EXCELENT QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE

Clavia Nord Lead 2XPublished on 12/05/15 at 09:40
I USE IT FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCTION, AS A MID CONTROLLER IS AN EXCELLENT TOOL, BECAUSE THE VELOCITY IS SO ACURATE AND SMOOTH. THE ONLY THING I COULD SAY IS THAT IT'S A LITTE BIT DIFFICULT TO GET MODERN TYPE OF SOUNDS IN IT'S SOUND LIBRARY, BUT IT LET YOU MODIFFY IT PRETTY CLOSE AND SOME TIMES, EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.

UTILIZATION

This is my first synthesizer (I played on until arranger keyboard and piano scene). At first I wanted to take a little synth style Korg R3 or Novation Ultranova and for 400 € more I could have this great value, so I did not hesitate.
Internal programs are varied but excellent. I would say that there may be too (because the selection is really not easy: there is just a red LED display that displays the old numbers only, and to select a program on must do so by either pressing the button "forward" or "backward" - can move 10 by pressing "shift"). It pays to note the numbers of his favorite programs or move them to the first bank of sounds to find them more easily, especially on stage! However, the variety of programs can give a broad idea of ​​the potential of the machine.
What I liked about this synth, besides its color and very beautiful design is the concept a feature: a button. You can edit A to Z existing programs or create a sound from 0 (there is a function for this).

SOUNDS

Varied! Among the existing programs, there are good fats leads, good punchy bass, very nice pads, sets of synthetic strings, brass, so Jump, and even wurli, of rhodes, organs, flutes, ethnic sounds etc..
The performances are very expressive and enhance the arpeggiator, which is not at all easy to tame. It's a shame because it has potential, but it is very hard to set the tempo live (it is adjusted with a knob, so the ear).
I note in particular that this synth has a very powerful grain and can stack up to four sounds split and layer. And especially for amateurs, this synth has dozens of patches of the Prophet 5.
Note that a lot of sounds are typed "vintage" (their name starts with OB, SEQ, Mini, JP, etc..).

OVERALL OPINION

The Nord Lead 2X is a reference (it's 10 years it is still for sale!), Especially for a beginner like me. Once we understood the impact that will have on its Turning particular knob, have fun a lot. Its keyboard is very pleasant to touch and makes you want to play and compose. The fact edit the sounds in real time is very playful.
I think he has an excellent value for money and I can not find him qualities, except for the arpeggiator. But as a creator of sounds, it really is a bomb!

20 voice polyphony, 990 programs ...... new components inside the machine, which gives it a vibrant sounds incredible.
midi in out, 2 x audio output and headphone output for the pedals (2).
a great synth for electronic music ......
49 key characteristics for good ...... go to North lead!

UTILIZATION

This synth is a great ease of use!! access to the oscillators, filters, arpeggiators, is very simple ..... especially when we know what's the point!
from the Novation KS5, I find the ndl2x easier to access, the interface is very intuitive, like a SH101! .. but 20 times more for crushing sounds. SH101 with the potential to transform the sounds are great, but with the ndl2x...…

SOUNDS

The grain is enormous: I am passionate about the music of Detroit (Derrick May, dan curtin duvante .....) and what synth is perfect, the bass is huge and leads are of incredible beauty .... short the sound is there for all styles of music, for sounds have a fishing hell !!!!!
Tip: go try it, that's what I did, and I was immediately seduced / at KS5 Novation: which includes the sounds of dance shit! trance at the con! If you want to do the experiment electronics the possibilities are endless!

OVERALL OPINION

For money is excellent, nine Euro 1300!

buy it on the big ball Atomic!!
