Vintage Synth Explorer

Clavia • Nord Lead

One of the most incredible new synths available. It re-defines analog synthesis in a modern synth. Using Virtual Sound Modelling technology the intricate nuances and character of analog synth sounds are beautifully recreated on this amazingly flexible synth.

First of all, it can sound like them all, an ARP 2600 or a Minimoog or a Roland Jupiter. This synth is polyphonic and multitimbral, it has a very flexible filter, LFO and Envelope control, portamento/legato, a great arpeggiator and analog-like dedicated knobs for quick and easy synthesizing!

Everything is MIDI'd up and controllable, there's a great pitch bender and a 'morphing' feature. A performance mode allows certain parameters to be stored with a sound such as unison or poly modes, legato and portamento. It is available as a Keyboard, a Rackmount module and as Virtual PC Software.

This synth is currently in use by lots of artists including Ken Ishii, The Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Cirrus, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Deftones, Mouse on Mars, Maroon 5, Dr. Dre, Laurent Garnier, ATB, The Prodigy, Autechre, Astral Projection, Boom Boom Satellites, Fluke, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM and Underworld.

In response to the MK II being thinner and weaker sounding how have you come to this conclusion? I do not own either one, yet. I can't make that same conclusion because the sound samples that are posted on this website aren't the same.

"mk2 - thinner and weaker , more features......
mk thinner and weaker still ! ......more features"



More features yes..... but weaker???check your ears dude,they all have the same sound chips,and sound identical the output convertors maybe sound cleaner but soundwise patches on the Nord 1 sound the same on the Nord 2x,and you can dump mk1 patches directly from the MK1 into the 2X,
