Yaay! Being a smelly student lame-oid pays off when u get your student loan in.
i'm only getting £700 for my first installment, but i'm putting it all towards the clavia nord lead 2x.
this should take my tune-making exploits to a higher level...check it out!!!
http://www.clavia.se/pressreleases/nordlead2xannounced.htm sorry for the address...i'll learn how to make a link one day!!

Nord Lead 2x Linky!!!
I was westling between that and a Novation KS-4 back in March. Ended up with the KS-4, mainly because I got to actually play with one and really liked it. Has vocoder, one more oscillator and more effects. Good stuff on the NL2!!

Hey, if you know how to program synths and so on, I can recommend the Nord Modular. The rack version, and to some extent the keyboard version, have really come down in price. The reason is that Clavia is coming out with the next gen modular, the G2, in November. Some people are desperate to get rid of the old.
I have both the micro and the full rack version and now it's quite hard to think about restricting myself to something that has a hardwired signal path. The editing can be simple if you want, but you can also download patches that are so full of wiring, you'll need a few hours to analyze them. You'll need good MIDI connectivity if you want to run the editor and a sequencer at the same time though.
Some other nice things are the vocoder, the step-sequencers and the multi-band compressor patches for external processing.
The modular isn't an instant performance synth like the Nordleads are. It's more of a noodles type of thing. You can do some crazy patching that turn out to final tracks all on their own.
-P

i also thought about the novation, but i have the v-station soft synth, so i thought i should go for something a wee bit different.

Hmm... tempting, but for £700 you could buy a Jupiter 6... which'd still be worth at least £700 if you ever needed to sell it.
But I'm a real analog nut.

well, i got to play with it today...and i was only planning on spending £500 as a maximum.
but the sounds on it are totally jaw-dropping to say the least. the sounds are completely pro.

Yeah I dig Nord's a lot... definetly my favorite VA. I was thinking of looking for a cheap s/h Nord Lead 1 actually...
Got excellent mid-rangey sounds! Really unique pad sounds and things.
Sits really nice in a mix too... unlike things like Absynth! I love Absynth loads, but it's such an arse to get it sitting in a track properly! Need to seriously go to work EQ'ing that thing, always too muddy...

I've heard some people say that DiscoDSP's Discovery VSTI sounds a bit like the nord. It can even import the Nord Lead's patches...

See thats what students do. Jack money away on beer, high living and goods they don't even need. Absolutely appalling. Why should the state pay for University living and all? There is just no excuse. Shocking absolutely shocking.
