The Nord Lead is a series of virtual analogsubtractive synthesizers, manufactured by Clavia.

Released in 1994, the original Nord Lead was the digital synthesizer that made the term virtual analog synthesis popular.^[1] The now widely accepted term 'virtual analog', was first coined by Clavia with the release of the Nord Lead.^[2] This synthesizer was distinctive for its red coloration, knob-laden surface and unique pitch-stick and modulation wheel. After the Nord Lead, several updates followed suit; such as the Nord Lead 2, Nord Lead 3, and Nord Lead 2x.

Models[edit]

Nord Lead[edit]

The first Nord Lead was released in 1995 to positive reviews.^[2] It was created with the help of Peter Jubel, who also co-founded Propellerhead Software.^[3] Compared to synthesizers being constructed via analog components, the Nord Lead uses digital signal processors (DSPs) programmed to emulate both Subtractive and analogue FM synthesis (cross-modulation) to reproduce the warmth and richness of a traditional analog sound. The Nord Lead was also unusual for its time in being 'covered in knobs',^[2] which gave the player a direct access to all sound parameters without having to walk through editing menus.

The Nord Lead featured four notes of polyphony. A later hardware upgrade increased the polyphony to twelve voices. Install steam pc on mac wine 2019. The expansion also added PCMCIA card storage of patches and a drum map feature.^[4]

Analog Modeling Synth Clavia Nord Lead 4: 315 images, 16 audio file, 10 videos, 4 user review(s), 3 files to download, 3 news items, 2 prices, 1 discussion dans les forums, 1. The follow-up to Clavia's Nord Lead 3 is not the Nord Lead 4 (well, not yet, anyway), but a beefed-up version of the Nord Lead 2! We find out why, and how it improves on the original. With their Nord Lead 3 (reviewed SOS July 2001), Swedish virtual-analogue pioneers Clavia produced an instrument.

Nord Lead 2[edit]

The Clavia Nord Lead 2 was launched two years after the production of the original Nord Lead. It updated the polyphony from four to 16 voices.^[5]Also added were a ring modulator, OSC 1 sync-able with the white noise generator, Sine waveform added for OSC 1, increased LFO and arpeggiator waveforms and patterns, distortion and 4 individual outputs. Patch storage was also increased. A PCMCIA storage slot was also added.

Nord Lead 3[edit]

The Nord Lead 3 was a more advanced version introduced in 2001, with many new features like 4 operator FM Synthesis (Sinus Modulation),^[6] and an arpeggiator. The most visible new feature was replacing all the control knobs with endless rotary knobs surrounded by a lighted indicating collar to show the current setting. The Nord Lead 3 was however much more expensive than the Nord Lead 2, so the Nord Lead 2 and later Nord Lead 2X was sold in parallel to this flagship product. The Nord Lead 3 was discontinued in 2007, leaving the Nord Lead 2X the only remaining product in the Nord Lead series.

Nord Lead 2X[edit]

In 2003 Clavia introduced the 2X, a refresh of the Nord Lead 2. It included increased polyphony (20 voice), high-resolution 24-bit 96 kHz DACs, and vastly expanded patch memory. The PCMCIA patch storage was removed.^[7] The 2X retains the synthesis engine of its predecessor and consequently its sound characteristics.

Nord Lead 2X Anniversary Edition[edit]

In 2008, Clavia released a special limited edition of the Lead 2X with inverted key colors (black keys and white sharps/flats) and special logos to commemorate the 25-year history of the Clavia company.^[8] Each unit (of only 300) came with an individually numbered certificate.

Nord Lead 4[edit]

In 2013 Clavia announced the Nord Lead 4 at the annual Musikmesse show in Germany.^[9] The new variant boasts an updated sound engine, new filter sections and a 'True Voice Unison' mode which can support up to 4 oscillators simultaneously. Furthermore, similar to the Nord Wave, the Lead 4 has a dedicated FX section featuring reverb, delay, crush and distortion.^[10] The ability to quickly edit sounds whilst performing live is made possible as a result of the new 'variation' controls in which the user can map up to 7 control parameters per program. Also similar to the Nord Wave, the Lead 4 supports MIDI I/O over USB 2.0.

Nord Lead A1[edit]

At NAMM 2014 Clavia announced the Nord Lead A1^[11] The model attempts to make the Nord Lead line accessible to a wider user base, with a new oscillator interface and numerous enhancements intended to facilitate quick and creative sound design.
