Clavia Nord Lead NL2X 49-Key Virtual Analog Keyboard in very good+ condition. Includes manual on CD and power cable.
Nord Lead
2X - The Rebirth of a Classic
The original Nord Lead
and Nord Lead
2 are among the most popular synthesizers ever built. Used extensively in
studios, on stage and on records by the world's greatest artists, the Nord Leads
have contributed with their characteristic sound on hit song after hit song. And
of course, that's how they want to keep it!
So why change a winning
concept, you may ask? Well, they didn't change the concept - or the sound, for
that matter. Clavia
simply improved the concept and upgraded the hardware to make it possible for
the Virtual Analog sound to live on for many more years to come!
The
Nord Lead
2X has the same characteristic sound and functions as the Nord Lead
2, except for some very nice improvements:
X-tra
polyphony: The Nord Lead
2X comes with 20 voices polyphony -- very useful when creating layered sounds,
"power pads", awesome leads and booming basses. 20 voices are also very
beneficial in sequencing situations when you use more than 1 sound at a
time.
X-tra memory: The Nord Lead 2X comes with a large internal memory
holding 4 x 99 user Programs, 100 user Performances and 4 x 10 user Percussion
Kits plus 6 x 99 factory Programs and 3 x 100 factory Performances! The Nord
Lead 2X is 100% patch compatible with the Nord Lead 2 which means that you can
transfer sounds directly between the models via MIDI.
X-tra high
resolution: The awesome sound in the Nord Lead 2X is refined even further thanks
to the brand new, crystal clear 24-bit DACs running at 96kHz.
Special
Features
Velocity programming: Each function that is controlled by a
knob, can be programmed to be controlled by velocity.
Morphing: Each
function that is controlled by a knob can also be controlled by the modulation
wheel/pedal to continuously fade between 2 sets of values.
Performance Controllers
4-octave velocity sensitive
keyboard.
Octave Shift buttons (+/-2 oct.)
Keyboard Split, 2
sections.
Wooden Pitch Stick, designed to change the pitch continuously
without any dead spots. It gives you complete control of the pitch and allows
you to make true and natural vibrato. The effect increases exponentially as you
move it further from the center. Patent pending for the "Pitch
Stick."
Modulation Wheel for modulating a number of selectable
destinations. Looks great, feels great, works great.
1 pedal input for
sustain and 1 for expression pedal.
User Interface
3-digit LED
display, 26 knobs and 27 buttons for program editing.
Oscillator
Section
Oscillator 1 generating sine, triangle, sawtooth or pulse wave
with adjustable width.
Oscillator 2 generating triangle, sawtooth or
pulse (with adjustable width) and can also generate noise with a color control.
Oscillator 2 can be hard synced to oscillator 1.
Linear deep
frequency modulation of Osc 1 from Osc 2.
A wide range of new waveforms
with a strong formant character is achieved with the synchable noise, where
noise can be synched to Osc. 1.
Filter Section
12 dB "2 pole"
lowpass, 24 dB "4 pole" lowpass, bandpass or highpass, Notch + Lowpass.
Cut off, resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by
velocity. ADSR envelope.
Filter keyboard tracking can be set to full,
2/3, 1/3 or off. Filter distortion.
Amplifier Section
ADSR
envelope, gain control.
Modulation Section
LFO 1 generating
triangle, saw, pulse, LF filtered noise and random staircase routed to Osc 1+2,
Osc 2, filter, pulse-width and FM amount.
LFO 2 produces a triangle
waveform, routed to Osc 1 and 2 or amplifier. It also controls the rate for the
arpeggiator.
Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave. Modes: up, down, up/down,
random.
Echo can be set between 1 and 8 repeats.
Modulation
envelope (attack, decay) for Osc 2 pitch, FM amount and pulse width.
Performance Section
Play mode: Poly, legato, mono, unison
mono, unison poly.
Manual mode. Four program slots for layering
possibilities.
Portamento/Auto portamento.
Percussion
Kits
40 user "analog" percussion kits. Each percussion kit holds 8
independent sounds, configured in 8 zones across the keyboard.
Internal Memory
Programs (single sounds): 990 (396 (4 x 99)
user, 594 (6 x 99) factory).
Performances (multi sounds): 400 (100 user,
300 (3 x 100) factory).
Percussion kits (multi zone sounds): 40 (4 x 10)
user.
Audio Out
4 outputs. Each slot can have its own output.
Modes: Stereo, mono and multi-timbral mode. Headphones output. High
resolution, low noise 24-bit DACs running at 96kHz.
MIDI
Features
All control knobs and switches for program editing transmit and
receive Control Change messages.
System exclusive bulk dumps.
One Program/Performance or all Programs/Performances in a bank.
MIDI clock synchronizing LFO 1 and LFO 2/arpeggiator restart.
Triggering of the filter and amplifier envelopes and velocity control
from separate programmable MIDI channel and note numbers.
