Visage Fade To Grey synth cover Clavia Nord Modular G1 Atari ST Steinberg Cubase

All drum and synth sounds produced simultaneously by the Nord Modular without any multi-tracking. This is my attempt at creating a ‘one synth’ cover of Fade To Grey, using only 4 sound patches on my Clavia Nord Modular G1 (with DSP Expansion) and sequenced in Steinberg Cubase 3.1 on my old Atari ST. Nord Modular Patches:- Slot A = Drums (CPU = 96.6% Poly = 1) Slot B = Bassline and Synth-Bell (CPU = 87.4% Poly = 5) Slot C = String-Pad and Intro Melody (CPU = 39.9% Poly = 9) Slot D = Mono-Synth and FM Violin (CPU = 48.7% Poly = 1) Nord Modular Audio Ouputs 1+2 = Dry / No effects 3+4 = Large Hall reverb from my Soundcraft mixer The Nord Modular G1 is 16 note polyphonic (32 with the DSP expansion) and can play 4 patches at once (in Slot A, B, C and D), but when 3 or 4 patches are used simultaneously, the polyphony can quickly drop to just 1 or 2 notes per patch, depending on the complexity and CPU load of each sound patch. The audio outputs of the Nord Modular completely mute for almost 1 second whenever a new patch is loaded, so it’s not possible to use MIDI program change messages to switch between sounds once Cubase starts playing back, so all the drum and synth sounds I created (14 sounds in total) had to fit into the 4 sound patches, by using as few sound modules as possible to keep the balance between low CPU load and usable polyphony. #instrumental
