Clavia | Nord Lead Rack

Description

The Nord Lead Rack uses Virtual Analog. Combines classic ideas with today's technology. Awesome leads, booming basses, frantic techno at your fingertips. Every function has a knob. No more menus. Total real time control and instant acessability make it a breeze to shape the sounds exactly the way you want them. Play with the filter and resonance knob and enjoy the precise tracking and the superb quality. You can program any parameter change to velocity and do your licks.

This synth is polyphonic and multitimbral, it has a very flexible filter, LFO and Envelope control, portamento/legato, a great arpeggiator and analog-like dedicated knobs for quick and easy synthesizing!

Everything is MIDI'd up and controllable. A performance mode allows certain parameters to be stored with a sound such as unison or poly modes, legato and portamento.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
