1 Introduction

Thank you!

First we would like to thank you for purchasing the Nord Lead 4. The Nord Lead 4 is built on Clavia’s legacy of making virtual analog synthesizers for almost 20 years and we hope you will have as much fun owning the instrument as we had developing it.

To us, details are everything — and an intuitive user interface is just as important as the actual sound. We are musicians ourselves, and know by experience how frustrating it can be to have to wade through menus and page-plus buttons to change a setting.

That is why we have a physical button or knob for every sound related parameter on the Nord Lead 4 front panel. We also know the importance of building our instruments as light as possible — sometimes it is a long walk to that gig.

Features

The Nord Lead 4 is a virtual analog synthesizer with an extensive set of functions which allow you to shape the sound in a variety of ways. The Lead 4 is multitimbral; its four independent slots make it possible to layer up to four sounds on top of each other.

Synthesizer

In an classic analog style synthesizer environment, each of the

Nord Lead 4’s four slots consist of 2 oscillators, 2 LFOs, 1 modulation envelope, 1 amplifier envelope and a multi-type filter section with an envelope as well. There is an extensive effects section comprised of six different FX units, and a selectable delay/reverb at the end of the signal path.

•Oscillator 1 can produce analog style waveforms and wavetables. The traditional analog waveforms (Pulse, Triangle, Saw and Sine) can operate in oscillator sync-mode. The Osc 1 Mod section allows the routing of Oscillator 2’s pitch to modulate Oscillator 1’s pitch — Linear Frequency Modulation.

•Oscillator 2 can produce analog style waveforms and noise. The color and resonance of the noise can be adjusted. The pitch of the second oscillator can be shifted +/- 60 semitones.

•The LFOs have a wide array of modulation destinations and several waveforms. The cycle of an LFO can be restarted by keyboard triggers and/or by pressing an Impulse Morph button.

•The Modulation Envelope has a wide array of modulation destinations and can function either as an attack/decay or as an attack/ release envelope. It can be triggered by either the keyboard, or an Impulse Morph button.

•The filter section has envelope and velocity controls and the filter frequency can be set to track the keyboard. The filter has no fewer than seven different characteristics: Low Pass 12 dB slope, Low Pass 24 dB slope. Low Pass 48 dB slope, Band Pass, High Pass and two emulations of classic vintage analog filters, the Ladder M and the Ladder TB filters. The filter has a drive control which allows the addition of some distortion to the signal in the actual filter.

•The arpeggiator, the LFOs and the delay can be synchronized to the Master Clock with individual divisions to create great rhythmic soundscapes.

Continuous Morph

The Morph function lets you control defined ranges of several parameters in a program using the modulation wheel and velocity. This allows you to produce radical changes in a sound.

Impulse Morphs

The Impulse Morph buttons take real-time, instant sound manipulation and creativity to the next level.

Slots

The Slots make it easy to stack up to four sounds in layers or to create split keyboard performances.

Effects

Each program can be processed with the radical FX section and the delay or the reverb.

Programs

There are 396 program locations in the Nord Lead 4. All of these can be used to store your own programs.

Performances

Combinations of four separate programs with interlocking master clock synchronization, with layer, split an/or MIDI control configurations can be stored in the 100 Performance memories.

Nord Sound Manager

The Nord Sound Manager is a free application to use with the Nord Lead 4, as a librarian utility for the programs and performances.

The Nord Sound Manager is compatible with computers running Windows XP, Windows 7 and 8 or Windows Vista, and Macintosh’s with Mac OSX 10.4 or later.

2 models — keyboard and tabletop

The Nord Lead 4 comes as a 49-key velocity sensitive keyboard with a modulation wheel and wooden pitch stick, or as a tabletop unit — the Nord Lead 4R. It has 4 line level outputs, 1 headphone output, MIDI IN & OUT, a USB port with MIDI capabilities and inputs for a sustain pedal and a control pedal.

2 Panel Overview

The Panel

The panel on the Nord Lead 4 has two main areas, identified by their black and grey background colors. We will familiarize ourselves briefly with the panel here and describe the functions in detail in the following chapters.

Continuous Morph

The two Continuous Morph buttons are used to set, edit and clear the Velocity and the Modulation Wheel Morph.

Programs, Performances and Slots

The Program Dial is used to change programs and performances, the corresponding number will be shown in the Display. Programs are shown as two or three digit numbers, performances begin with letters “A” or “b”, indication the two

banks, followed by numbers 1 to 50. Pressing the Performance button (Perf Mode) will switch between Program and Performance Mode.

There are four Slots in the Nord Lead 4. A Performance can use up to four individual sounds at the same time. Selecting and activating Slots are made with the four Slot buttons, A-D. The Slot buttons are also used to enter the Menus.

Performance controls

The functions in this performance area are used to enable the Hold and Chord Memory features, to split the keyboard, shift octaves and to control the tempo of the Master Clock.

Add expression by bending notes with the Pitch Stick, add vibrato or continuous parameter changes with the Modulation Wheel. The Pitch Bend range can be set for every program.

MM Physical Pitch Bend and Mod Wheel controls are not available on the Nord Lead 4R but it will have an identical performance as the keyboard model when it responds to incoming MIDI Pitch Bend and Mod Wheel messages.

The Impulse Morph buttons can activate instant parameter changes in real-time, making it possible to add anything from subtle to very dramatic changes to your performance.

We’ll describe the Impulse Morph functions in greater detail starting at page 16.

Synth

The synth area is where all the action happens. Every vital sound generating function in the Nord Lead 4 has a dedicated knob or button. They are all there for you to go ahead, get crazy and design the sound as you wish. Traditional synthesizer functions are expanded with a powerful set of modulation capabilities, rhythmic features like arpeggio with synchronized effects and a delay/reverb. All the settings of the parameters on the panel can be stored in a Program.

Voice Mode

Create fatter sounds by stacking voices “on top of each other” with Unison, make the notes Glide between each other if the Lead 4 is set to Mono or Legato and control the delayed

or modulation wheel operated vibrato. These features are enabled with the Voice Mode controls.

LFOs and Modulation Envelope

The two very flexible LFOs have a wide

selection of waveforms from sines and squares to ramping saws, perfect for creating wobbling basses or pulsing pads.

Each LFO can easily be synchronized to the

Master Clock and assigned a desired time division. The LFO

can be re-triggered

manually with an Impulse Morph button or a key. The LFO destinations include a unique option to modulate the FX section.

The Nord Lead 4 offers a very capable Modulation Envelope section with an expanded choice of modulation destinations. The Modulation Envelope can also be triggered manually with an Impulse Morph button.

