THE MODULAR SYSTEM
» Description: Hardware synthesizer and PC/Mac editing software working seamlessly together.
» Sound Generation: Modular synthesis – freely configurable sound architecture. Combine Modules into a Patch (sound) in any desired structure, virtually without limitations.
» Sound Hierarchy: A patch is divided into two sections:
» The Voice area (VA) holds the polyphonic part of the sound.
» The Effect area (FX) holds the monophonic part of the sound.
» 8 Variations per patch for fast recall of favorite settings.
» Sound Modules: Over 160 Modules organized in 16 categories.
» Audio Quality: True 24 bit processing system with 96 kHz sampling rate.
» Audio Effects: Totally free configuration of effects via the dedicated Effect Area.

VOICING
» Performances: A Performance consists of up to 4 Patches together with information about MIDI settings, layers, splits, etc.
» Multitimbrality: Features Clavia’s classical Slot concept. 4 slots (edit buffers A to D), each one holding one Patch independently.
» Splitting: With the Split Point button you can create up to 4 split points either freely assigned or set to the 4 predefined ones indicated by LEDs along the keyboard.
» Polyphony: Maximum of 32 voices (depending on Patch complexity).

SOUND STORAGE
» Synthesizer A dynamic file system (6 MB) with the maximum capacity of holding:
---- 32 Banks divided into 128 memory locations for Patches.
---- 8 Banks divided into 128 locations for Performances.

EDITOR SOFTWARE
» Patch Browser enables fast access to Patches stored on the computer hard drive as well as the internal synthesizer file system.
» Bank Upload/Download dialog for quick transfers/backups of complete banks of patches between your computer and synthesizer.
» Small Patch files sizes (an average of 3 kb) make it easy to share and store.

MORPHING
» Concept Morphing makes it easy to control multiple parameters from one source (e.g. modulation wheel, aftertouch) with the possibility to set the range for each parameter individually.

PARAMETER PAGES
» Concept Parameter Pages give instant access to 120 parameters, either from the synthesizer’s top panel or from the software editor.
» Page Modes:
---- Single Patch mode – Pages are linked to one specific patch.
---- Global mode – Pages control parameters in all 4 slots from the same page.

EDITOR SOFTWARE
» User Interface:
---- A tab system organizes available Modules.
---- Multiple Multi-level Undo/Redo function.
---- Custom color of individual modules for easy overview.
---- Fast replace function for modules, replacing keeps track of connections and parameter settings.
---- Instant Hint views system displays configurations of MIDI CC#s, » » Morph programming and assigned parameters.
» Help System Integrated help system brings you answers to your questions.
» Minimum System Requirements
---- Macintosh: Mac G3, 400 MHz, USB-port, 128 MB RAM, OSX 10.2 (or later)
---- Windows: PC Pentium II, 500 MHz, USB-port, 128 MB RAM, Windows 98SE/2000/XP

MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
» 16 MIDI channels via MIDI In, Out and Thru
» Note On/Off, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Program Change, MIDI CC# (freely assignable to any parameter), SysEx dump and Bank Select
» MIDI Sync - G2 locks to any external MIDI clock and song position pointer.
» G2 can function as a master clock for external gear
» Extras - Can produce and process MIDI information on any channel (regardless of the Slot’s main channel) through a set of specially designed MIDI processing Modules

SYNTHESIZER CONTROLLERS
» Modulation Wheel
» Pitch Stick
» Keyboard - 3 octave synth action with aftertouch.
» Octave Shift
» Keyboard Hold

SYNTHESIZER PANEL
» ParameterPages: 5 page buttons and 3 column buttons provide real-time tweaking of up to 120 parameters with 8 rotary encoders visualized by 4 LCDs.
» Patch/Menu: Rotary Dial and 4 Navigation buttons for rapid access to Navigation, Patches and Performances.
» Slot Control: 4 Slot buttons facilitate working with 4 Patches simultaneously.
» Morphing: 8 buttons support fast programming of Morph Groups.
» Variations: Instant recall of 8 Variations per Patch via 8 dedicated buttons.
» Microphone Level: Mic Level trim and meter for adjusting the microphone signal.
