Clavia Introduces MicroModular Synthesizer

July 10, 1998 -- At NAMM, Clavia introduced the "MicroModular". The unit is essentially a Nord Modular with a single DSP inside. The cabinet is smaller, and has only 4 knobs (1 master volume and 3 programmable) With a MSRP of $900, it should be on the market in October of 1998.

The MicroModular is fully patch compatible with the Nord Modular. Patches designed on the "Big Machine" can be dropped on the "Little Machine" and vice-versa. Expect a maximum polyphony of four voices with the MicroModular.

The machine is setup much like the Nord Modular, with 2 analog inputs, 1 stereo output, and a headphone jack.

The machine comes in at a price point where it may just become the most powerful audio twister around (not having delay lines and reverbs is an issue though). But more importantly, this box could be a great way to get the power and felxibility of Nord Modular without having to spend as much cash.