Oscillators

The Nord Lead 4 have 2 oscillators per voice. The classic waveforms are present, Sawtooth, Square, Sine, Triangle, Pulse and PWM.

In addition, the Nord Lead 4 Oscillator 1 section features a wide selection of wavetables including a unique type called Formant wavetables with resonant qualities that are independent of pitch.

Oscillator 2 features a Noise generator with dedicated filter cut-off frequency and resonance controls.

Filter

The filter section features classic 12, 24 and 48 dB LowPass, High-Pass and a Band-Pass filters with a ADSR filter envelope and selectable filter tracking.

Two great new filter types are the stunning emulations of the transistor and diode ladder filters from the legendary Mini and the TB-303. The emulations capture the dirty, squeaky resonance of the originals and combined with the new unison mode you’ll have plenty of opportunities for making fat, squelchy basses and leads.

The Filter Drive operates separately per voice, distorting the waveform before it passes through the effects sections.

Effects

The FX section contains a bit crusher, a compressor, a tube-style overdrive, two unique talk effects and a comb filter. Together with the delay or reverb, these great sounding effects will put the finishing subtle or quite dramatic touches to the sound.

Knobs & dials

Grab a knob or press a button, it is that easy to change a sound in the Nord Lead 4. There are a few different types of buttons, and some of the controls change their behavior depending on overlying modes that may be activated. Let’s look at some of the things you will find and work with on the panel.

Knobs

The knobs control the continuously variable parameters in the Nord Lead 4.

• A parameter value can be totally different from the knob’s physical position when you load a Program. As soon as you start turning the knob, the value will ‘snap’ to the knob’s physical position.

Most of the knobs have a green LED indicator below them. This LED indicates when a parameter is connected to a Morph source. Please look at page 16 for more information on morphing.

Some knobs and buttons, like the ones in the LFO 1 area can change their behavior. If the arpeggiator is activated, these controls are instead used to change the settings of the arpeggio. This is indicated with the red labels.

The same behavior is used in the De-

lay/Reverb section and for the Noise parameters for Oscillator 2.

Program Dial

The Program Dial is used to select the programs and performances. When an item in the menus is selected, the Program Dial is used to change this setting.

Oscillator 1 Wavetable dial

This dial in the Oscillator 1 controls has an associated LED display which shows the selected wavetable number.

Master Level

The Master Level knob controls the overall amplitude for the audio outputs, the line level outputs and headphone output. The Master Level knob’s actual position indicates the output level.

8 | Nord Lead 4 User Manual v1.3x

Buttons

On/Off buttons

On/Off buttons are used for activating a parameter or a group of parameters such as effects. The LED next to them indicates the On or Off status.

Shift button

Quite a few buttons have a secondary function, which will be available if you hold down Shift while pressing the button. The name of the secondary function is printed below the button.

Selector buttons

Selector buttons are used to activate a setting in an array of two or more. Selector buttons have a set of round or triangular LEDs to indicate the current setting. Press the button several times to cycle through the possible options.

Another example of a selector button can be found in the LFO 1 section, this one has additional settings that are activated with Shifty. Hold Shift and press this button repeatedly to activate the master clock, the arpeggiator or both of these functions, as indi-

cated below the button. The LFO 2 and Modulation

Envelope, the Oscillator 2 waveform selector and the Delay Feedback/ Reverb algorithm are other examples of this functionality.

Master Clock (Mst Clk)

The Mst Clk button can be used to set a tempo in two different ways. Tap the button in the tempo you wish to use. The current tempo in BPM will be shown numerically in the Display, and the beats detected in your taps

will be indicated with three dots in the lower part of the display.

Hold down the Mst Clk button, and set a tempo by turning the Program Dial.

Copy

The functionality of Copy/Morph Lock button depends on the situation when it is used. Hold it and turn a knob to copy that knob’s value to a virtual clipboard, and also to show the parameter value in the Display.

Hold down a Continuous Morph, Impulse Morph or Slot button and press Copy to copy the entire Morph setting or Slot setting (the actual program) to the clipboard.

Morph Lock

If you hold a Continuous or Impulse Morph button and press Copy/ Morph Lock, Morph Lock is activated and you can set up the Morph without having to keep on holding the Morph button. Morph Lock is indicated with blinking green LEDs above the Continuous or Impulse Morph buttons.

Morph Lock can also be used to latch an Impulse Morph, to be able to have the Morphed settings of the sound instead of the original.

Paste

To Paste the content of the clipboard, hold Shift, then the Copy/Morph Lock and finally turn the knob or press the corresponding Morph or Slot Button to paste the settings. The pasted setting will be shown in the display when a single parameter is pasted.

3 Getting Started

The Sounds

Complete sound settings are stored in the memory of the Nord Lead 4 as programs and performances. The memory stores 396 programs and 100 performances.

A program is one sound, comprised of all the synthesizer functions that is available on the panel. A performance can be made of up to 4 programs/sounds

at once. Pressing the Perf Mode button switches between Program and Performance Mode, programs

are shown in the Display as 1._1 — 1.99, all the way up to 4.99. Performances are shown with initial letters “A” or “b” followed by a number between 1 and 50.

Program Mode

Performance Mode

Every program and performance can be changed and replaced as you wish. A complete set of the factory content is available on the Nord Lead 4 CD and on the www.nordkeyboards.com website.

Selecting Programs

1With Program Mode is active, turn the Program Dial to select a program. The programs are organized in 4 banks, each with 99 programs.

2Hold Shift and turn the Program Dial, this changes the program bank number; the initial 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Editing Programs

Editing a Program is just as easy as grabbing a knob and changing a setting, or pressing a button. A knob’s physical position doesn’t always reflect the setting in the program that is active, but as soon as you start

turning a knob, the parameter’s value will snap to the knob’s position.

1In Program Mode, select a program and turn for example the Filter Freq knob.

The parameter value will be shown briefly in the Display.

When you have changed any setting in a program, a dot (.) will appear in the Display to the right of the Program number. This is to alert you to the fact that the program have been changed but not yet stored. A program that is active in the Nord Lead 4 is said to be in the Edit Buffer.

If you select a new program without storing a program that has been changed, any edits you have made will be lost and the program will have its original settings the next time you select it.

Storing a Program

If you are happy with an edit that you have made, you should probably store the program. Before we can do this for the first time, there is a Memory Protect function that is set to On when the Lead 4 leaves the factory. This needs to be turned Off in the System Menu before you (and your cat) can store anything.

1Hold Shift and press the Slot A/System button. Turn the Program Dial to select the first setting — “1.ON”.

