anyone know of a retailer that still sells the original? (not the 2x) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or is it worth the extra few hundred for the 2X? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
instructions: 1.buy the rack anyway 2.launch the lead 3.make a track 4.spam it on xlt 5.axcept all the feedback you get. |

whats up obara |
||||||||
|

|
|
if you buy it from the right person second-handed, you get a good piece of machinery for less money in good condition. It's what i would do if i had enough money right now |

Its probly worth the extra for the 2. Extra polyphony and all that, I have a nl3 and I love it. It sounds great, and it has so many usefull features. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where can i hear some of you stuff man? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can't hear the stuff made in the nord. If you want to hear my old computer music stuff click on the link in my profile :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get the 2x... like taxi said... more polyphony, better piece of equipment imho. i own the modular g2 37 keyboard and i fucking love this thing... so many capabilities i never knew could be done with one keyboard and my mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get the 2x, but if you see a nord lead 2 rack (normal) going for the right price then get that. |
||||||||
|

hi there oyvinto: NORSK ! |
||||||||

I was originally going to get one of those, but opted for the lead after carefull consideration. I love it. Nord gear is pure class. :) I am going to be getting a virus c keyboard next ;) Although I went into my neighborhood gear shop yesterday, and they had a DSI poly evolver keyboard!!! I have a little desktop unit, but looking at all the controlls that are all displayed, I got a massive bit of the gearlust again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but dude, you could just recreate the nord lead as a patch on the modular. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, I am saving up for a modular. soon Ill do a quoth face |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
c1vn? is rebirth the only thing you can run? |

I get bored when I am making sounds with a computer screen. The most I will do is some minor recording, editing, and file organization. I wanted all the knobs, all the morph functions, the layout, and the great sound. It really feels like its worth the money. Plus, I would have to have paid $500 more for the g2, or $1000 more for the g2X. I want to be able to program my patches in a minute. I didn't want to invest the time in learning the modular. The lead, everything made instant sense, and hasn't gotten boring at all. And finally, I always see people who are really into programming their modulars, and really into the 'science' of it. I wouldn't become one of those people. The technology of it would be useless to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes and no... the processor sucks... it's such a small computer it only has 400MHz... and i can run FL3 on it. but not rebirth and fl3 at the same time... that would make it chunk. |

how good is the nord lead 2 for making drums/percussive sounds? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The nord lead 2 was kind of set up to be part percussion synthesizer. Here is the sales pitch from the clavia site: Percussion kits 40 user "analog" percussion kits. Each percussion kit holds 8 independent sounds, configured in 8 zones across the keyboard. I don't know how good they sound. I can bet pretty nice. Thats actually an option they seemed to have left out of the NL3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wel im nto really interested in using other peoples sounds, really wanting to see how wide the possibilties are for making my own. its probably good if they have 40 diff kits o_O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and also there's tons i do not know about analogue synthesizers such as the nord lead, lets say i have a bunch of different 'patches', or whatevr you call the setups that you make with the knobs. 'programs'. is it possile for me to play 'em all at once? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. And tweakable. Think about using a really good bassdrum, and then adding a little bit of an LFO on the pitch of the tail end. Give it a good accent. ;) Or snare drums with time synced LFO sample and hold on the filter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. Thats what multitimbral means. Its four part multitimbral, so you can play four different sounds from it at once, sequenced through midi (so you could have three sequences, and one live, or you can do a perfomance, where you have three of the patches played at the same time, and one pre-sequenced). I don't know about the output mode for the NL2, but the NL3 gives me four outs. I can set the first to timbres to the 1 and 2 out in stereo, and then set timbre 3 to out 3 and timbre 4 to out 4. Its really versatile. Its a great inspiring synthesizer. And after you have played with it for about a day, it feels like you have known it your entire life, its so well laid out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could i midi-in to the machine with my PC and control as many sounds as i want and also control the parameters via a program? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the nl3 is just awesome but i cant be spending that kind of money :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. Thats the nature of midi. Any program that sends out midi data should do. You can even sequence channel one with one progam, chanel two with another. multitimbral synthesizers are increadibly efficient. You could even have another person playing the same synthesizer in a different song at the same time, given that you are using a patchbay. Thats beyond what it sounds like you will be using it for, but its possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just to add, the NL2 is also 4 part multitimbral, like the NL3. Only the NL3 has 24 voices of polyphony, where the NL2X only has 20 voices. Each voice is one note that can be played. The way it works is this, generally, when something is mulitimbral, it splits the voices up to the various timbres. If one of the timbres on a 20 voice synth is playing 19 notes, that only leaves one note for the other 3 timbres. But only while those notes are being played. What happens when you max out the voices, is usually the first note that gets hit will drop out. So if you were to hit c on ten octaves, in succession and hold them down, then while you were holding those down, you also hit d on ten octaves and held them down, you would run out of voices. if you were to hit another key while all those keys were being held down, the first key you hit would stop playing. But if you were to hit those notes one at a time, you wouldn't have any notes dropping out like that. |

how limiting would you say is the nl2 versus the nl3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't used it. It seems to have less knobs in the oscilator section. I don't think the NL3 was meant as an upgraded NL2, like the NL2 seems to be for the NL1. It seems to be more of a new nord synthesizer. The NL3 doesn't have certain features, like the percussion kits and stuff. But the LED's are certainly probly the most brilliant edition to any hardware synthsizer I can think of. You can see where everything is, and how it is moving. That coupled with the sound and ease of programming make it worthwhile the steep price. The NL2 should be just as simple to use, minus the LED's. |
||||||||

Another suggestion if you want to get some quality virtual analogue, would be a virus. A virus A rack should go for much less than one of the new TI models, and suposedly they do that analogish sound just as good if not better than a nord. They also allow for something like 99 effects on a sound, and have near infinite modulation settings. |

nl2x should be in the mail this saturday |

Sweet. Have fun with it. Nords are amazing synthesizers. 7000 points. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And by that I mean, I am almost at 7000 points. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right behind you :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just get it and stop teasing us! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why the :(? You are about to get a great synthesizer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah no i was talking about the post count. youre gonna beat me to 7,000 it seems also would like to say youre the most helpful/insightful member of xlt :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) Aw shucks. I just like talking about gear ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have no idea what im doin with this thing, but its awesome. just wish there was a 'create-your-own' you know? the preset drum sounds are mean as fuk but, how would i go about making my own? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll look into it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah man the fucking drums you can make with this are awesome for what you get. im having a hard time making a snare. im thinking to combine two different noises but once i do that i can't program the thing cause 2 channels are taken up! no hi-hats, how do i get around that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is that your current email in your profile? If it is, I have a document released by waldorf about what sounds filters and such go into different drum sounds. Its meant for their attack software, but it can be usefull for just about anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thats my mail in the prof. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would want to ask you a favor. there is this sofsynth called "discodsp" which is meant to be an emulation of the nord lead. it sounds really great - but i'm curious if someone could tell me how much it's similar to the original. sadly of course the soft will never give me the quality of real analog sound nor the "analog feeling" of turning real knobs, however i'm just curious what i miss :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it doesn't really make me do the quoth face :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. Well, with the nord lead three I can hear a similarity, but there is more to the nl3 than the nl2, like with the fm and other modulation options. But discodsp is a lot skinnier sounding |
