Bad Gear x Nord Modular

Welcome to Bad Gear, show about world&most-hated audio tools. There is no shortage of synth manufacturers offering costly top-shelf instruments: PolyBrutes, UDOs, all old stuff but new and even Roland started channeling their inner Teenage Engineering. Today, however, we are going to talk about Nord Modular. This range of digital high-end modular synths was introduced in 1998 and not only is there no modern successor in sight, they also made it incredibly hard to use originals properly. This time it&personal!