2 Hold Shift and turn the Program Dial to select “1.OF”.

With the protection turned off, we can now store our edited program.

3Hold Shift and press Perf Mode/Store.

The Display starts flashing and the original program location is shown.

4Select a new location where you want to store the program by turning the Program Dial.

10 | Nord Lead 4 User Manual v1.3x

To quickly jump to another bank, hold Shift and turn the Program Dial.

The program that occupies the location that you select will be active on the keyboard, making it possible to verify that you do not accidentally overwrite something you wanted to keep.

5Hold Shift and press the Store a second time to confirm your choice. Your edited program has now replaced the previous one in the location you specified.

•To cancel the store procedure, press any buttons on the panel before you press Store the second time.

•With Memory Protect set to Off, a double tap on Shift + Store will store a program in its original location.

The 4th bank in the Nord Lead 4 memory is empty when shipped from the factory. This means that you can start saving your programs in this Bank at once without having to worry about overwriting anything that you might find useful.

If you at some point like to restore the entire memory content of Nord Lead 4 to the Factory Settings, this can be done with a backup file from the Nordkeyboards.com website and the Nord Sound Manager. This will be described later in this manual.

Slots

The Nord Lead 4 has four Slots labelled A, B, C and D. Each slot

represents a complete synthesizer

setup, a complete sound if you wish. Slots can be used for layering sounds or quickly switch between programs. Slots can also be used when the Nord Lead 4 is controlled via MIDI.

1Press Slot A, its LED should be the only one lit.

2Play on the keyboard and turn the Program Dial to select a program.

3 Press Slot B, so that its LED light up instead of Slot A’s.

4 Turn the Program Dial and choose a different program for Slot B.

By first pressing Slot A and then Slot B buttons, you can quickly switch from one program to another, without turning the Program Dial.

Selecting Performances

1 Press the Perf Mode button to select the Performance Mode.

2Turning the Program Dial will scroll through the 100 Performances, A. 1 to b.50. As you will notice, some of the Performances are made with several Slots on top of each other, others are in split configurations with different sounds to either side of the keyboard.

Editing a Performance

It is as easy to edit a performance as it is a Program. Just grab a knob and turn it.

Since a performance may be using up to 4 different programs at once, you need to make sure which of these programs you are editing. The Slot with program that is in focus on the panel, is the one that has the Slot LED blinking.

To replace one of the programs in a performance, hold the Slot button with the program you wish to be changed and turn the Program Dial.

Holding several Slot buttons selects (or de-selects) any combination of the four Slots. When two or more Slots are selected at the same time you are in effect creating a performance, even though it may not be stored as one yet.

Layering two Programs

1Press and hold the Slot A button and then press the Slot B button. Both the Slot A and B LEDs are lit and both programs will be active on the keyboard.

The blinking LED indicates the Slot in focus.

Press the other Slot button to move the focus to the other Slot.

Creating a Split

1Press and hold Slot A and press Slot C. If you do this right after the previous exercise, Slot B is removed.

2Hold Shift and press Split. This splits the keyboard in two halves. Slots A and B will be to the left, Slots C and D to the right.

Setting the Split

Hold Shift and press and hold the Split button. A note number will be indicated in the Display. While still holding the buttons, play a key on the keyboard, this key will be the lowest key of the upper range.

Storing a Performance

To Store a combination of Slots that you have made, hold Shift and press Store once. Press Perf Mode to activate Performance Mode, turn the Program Dial to select a location (A, b xx) and confirm by holding Shift and pressing Store once more.

The last 10 locations in Performance bank b (b.41 — b.50) are empty when the Nord Lead 4 leaves the factory.

3 Getting Started | 11

2Press Paste (Shift + Copy), and turn another knob — the destination. The setting from the source will now be copied to the destination.

The Copy/Paste functionality can be used to copy Morphs from one program to another, and to copy Impulse Morphs within one program or to another.

Shift Editing

Continuous parameters can be changed on all the four Slots in a Performance at the same time. This is done by holding Shift and turning a knob.

The programs will retain the parameter relationship, up until the point when one of them reaches the maximum (or minimum) value. Shift Edit will work on editing Morph settings across the Slots.

Extracting a Program from a Performance

1Make sure that the program you wish to store is in the focused Slot.

2 Hold Shift and press Store once.

3Release the Shift button and Press Perf Mode to switch from Performanceto Program Mode.

4 Turn the Program Dial to select a location for the program.

5 Hold Shift and press Store to confirm your intentions.

Copy and Paste settings

Settings from one Slot can be copied to a virtual clipboard and then be pasted to another Slot. This can be useful if a program needs to be moved from the lower part (A and B) to the upper part (C and D) in a split configuration or if you want a program to be copied from one performance to another.

1 Make sure that the Slot you wish to copy is in focus.

2Hold Copy and press on the source Slot button.

“cP” and a letter that indicates which Slot you have copied will be shown in the Display.

3You can now turn the Program Dial to select a destination performance.

4Hold Shift + Paste, and press the Slot button where you want your settings to be copied to. “Ps” and the destination Slot will be shown in the Display. The settings will be copied to the edit buffer of the performance, the dot to the right in the Display will be lit to indicate this.

The content of the virtual clipboard will remain until you copy another setting or parameter, or turn off the Nord Lead 4. This makes it possible to paste the same data to several destinations.

MM If you want to keep the new settings you have created by coping, make sure to save the program or performance.

The same procedure can be used to copy individual parameters.

1Hold Copy and turn a knob — the source to be copied. The parameters value will be displayed in the Display.

MIDI

The Nord Lead 4 default MIDI settings is to send and receive on Global MIDI Channel 1, using the USB MIDI interface. What you play on the keyboard will be transmitted as MIDI Notes on MIDI Channel 1, and incoming MIDI on channel 1 will play the current Program or an entire Performance on the Nord Lead 4.

The Slot that is in focus will be transmitting (and receiving) any CC data that occurs when you turn a knob or press a button on the panel.

All MIDI related settings are made in the MIDI Menu. Read more on the MIDI capabilities of the Nord Lead 4 on page 46.

Multitimbrality

The Nord Lead 4 can be used as four independent synthesizers controlled by MIDI, thanks to the four Slots. This is achieved by setting individual MIDI Channels for the four Slots, in the MIDI Menu.

12 | Nord Lead 4 User Manual v1.3x

4 Slots and Memory

General Overview

The Nord Lead 4 is a four part multi timbral synthesizer. This means that you have four independent synthesizers to be used simultaneously. The synthesizers are divided into Slots, where each Slot contains one synthesizer. The Slots are called A, B, C and D.

