archive (NM demo & demo from different music magazines like keys and keyboards)

Maciek Polak "Remaining exercises For Synthi AKS Solo" - Master 31

video upload by analogia pl

"In 2016 and 2017, while working on the debut album for my band Pin Park, I recorded a few hundred tracks. Around 200 survived the first cut, and that number was eventually trimmed down to 50. These recordings were literally rescued by Marcin Bociński from legatomastering.pl after I had forgotten about them for quite some time.

The setup I used was extremely limited: an EMS Synthi AKS (occasionally a VCS3), an EMS Vocoder 100, and three Boss pedals (looper, reverb, and distortion). Everything was recorded onto a low-quality Zoom device running through a substandard mixer. Each track was captured in a single take with no overdubs, which meant there was no real possibility for mixing. Marcin’s mastering work was nothing short of amazing, bringing these raw recordings to life.

In 2018, Apekwolf Records released 14 of these tracks. The remaining 36 were never made available—until now. Enjoy!"

Herbs and Stones Seeds - mini noise synth

video upload by Herbs and Stones

"Seeds is a DIY noise synth that will be available to build at various workshops."

https://herbs---stones.com/seeds-work...

Seeds is a portable, battery-powered noise synth.

Its operation is based on the improper use of primitive CMOS digital technology: by forcing a linear output from an integrated circuit that operates using Boolean logic, by draining it of current and pushing its inputs to their limits, organic, unpredictable, and never-replicable sounds are achieved.

Seeds is an instrument with a vast array of sounds, designed for research and experimentation.

Technical Specifications:

Power: 4 AA batteries (included in the kit)
Output: Stereo TRS minijack
