Clavia Nord Lead 4 synthesizer for sale in flawless condition.

The Nord Lead 4 is a completely timeless instrument, a virtual analog synthesizer suitable for everything from producing old-school synth sounds to creating fresh and modern electronic dance music. Thanks to its architecture (4 voices, 4 independent outputs, each with its own arpeggiator and effects), complete 'magic' can be created.

The instrument features new performance-oriented functions and advanced layering and synchronization capabilities, guaranteeing it will remain a favorite and top-performing synth in the virtual-analog scene for a long time.

The 4-part multitimbral instrument features two brand-new oscillators with 2x oversampling. Alongside classic analog waveforms, there's a Wavetable mode, which is also an innovation: called formants waveform table.

For sound shaping, FM, hard, and soft sync are available, as well as a true Unison mode (meaning unison no longer takes away from polyphony). It can layer up to 4 voices. Warm.

The filter is 12/24dB, HP, BP, and LP, plus Nord's groundbreaking transistor and diode ladder filter simulation for VA synthesis.

Here's a clever idea: the 'variation' buttons allow storing 7 variations of the same sound. This means you can assign a completely different knob/switch setting to such a button, practically 'clutching' it, for example, to change any parameter of the sound for the duration of a note (e.g., long reverb, or add delay, etc.).

Sounds can be rhythmically modulated, synchronized to the master clock, and layers can sync with each other.

Each part has its own effects: delay, reverb, tube-distorted overdrive, talk effect, and sample rate reducing crush.

To fully enhance live performances and organically mutate the sound, the 'Patch mutator' function is a unique solution: pressing Shift+D morphs and mutates the current sound. This non-existent elsewhere, completely new, innovative modulation option can turn the sound and performance completely upside down. We especially recommend it for experimental and adventurous musicians.

Key Features:

4-part multitimbral synthesizer with 4 independent outputs for all 4 voices
49 velocity-sensitive keys
20 voices of polyphony
2-oscillator virtual analog subtractive synthesis per voice with frequency modulation (FM), hard, and soft sync
Wavetable synthesis, including unique formant wavetables.
UPDATE: Oscillator 2 can also function as a noise generator with its own resonant filter (highly suitable for synthesizing complex drum sounds)
The usual Morph function (parameters assignable to modulation wheel, velocity)
New 'Variation' controllers - radically change almost any parameter of the sound with a button press, instantly! Without automation, during live performance, you can change LFO speed, modulation, two-position filter setting, and reverb amount simultaneously with a button press. The emphasis is on parameters changing from A to B when pressed and back when released, allowing for rhythmic modulation.
In addition to the usual waveforms - subtractive, analog-like, FM - wavetable synthesis, including Nord's pioneering formant wavetables.
For sound shaping, FM, hard, and soft sync are available, as well as true Unison mode (meaning unison no longer takes away from polyphony). Can layer up to 4 voices.
The filter is 12/24dB, HP, BP, and LP, plus Nord's groundbreaking transistor and diode ladder filter simulation for VA synthesis.
Dual LFO/Arpeggiator section and modulation envelope with versatile routing options
LFO, Arpeggiator, and Delay can be synchronized to the Master Clock or (external MIDI clock).
Effects: Crush, Talk, and Distortion, reverb, delay (per slot!). UPDATE: + compressor and comb filter effects added.
UPDATE: Random sound generator and program mutation creation.
USB-MIDI function - parameters can be automated not only live but also via MIDI
The Nord Lead 4 comes with excellent, impactful, inspiring, instantly modifiable, and easily overwritable factory synth sounds. Thanks to its filters, modulation options, and effects, it's capable of anything. By using the arpeggiator, split, and chord functions together, complete 4-voice rhythmic performances can be created. The perfect performance synthesizer.