The panel shows and edits the features of one Slot at a time. Slot focus determines which slot is currently beeing edited.

A Slot can either be active or not. All active Slots respond to keyboard input as shown in Figure 1. If several Slots are active it is called a layer.

		Keyboard
Active	yes	yes	no	no
Mod.	A	B	C	D
Wheel

Pitch
Stick

Slot Handling

The Slot buttons, labelled A to D, are used to set the Slot focus, and the active state of the Slots.

To change focus to another Slot, simply press that Slot button. If focus is set to an inactive Slot, that Slot will become active, and the others deactivated.

If only one Slot is active, the focused Slot LED will be lit. When several slots are active, the focused Slot LED will be flashing, and the other active slots will have their LEDs lit.

A layer is created by pressing several Slot buttons at once. You can also hold one of the Slot buttons pressed, then tap another Slot button to activate / deactivate it.

Split

By creating a Split point, the keyboard is divided into two zones, where the lower zone (the left part) plays on Slot A and B, and the upper on Slot C and D. Create a Split Point by holding Shift + Split and pressing the note on the keyboard where you want the Split Point.

Solo

If you double-tap on a Slot button, that Slot enters Solo mode. The other Slots are temporarily deactivated and any audio from them is muted. The Solo mode is indicated with a single flashing Slot LED. Press any Slot button to exit Solo mode and return to the previous state.

All active Slots respond to keyboard input. Modulation Wheel, Pitch Stick and Control Pedal always reach all slots.

Each of the Slots can listen to different MIDI channels and respond to different keyboard zones. Pitch Stick, Modulation Wheel and Control Pedal reaches all Slots regardless of focus and their active state.

Multi Focus

By using Multi Focus, Slot focus can be set to multiple Slots simultaneously. Any changes that are made on the panel then affect all the focused Slots. To turn Multi Focus on, simply press Shift + KB Track and all active slots become focused. The focused Slots are indicated with flashing Slot LEDs.

MIDI Input				MIDI Output	MM

Global Channel			Global Channel
G				G
Active	yes	yes	no	no
Slot Channel	A	B	C	D

A
B
C
D

Newer versions of the Nord Lead 4 has the text Multi Focus printed below the KB Track button.

The global channel acts just like playing on the keyboard. The individual slot channels give multi timbrality. MIDI output is always sent on the global channel.

Program Handling

The Nord Lead 4 handles two different program entities; Programs and Performances. The memory contains 396 Programs divided into 4 banks, and 100 Performances divided into 2 banks.

Programs

A Program contains parameter settings for a single synthesizer Slot. A program can be loaded into any of the Slots.

Program	A	B	C	D	Settings

.
.
.
	…
.

A Program contains parameter data for a single slot.

Performances

A Performance contains parameter data for all four Slots at once. The parameter data for each slot is stored in the Performance – it is not a reference to a Program. Furthermore the Performance contains settings about Slot Focus, Slot Activation, Hold, Split On/Off, Split Point, Keyboard Octave Shift and Multi Focus.

A Performance contains parameter data for all four slots and common settings.

4 Slots and Memory | 13

Performance Mode

The Perf Mode button is used to cycle between Performance Mode and Program Mode.

When in Performance Mode the display shows the current bank as a letter: “A” or “b”.

In Program Mode the bank is shown as a single digit “1” to “4”. Program Mode and Performance Mode have separate Slot buffers. This means that the changes to you make in Performance Mode, will not affect the Slots in Program Mode, and vice versa.

A Performance is useful not only to create layers, but to load four Slots at once. You can then quickly change between these sounds with the press of a button instead of using the Program Dial.

To load from memory, simply turn the Program Dial. When in Performance Mode entire Performances are loaded and all Slots are affected. In Program Mode only the focused Slot is loaded, leaving the others untouched.

A Performance can be built from existing Programs by loading separate Slots in Performance Mode. Load the Slot by pressing and holding a Slot button, and turning the Program Dial. The Program is then loaded into the selected Slot, not affecting the others. The program focus for that Slot is stored in the Performance as an indication to where that sound came from.

Storing

Storing works exactly as loading, but the other way around. In Performance Mode all four Slots and their common settings are stored to Performance Memory. In Program Mode, only the focused Slot is stored to Program Memory.

To store a sound, press Shift + Store. The location to where the sound will be stored in Memory will flash on the display. Change the store location by turning the Program Dial. The sound in that location is temporarily loaded so that you can hear what you are about to overwrite. Confirm the store operation by pressing Shift + Store again.

While selecting the store location you can change between Performance and Program Mode. This is very useful to store all Slots as a Performance, or to store one Slot in a Performance as a Program.

Details about storing for the first time can be found in the Getting Started chapter on page 9.

Copying Slots to a Performance

If you have added several slots together with the Lead 4 in Program mode, a Performance can be easily created with this selection. Hold Copy and press Perf Mode to copy the slots and their settings to a Performance. The display will show the current performance bank and two dashes “- -“ to alert you that this performance have not yet been stored.

Copying a Performance to Program

It is possible to copy all the individual Slots in a Performance, to become a multi-slot selection in Program mode. While in Performance Mode, hold Copy and press Perf Mode. The Lead 4 will switch from Performance to Program mode, with all the Slot settings as they were in the Performance.

The Master Clock is a feature that can synchronize several functions in the Nord Lead 4 to a common tempo. The LFO 1, arpeggiator, LFO 2 and the delay can be synced to the Master Clock.

The Master Clock tempo has a range between 30 and 300 beats per minute. This tempo can be set manually with the Program Dial, or by tapping to a beat, with the Tap button.

The Master Clock is a global feature that reaches across all four Slots, making it possible to create a synchronized performance with several individual parts.

Master Clock is activated for each individual function that you wish to be synchronized, by enabling “Mst Clk” in that section.

With Mst Clk active, the Rate knobs for the LFOs and the Tempo knob for the Delay will be used to set the Time Division. The divisions can be set to straight divisions like quarter, eight and sixteenth notes, or triplets, dotted and swing divisions.

Division	Description	Available in

4b, 2b, 1	4 bar, 2 bar & 1 bar divisions.	LFO 1 & 2

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64	Half note to 64ths divisions.	Arp, Delay,
		LFO 1 & 2

4d, 8d, 16d	The quarter, 8th and 16ths “dot-	Delay
	ted” divisions will push the repeats
	“back” one half of the note value.

