Nord Lead 2

• Polyphony 16 voices.
• 4 part multi-timbral.

• 4 octave velocity sensitive keyboard with octave shift buttons (+/-2 oct.).
• Keyboard Split, two sections.
• Modulation Wheel, the Pitch Stick (with no dead zone at zero crossing),
• 1 pedal input for sustain and 1 for expression pedal.

• 3 digit display, 26 knobs and 27 buttons for program editing.

• OSC 1 generating sine, triangle, saw- tooth or pulse with adjustable width, waveforms. OSC 2 generating triangle, sawtooth or pulse (with adjustable width) waveforms and can also generate noise with a color control.
• OSC 2 can be hardsynched to OSC 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 new syncable noise, where noise can be synched to OSC 1.

• 12 dB (2-pole) low pass, 24 dB (4-pole) low pass, band pass or high pass and notch with 12dB low pass.
• Cut off, resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity.
• ADSR envelope.
• Filter keyboard tracking, full, 1/3, 2/3 or off.
• Filter distortion.

• ADSR envelope
• Gain control.

• LFO 1 generating triangle, saw, pulse, LF filtered noise and random staircase routed to OSC1+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. Hold function
• Echo can be set between 1 to 8 repeats.
• Modulation envelope (attack, decay) for OSC 2 pitch,
• FM amount
• Pulse width.

• Play mode: Poly, legato, mono, unison mono, unison poly.
• Manual mode: Four program slots for layering possibilities.
• Portamento/auto portamento.

• 10 “analog” drum kits. Each percussion kit consists of 8 independent sounds, configurated in 8 zones across the keyboard.

• Programs (single sounds): 396 (4x99) user, 594 (6x99) factory.
• Performances (multi sounds): 100 user, 300 (3x100) factory.
• Percussion kits (multi zone sounds): 40 (4x10) user.

• 4 outputs. Each slot has its own output.
• Modes: stereo, mono and multi-timbral mode.
• Headphones out.
• High-resolution low noise 18-bit DACs.

• All control knobs and switches for program editing send and receive control change messages.
• System exclusive bulk dumps. One program or all programs.
• 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.
