3. Getting started
of the Keyboard Voice module. Click and drag the cursor to the yellow Gate input of the 'ADSR-
Env1' module.
A yellow cable appears between the two connections. If you play on Nord Modular (via the keyboard
or MIDI I
), the envelope Gate LED lights up and the patch will sound.

11.Now, let's add an 'LFOA' module from the LFO tab to the patch. Connect a cable between the
square, blue output of the 'LFOA1' module, to the red, circular Pitch input of the 'OscA1' module.
Play the Nord Modular and turn the Pitch input attenuator knob next to the input of 'OscA1' by
click-holding and moving the mouse. This makes 'LFOA1' modulate the pitch of the oscillator, add-
ing vibrato to the patch. Your patch should look something like this:
If you like, you can connect a new cable from the Pitch input of the 'OscA1' module, to the circular,
red input in the Pulse Width section, located to the right in the same module. This will route the LFO
to both the Pitch and the PWM inputs. Select the square wave on the oscillator waveform selector and
turn up the modulation attenuator knob, next to the PWM input. Also, increase the cutoff frequency
of the 'FilterF' a bit to make the sound brighter. (One single modulator can be connected to several
different destinations, either by making a "branch connection" from the original output to every in-
put, or by making a serial connection from the first input to the second input, to the third etc.)
12.Now that we are satisfied with the modules and connections, let's make the patch polyphonic. Since
all modules are used in the Poly Voice Area, it is possible to play the patch polyphonically. Locate the
Voices buttons, to the right of the Patch name display box in the toolbar. Set the requested number