4bt, 2bt, 1t,	4 bar, 2 bar & 1 bar triplet divisions.	LFO 1 & 2

2t, 4t. 8t, 16t, 32t	Half note to 32nd triplet divisions.	Arp, Delay,
		LFO 1 & 2

4s, 8s, 16s,	Quarter note to 16th swing divi-	Delay
	sions.

Divisions are listed on account of their perceived tempo which is why for example triplet quarter notes is found between the dotted eights and the swing eights when you select the Delay divisions.

External Sync

The Master Clock will automatically lock to the tempo of an incoming MIDI Clock. The tempo of the incoming MIDI Clock will be shown in the Display if the Mst Clk button is pressed.

MM If you try and manually change the Master Clock tempo when it is being synchronized to a MIDI Clock, “E.Cl” will be displayed in the display.

Arpeggio with Mst Clk

Let’s try out a few things with the arpeggio and the Master Clock.

1Press Sound Init (Shift + Osc 1 waveform selector) to start with a basic sound.

2Hold Shift and press the LFO 1 Waveform selector three times. The Mst Clk and the Arp LED should both be lit. Notice how the three left LFO Destination LEDs light up. This indicates that the arpeggio is stopped.

3Hold down a key or a chord and press Run. The three right LFO Destination LEDs light up and the arpeggio starts running.

4Press Hold Enable (Shift + Hold), and then Hold to hold the notes you’ve played. Each Slot has a Hold Enable control, providing greater flexibility when creating Performances.

7Hold the Mst Clk button and turn the Program Dial. The tempo changes and the three rhythmic things we have running in this example all change simultaneously to reflect the new tempo.

MM A tempo setting will be stored in a Performance.

5 Turn the LFO Rate knob, to set the division of the arpeggio. Hear the arpeggio speed up or down as the divisions change. Find the quarter note division (“4”) and leave it there.

6Hold the Mst Clk button and turn the Program Dial to set a tempo.

You can also tap the Mst Clk button to set a tempo. Four taps (or more) are needed to determine a tempo.

7Feel free to adjust the filter and envelope settings to a short, nice sound, I’ll wait here. Oh, you’re already done? Great, let’s move on.

You can change the range of the arpeggio with the LFO 1 Amount/ Range knob, from one to four octaves, but let’s stick with 1 for now. The LFO 1 Waveform selector acts as the arpeggio direction selection. Press repeatedly to listen to the various directions.

Synced Delay repeats

Keep the arpeggio running and we’ll add more things.

1Turn both Delay knobs (Tempo & Dry/Wet) fully counterclockwise, press Feedback once to light up the “1” LED.

2Turn on the Delay, hold Shift and press Delay On a second time to sync the delay to the Master Clock.

3Turn the Delay tempo knob to select the Master Clock “8” division and turn up the Dry/Wet mix until you hear the delay repeats.

The arpeggio will play quarter notes, and the delay repeats will be dotted eight notes (the first repeat will “move” the following repeats by half an 1/8 note).

Sync the LFO

4Lets add a synchronized LFO sweep. Enable the LFO 2 Master Clock sync by holding Shift and pressing the LFO 2 Waveform selector once.

5 Select the Triangle waveform and Filter destination.

6Turn the LFO 2 rate to select “2b” (2 bars) and turn up the LFO 2 Amount knob a bit past the 12 o’clock position. If the LFO 2 Amount doesn’t seem to do anything, try closing the Filter Frequency a bit.

There are now quarter notes playing from the arpeggiator, with delay repeats that are synced at 8 notes, and the LFO 2 that opens up the filter once every 2 bars.

Patterns

If the LFOs and/or the Arpeggiator are synchronized to the Master Clock, they can use a Pattern, instead of the traditional cyclic or repetitive behavior. To enable the Pattern, turn the Rate knob fully clock-wise — “PAt” will be shown in the Display.

There are 128 Patterns in the Nord Lead 4, with different rhythmic characteristics. Patterns are organized in 6 different types. Some of the Patterns are one bar long, others are longer. Some are in 4/4; others have other time signatures, there are Patterns with shuffle or swing timings as well.

Display Type

E.Elementary

S.Straight

G.Groove

b.Back beat

o.Odd Meter

F.Fills

Selecting a Pattern

With Mst Clk enabled and the Rate knob turned all the way to the right, hold Shift + Pattern and turn the Program Dial. The Pattern Type and number will be shown in the display.

Pattern changes can be made on the fly using the Impulse Morphs. Hold down an Impulse button (or activate Morph Lock), hold Shift + Pattern and turn the dial to a desired pattern number.

Examples

Let’s change the cyclic arpeggio from the example above to a pattern based repetition.

1Make the arpeggio play just one note and turn the LFO 1 rate knob clockwise all the way to the “Pat” symbol. The rhythm of the arpeggio will now be the rhythm of the pattern.

2Hold Shift + Pattern and turn the Program Dial to select the pattern.

Across the Slots

There is one Master Clock tempo for each Performance. All Slots can be in perfect sync with each other.

Sound Menu Kbd Sync

The Sound Menu setting “Mst Clk Kbd Sync” determines if the Master Clock should be reset when you press a key. This type of reset can have a hard or a soft behavior, the softer would allow for note changes slightly ahead of the beat. The Kbd Sync feature can also be turned off, letting the Master Clock run free.

6 Morph

1. Hold

2. Turn

3. Use the Mod Wheel to Morph

Morphing

Morphing allows you to be creative in your sound design, and is all about being able to control virtually any important sound related

parameter, in real time from the three Morph sources: the Modulation Wheel & Control Pedal, the Velocity of the keyboard and the Impulse Morph buttons. The Impulse buttons provides you with up to 7 different instant Morph settings for each program.

There are 36 available continuous parameters and 21 “switches” or selectors that can be Morphed. This gives you plenty of real-time control possibilities. A Morph is very simple to set up and use, and all Morph assignments that you make are stored with the Program or Performance.

Many, if not all of the factory programs have morph assigned parameters. If a Program uses Velocity or Wheel Morph, the green Morph Vel or Wheel indicators on the panel will be lit to indicate this.

A Morph Source controls the range from the parameter’s original position in the program, to a position you define when you set up the Morph.

This means that you can control a very small range on one parameter at the same time as you control a very large range on a another parameter. One parameter can be controlled clockwise, and another parameter can be controlled counter clockwise.

Continuous Morphs

Let’s begin with a look at the continuous Morph Sources:

Velocity

This Morph source uses the Note Velocity from the Nord Lead 4 keyboard and from any incoming MIDI messages.

•A key velocity of 0 represents the parameters original setting.

•A key velocity of 127 represents the parameters maximum morphed setting.

