NORD MODULAR G2 V1.4x 10. Technical reference: Signal types in a Patch
Page 135
The Clock generator is an example of a module which sends logic signals. A logic signal is in essence a
unipolar control signal, but a logic output on a module can produce two possible values only (named
states):
LOW
(0 units) and
HIGH
(+64 units).
The types of output signals of each module in the Nord Modular G2 are described in this manual using
the definitions: bipolar, unipolar and logic.

Audio signals are bipolar as described above and are sent from red outputs. The audio signals in the Nord
Modular G2 are 24-bit at 96 kHz sampling frequency for extremely high quality, and they have highest
priority in the Sound engine. Note that the G2 is designed in a way that it will never drop not even a single
audio sample at its 96kHz sample rate. Audio connectors are distinguished by the red color. Do not let
the description “audio” stop you from experimenting with these signals. They can be used to modulate
things too. You can, for example, patch the red audio output from an oscillator to a blue Pitch input of
another oscillator.

BLUE
CONNECTORS
Control signals are sent from the blue outputs on envelope generators, LFOs, the keyboard, sequencers etc.
The control signals can be either unipolar or bipolar, which defines whther a modulation will sweep in
only one direction, e.g. only upwards, or swing both upwards and downwards. Control signals are used
to control or modulate parameters in a Patch. The control signals are 24-bit at 24 kHz sampling
frequency, i.e. a quarter of the audio signal bandwidth. This is because they are often low-frequency
signals by nature, and do not require a high bandwidth. The control signal connectors are distinguished
by the blue color. Still, the 24kHz sample rate on blue module outputs is high enough for the blue signals
to be used as audio signals, although sonically they will have a slightly ‘LoFi’ character. Many modules
have blue input and output connectors by default, e.g. all mixer modules. Connecting a red signal to a
blue input will change all the inputs and outputs of most blue modules to a red color and the modules
will change to work at the 96kHz audio sample rate.

CONNECTORS
Logic or Gate signals are mainly used to clock, trigger or gate musical events, like signalling that a key is
pressed on the keyboard and a new note must be played. Or telling a sequencer that it must advance to
the next step in the sequenced pattern.
Gate signals have two possible levels,
LOW
(0 units) or
HIGH
(+64 units). Amongst musicians the names
Gate and Trigger signal are commonly used for the signals that cause a new note to be played. But these
signals can be used for many other purposes as well, and can be processed in ways similar to the mixing
and processing of audio and modulation signals. The names Logic and combining are used when processing
signals that can only be
HIGH
or
LOW
, just like the name mixing is used when audio signals are added
together.
Gate and Trigger signals are good examples for Logic signals. So, if in the rest of this manual there is a
reference to Logic signals, simply remember the common keyboard Gate signal and how it can be
HIGH
or
LOW
and set other things in motion. And read Gate or Trigger instead of Logic, if this makes things
more clear to you.

OUTPUTS
Logic signals are sent from yellow or orange outputs. The Logic signals can use either 24 kHz (yellow) or 96
kHz (orange) bandwidth depending on application and actually do use the 24-bit resolution, meaning that
they can be scaled down to an ‘analog’ value by e.g. a mixer. Logic signal output connectors are
distinguished by the yellow or orange color, which means that a yellow or orange output can only produce
