Nord Lead[edit]THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UNIT AS USED BY ART OF TRANCE ON PLATIPUS RECORDS AND CONTAINS MANY OF THIER ORIGINAL PATCHES !!Nord Rack (rack version of Nord Lead)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 supported four notes of polyphony, but could be expanded to twelve via an expansion board.[4]Nord Lead 2xManufactured by ClaviaDates 1995 –Technical specificationsPolyphony Nord Lead: 4 (12 expanded)Nord Lead 2: 16Nord Lead 2X: 20Nord Lead 3: 24Nord Lead 4: 20Timbrality 4Oscillator 2 per voiceLFO Triangle / Sawtooth / Square / Random / Sample and HoldSynthesis type Virtual Analog SubtractiveFilter 1 Digital multi-mode filterAttenuator ADSR envelope generatorAftertouch Nord Lead 3 onlyVelocity sensitive YesMemory Nord Lead 1/2: 99 patchesNord Lead 2X: 4 read more