Wheel

This allows you to setup the Modulation Wheel and a control pedal as the Morph Source.

Incoming MIDI Control Change messages CC 01 and CC 11 will also act as a Wheel/Ped Morph source.

•The bottom position of the Modulation Wheel and/or control pedal represents the parameters original setting.

•The top position of the Modulation Wheel or control pedal represents the parameters morphed setting.

If the control pedal is set to control the overall volume of the Nord Lead 4, in the System Menu, the wheel will be a solitary Morph source.

Assign a Morph source to a parameter

1Hold down a Morph Source button.

If the Morph has any previously assigned parameters, green parameter LEDs will light up on the panel.

2Turn the knob of the parameter you wish to control with the Morph Source, turn the knob to the setting you want as the Morphed setting.

The selected parameter’s green LED will indicate that a Morph is active. Previously engaged Morph assignments will be unaffected.

3Release the Morph Source button.

When the Morph source is operated, the parameter’s setting will change accordingly and influence the sound.

Continuous Morph parameters

A continuous Morph can control most of the continuous parameters. Each one of these have a green LED next to its knob.

Impulse Morph Protection

The Impulse Morphs have a protection feature. When this is enabled, you have to put the Impulse Morph in Lock mode for any adjustments to stick, otherwise any new parameter settings will be discarded as soon as you release the Impulse button.

This allows parameter changes to be made during the heat of a performance, while not “ruining” a previously set up Impulse Morph. The protection disables the Morph Clear command as well.

1 Hold Shift and press Slot A to enter the System menu.

2 Use the Program Dial to select setting 8.

3 Hold Shift and turn the Program Dial to set this to Off.

If the Impulse Morph Protect is On, putting the Impulse Morph in Lock Mode will override the protection.

Impulse Morphs

Impulse Morphs are for fast, instantaneous parameter changes. The Impulses can be used to change switch-type parameters, something that the other Morph sources are not able to do.

The LEDs above the Impulse Morph buttons do not display that they are used in a program in the same way as the Velocity and Wheel Morphs do, instead they light up when a Impulse Morph is activated.

There are three buttons that can be used in combinations for a total of 7 different Impulse setups for each Program.

Impulse Morph

The Impulse Morphs change the parameters instantly from the original to the morphed setting. They can change switch type parameters, like turning the arpeggiator on or off.

Setting up an Impulse Morphs is done in the same manner as described for the Continuous Morphs.

Impulse Morph Merge

The Sound Menu has a Impulse Morph Merge feature that allows you to combine settings from Impulse Morphs 1, 2 and 3, to create “mixes” of these to Impulse Morphs 4, 5, 6 and 7.

1 Make settings to Impulse 1, 2 and 3.

2Hold Shift and press the Slot C/Sound button to enter the Sound Menu.

3Turn the Dial until you reach item 5. The LED display will show “rG”.

4Press Execute to merge the first three Impulse Morphs into the remaining four.

Impulse Morphs 1 and 2 will now be merged to become number 4, Impulse 2 and 3 will be merged to number 5, Impulse Morph 1 and 3 will be merged to number 6 and 1, 2 & 3 will be merged as number 7.

Any parameters that are used in more than one of these first three Impulse Morphs will not be used at all in the merge.

Секция осцилляторов

Инструмент Nord Lead 4 – это субтрактивный синтезатор, оснащенный двумя осцилляторами на голос. Присутствуют все классические волновые формы – пила, квадрат, синусоид, треугольник, пульс и PWM.

Табличный синтез

Секция осциллятора 1 инструмента Nord Lead 4 оснащена широким выбором таблиц сэмплов, включая новый уникальный тип Formant Wavetables, в котором резонансные качества независимы от высоты тона. Частотное модулирование Formant Wavetables обеспечивает особое качество аудио.
Oscillator 2 оснащен генератором шума с соответствующим фильтром среза и резонансом.

Режим Voice Unison

Режим Voice Unison обеспечивает наложение до 4 голосов на каждую ноту (включая всю дорожку сигнала Nord Lead 4), что позволяет генерировать действительно плотные и широко открытые соло и басы.

Режимы синхронизации Hard & Soft

Режим Hard Sync воспроизводит звуковую волну неправильной формы, что дает грубый, грязный эффект, ставший известным впервые на Prophet 5. Режим Soft Sync более плавный и мягкий, но точно не слабый.
Также инструмент Nord Lead 4 оснащен возможностями Частотного Модулятора, что добавляет спектрального разнообразия и частично придает «грубый» эффект.

LFO и секция Модуляции

Nord Lead 4 оснащен двумя регулируемыми LFO-секциями на каждый слот. Широкий выбор LFO-форм (от синусоидов и пульса до пилы) идеален для создания раскачивающихся басов или пульсирующих пэдов.
Каждый LFO может быть легко синхронизирован с Master Clock и назначен на желаемое временное разделение. LFO можно перезапустить вручную с помощью кнопки Impulse Morph или клавиши. Направления LFO включают и уникальную опцию модуляции секции FX.

Modulation Envelope

Nord Lead 4 оснащен эффективной секцией Modulation Envelope, предлагающей расширенный выбор направлений модуляции. Режим Modulation Envelope можно запустить вручную с помощью кнопки Impulse Morph!

Секция фильтров

Секция фильтров инструмента Nord Lead 4 включает в себя классические НЧ-фильтры с крутизной характеристики 12, 24 и 48 дБ/окт, ВЧ-фильтр и полосовой фильтр со специальной огибающей фильтра и опцией трекинга.

Имитация ступенчатых фильтров

Новинкой стали два новых фильтра — имитация диодного и транзисторного лестничного фильтров от легендарных синтезаторов Mini и TB-303. Имитации улавливают грязный и скрипучий резонанс оригинала, а в сочетании с новой секцией Unsion Вы получаете множество возможностей для создания толстых, «хлюпающих» басов и соло.

Функция Filter Drive

Режим Filter Drive работает с каждым голосом по отдельности, меняя форму волны до ее попадания в секции эффектов.
Уникальные функции

Режим Impulse Morph

Кнопки функции Impulse Morph исключительно эффективны, так как позволяют Вам моментально изменять звучание и создавать спонтанные, синхронизированные ритмические и тональные комбинации. Благодаря этой функции теперь стало возможным осуществлять мгновенно и одновременно прямо посреди вашего соло дублирование уровня LFO, осцилляторное изменение волны от Пилы до Квадрата, включение эффекта Скольжения, настройка резонанса и приглушение Реверберации. Теперь стало очень легко воспроизводить покачивающиеся басы, сложные прерывистые пэды вживую, с идеальным уровнем синхронизации. Impulse Morph — это простая, но в то же время универсальная концепция, которая предлагает пользователю практически бесконечные возможности регулировки.

