UTILIZATION

Everything is on the front. The edition sound is clear, fast and efficient! It is an instrument on which cratif immediately to express environment, it comes out as the user manual for special functions.
The Nordlead is the best synths Designed as I know, it is an instrument "touch".
The pitch wheel is a bit Drout at beginners, but with some practical, high quality you get to add a lot of expressiveness solos.
The quality of manufacture is irrprochable and contrary to what is said before APRS 6 years of use never gave any buttons. The only minor complaint is that the keyboard is a bit "plastic".

SOUNDS

The Nordlead is an extremely versatile sytnh. They excel in all types of sounds: leads, basses (!!!!), excellent sound effects, sound evolution, hybrid sounds ("analogiconumriques"), layers (especially thanks to the filter and the PWM on maodulation LFO), brass, metal sounds ....
The filter is rs successful and gives a lot of PCHE sounds.
I also very much the mode notch filter which gives a color any particulire.
The Nordlead has the personality and sounds that are recognized immediately in a song (see preset n55).

For résumé, the REPRESENTATIVES of honor at his keyboard: raw, sometimes aggressive (in the right direction), dynamic and brilliant trs.

OVERALL OPINION

6 years since I got mine and I've never lass! It is one of the last one Nordlead products (with version 2.7 of the OS). This is a machine that has never let indiffrentes the people I jou.
Do not hesitate the grind in every way to make the most of this little wonder.
Basically a machine that has guts!
