The Nord Modular system consists of two parts. The first part is the synthesizer, which will be called
Nord Modular from now on, and the second part is the software editor, which will be called the Editor.
Nord Modular comes in three different models, Nord Modular Key with a two-octave keyboard, Nord
Modular Rack and Nord Micro Modular. It is possible to load Nord Modular with patches from the Ed-
itor, disconnect it from the computer and then use Nord Modular as a stand-alone instrument.