Назначение режима Impulse Morph происходит очень просто — просто удерживайте нажатой кнопку Impulse Morph и поворачивайте нужные ручки до желаемого уровня! Практически каждый параметр можно контролировать с помощью Impulse Morph и LED-индикаторов, отражающих измененные параметры. Нажатием различных сочетаний трех кнопок Impulse Morph можно создать до 7 уникальных комбинаций на слот.

Колесо Mod Wheel и кнопка Velocity Morph

Morph — это классическая характеристика инструментов Nord, которая позволяет контролировать любой настраиваемый ручками-регуляторами параметр с помощью колеса модуляции, контрольной педали или скорости. Открываются безграничные возможности — от изменения диапазона Арпеджиатора до выравнивания уровня сэмплов и уменьшения Crush-эффекта колесом модуляции.

Секция эффектов

Каждый из четырех слотов Nord Lead 4 оснащен своей собственной специальной секцией эффектов: FX и Delay/Reverb.

Drive

Эффект овердрайва смоделирован по типу винтажного лампового усилителя. Вы можете сделать звучание вашего соло слегка «пушистым» или уже усилить его для достижения настоящего овердрайва, искажающегося в зависимости от пропускаемого сигнала.

Talk

Эффект Talk придает звучанию оттенки человеческого голоса благодаря двум разным симуляторам голосовых дорожек.

Compressor

Эффект компрессора обеспечивает регулировку порогового ограничения. Также может быть смодулирован для достижения эффектов боковой цепи компрессора и др.

Crush

Эффект Crush значительно сократить уровень сэмплирования. Придайте Вашему басу немного «низкого качества» звука или превратите его с потрескивающую цифровую звездную пыль.

Фильтр Comb

Благодаря Comb-фильтру появляется возможность создавать эффекты хорусного типа с помощью контроллера от LFO или моделировать статичные спектральные изменения звука.
Crush-эффект, Talk-эффект, Comb фильтр, Компрессор и эффект Drive могут управляться с помощью контроллеров исполнения Morph и Impulse Morph, а также через LFO или Modulation Envelope.

Реверберация/ Delay

Эффект Дилей (Delay) имеет три уровня обратной связи, Dry/Wet контроль и темп Delay, которые могут синхронизироваться с Master Clock.
Эффект Delay может быть опционально оснащен аналоговым режимом, который ведет себя как олдскульный дилэй при изменении его темпа в процессе воспроизведения.
Потрясающий эффект Реверберации доступен пользователю, если не применяется эффект дилэя. Эффект регулируется через dry/wet контроллеры. Имеется 3 типа реверберации и регулятор яркости сигнала для спада высоких частот там, где это необходимо.

Наслоение

Благодаря тому, что в распоряжении пользователя одновременно находятся четыре идентичных, одинаково мощных синтезатора перед Вами открываются огромные возможности для наложения – как с ритмической точки зрения, так и звуковой. Режим разделения клавиатуры предоставляет Вам два слота с каждой стороны. Эффективный режим Hold позволяет поймать и удерживать слоты независимо, по отдельности в нижнем диапазоне, в то время как в верхнем диапазоне будет проигрываться что-то иное.

Функция Pitch Stick

Уникальная функция Pitch Stick может использоваться для «залипания» нот и для создания легкого эффекта вибрато, похожего на то, которое получается у гитариста или скрипача, так как в среднем положении нет «мертвой зоны». Уровень «сгиба» может колебаться от нуля до 48 нот вверх/ вниз и может быть уникальным для каждой программы. Также есть возможность использовать отдельные «изгибы» вверх и вниз: -12 или -24 полутона или +2 полутона.

Аккордовая память

Удобная функция аккордовой памяти запоминает комбинацию нот так, что вы можете сыграть пятую ноту или аккорд одним пальцем – отличное решение для исполнения соло партий и замысловатых тем.

Арпеджиатор

Синтезатор Nord Lead 4 оснащен классическим Арпеджиатором с режимами Up/Down, Random и 4-октавным диапазоном. Арпеджиатор можно синхронизировать LFO и Delay посредством Master Clock. Новый режим.

Новый режим Poly рассматривает все удерживаемые ноты в качестве аккордов, вместо того, чтобы обрабатывать ноты по отдельности. Это очень удобно для воспроизведения отрывистых аккордов, особенно в сочетании с нажатием кнопок Patterns и Impulse Morph. А при наличии четырех слотов Вы можете одновременно воспроизводить четыре Арпеджио!

Функция Patterns

Функция Patterns применяет ритмические фигуры для Арпеджиатора или LFO. Доступен широкий выбор таких фигур — от базовых элементов построения до более сложных фигур.

Функция Mutator

Функция Mutator синтезатора Nord Lead 4 представляет собой автоматический генератор программ с возможностью настроек стиля и мощности.

Master Clock

Расположенный в самом сердце синтезатора Nord Lead 4 и контролирующий общий темп Master Clock может быть синхронизирован с LFO, арпеджиатором и дилэем. Темп легко изменяется кнопкой Tap-tempo, так что Вы можете отстучать бит ударных и синхронно исполнять замысловатые ритмически взаимосвязанные части. Master Clock также можно синхронизировать с внешним MIDI clock.

Nord Sound Manager

Приложение Nord Sound Manager, доступное для Mac OSX и Windows, облегчает организацию, резервное копирование и передачу программ на ваш инструмент Nord Lead 4.

Педали

Управление педалями было существенно усовершенствовано и теперь поддерживается в следующих моделях: Fatar, Yamaha FC7, Roland EV-7, Roland EV-5, Korg EXP2 and Korg XVP10.

Кто-нибудь сравнивал ли звучание с Nord Lead 1 на одинаковых настройках?
Я слышал что 1 звучит плотнее чем последующие.
У меня есть Nord Rack 1, действительно звучит очень плотно, вполне сравнится с аналоговыми синтезаторами (их у меня тоже несколько имеется), но Nord Lead 4 я сравнения не делал сам, так как последнего у меня нет в наличии и у знакомых нет. Но было бы интересно. По возможностям понятно что у 4 их больше, но вот по звучанию как они отличаются на самом деле?

у 1го и 2го нордлида разницы не так много, она есть. но вот 4ка это считаю уже иной синт.
за те деньги которые стоит 4ка, я бы обратил внимание на модуляр 2ой. вот славная машинка во истину, которая соберет и 1ый и второй и третий НЛ, и попытается симитировать 4ку.

А можно подробнее описать разницу в звучании между первым и всеми остальными?

почему бы не выложить аудио фрагменты владельцам разных нордов?-вот и оценит каждый сам для себя.
Вы можете сравнить свой 1й с G2-скачайте с сайта клавии демо G2.
Если есть возможность, сделайте пару демок на nr1 и выложите в тему.

Демки есть и в интернете, но интересно мнение тех, кто лично сравнивал два инструмента. Если в Москве есть желающие с наличием Нордов начиная со второй версии, я готов приехать со своим Nord Rack 1 для сравнения или пригласить к себе.

да нет особого звучания первого наорда перед вторым, это больше миф, да конечно имеет мизерное влияние компонентов, но было оба аппарата на руках поочередно, жаль записи похерил сдохший hdd, но не замечал на голых звучках.

если вы говорите об ограничениях в функционале, то согласен..если что-то принципиально иное-поделитесь информацией о различиях.
понятно, что у ‘железки’ есть d/a, что привносит свои ‘прелести’.

На 96khz — совершенно идентичен в плане звука, или вы считаете что Clavia специально испортили алгоритмы для программной демки? Другой вопрос что функционал порезан сильно, но причем тут «непохожесть»?

Подскажите плиз , как сделать так , чтобы nord leed 4 отображался в logic pro X как плагин?

скачать плагин, установить, поделиться ссылкой. Нетю пока никаких плагинов. От Clavia не будет точно (небыло еще за всю историю). Возможно сделает Midi Quest, но очень наврятли. Ибо для NL3 снятого с производства в далеком уже 2007-м они только только в этом году собираются Librarian сделать, а оплагине даже речи не идет.
Возможно плагин сделают на ресурсе http://ctrlr.org Это более вероятно. Вообще плаг не помешал бы, чисто что б автоматизацию удобно было б в секвенсоре писать.
Кстати, вот заказал я себе NL4 клавишу, жду, на будущей неделе наверное придти должна будет ужо. Хоть она и ужыс как переоцененая, но страсть моя к нордам велика и слепа любовь к ним! :girl_pinkglassesf: :girl_in_love: :russian_ru:

Bloo

bloodykot,
Почем заказали?

Bloodykot, а правда что на 4-м лиде тяжело нарулить мягкие звуки или пэды как на 3-м. Тут просто подвернулся рэк Нл4 в идеале за 50. Но по звукам 3-го норда и его интерфейсу я скучаю, думаю может его опять купить? за 35 можно взять

Цыхра,

По поводу мягких звуков- да, тяжело рулить. Сам 4-ый имеет очень конкретный точный звук, а унисон детьюн у него не совсем так как на 3-м работает. Но если постобработкой, эквалайзером там пройтись, то можно и смягчить дополнительно. Пэды можно рулить, опять таки с поправкой на то, что по умолчанию они будут выходить сочные и яркие. Сильная сторона 4ки- это новая философия работы фильтров. Причем не в смысле новые фильтры, а именно сама работа фильтров вообще. Они имеют регулировку drive и на достаточно больших значениях drive происходит насыщение виртуальных элементов фильтра и он выходит на новый режим работы: начинает жить своей жизнью. Происходит не просто селфосциляция, не просто синусом, а вообще пораждаются мягкие и интересные постзвуки. Пример в теме я приводил. На 3-шке такого не было даже близко.
Люблю трешку очень, а 4-ой восхищаюсь. Не возьмусь советовать что лучше. Из плюсов 4-ки: очень здоровский звук с яйцами и при том aliasing free, басы можно забабахать будь здороров, мало у кого есть 4-ка и она не приелась, широкая гамма звуков из-за достаточно продвинутых осциляторов, уникальные фишки для живой игры. Минусы: цена, по гибкости синтеза не далеко от 2ки убежала и до 3ки ей далековато, эффекты на борту не айс, либо ревер либо дилей и оба тоже не айс, унисон ест полифонию, которая и так не бог весть какая большая, арпеджиатор заменяет собой LFO если его включить, звук резкий, яркий, конкретный и запросто может свалиться в сибилянты.

Да тот пример вроде недоступен уже. Не мог бы ты, если выдастся минутка, назаписывать мне чего-нибудь нордлидовского в wav или aac 256? Какие-нибудь характерные звуки, секвенции. Я на томан.де послушал там в рэковом 6 штук, мне понравилась только первая в начале. А то голову ломаю вот, потому как если не срастется с обменом вируса на GT, то у меня есть набор из аппаратов, которые хочу купить на вырученные от виря деньги. В этом списке норды 3/4, пульс 2, саб 37

Тем временем, Sound Quest MIDIQuest 11 сделали поддержку Nord Lead 4. Спасибо конечно, но 4кой и без ваших усилий с каталогизацией пресетов все было хорошо. А вот поддержку NL3 давным давно пора было сделать. Иначе какого черта я плачу за вашу программу и обновляюсь как дурак еще 9ой версии?! [здесь должен быть тэг: рука-лицо]

Тем временем, Clavia сделала отличный подарок к рождеству для всех обладателей Nord Lead 4, выпустив долгожданное обновление прошивки ОС до версии 1.30.

Ура, товарищи! Отличный подарок. Долгожданные улучшения.

Товарищи!! Помогите!В связи с рукожопостью не могу настроить nord lead 4 rack. Midi клавиатура m-audio keystation, карта focusrite pro 24 dsp. Расклад такой: миди шнур из клавиатуры в синт, из синта 2 jack’а в inputs карты. На самом синтене горит лампочка «левел», то есть я запутался вообще

извините, НЕ горит лампочка «левел»

Если вы об индикаторе Level около крутилки OUTPUT, то он и не должен гореть. Она будет гореть при использовании в режиме морфинга (будет показывать изначальный уровень при кручении крутилки). Есть 2 способа ваш рек подключить к компу: по midi и по USB. По midi установите в меню MIDI пункт 1 в режим MIDI Port, который в вашем случае возможно стоит на USB MIDI. Но можете и второй вариант- раздать MIDI по USB, а аудио забрать уже в вашу аудио карту.

Спасибо большое! направление понял! Но я не знаю как переключить…нажимаю на кнопку «b» (midi) и одни цифры…:frusty: вот запара….

Shift+Midi (slot B), затем крутилкой выбора программы крутите до 1. Если 1.Р — это режим midi port, если 1.U — это режим USB Midi. Режим меняется нажатием Shift и кручением ручки выбора программы. Все это что бы не забыли написано на морде вашего синтезатора, а так же есть в мануале.

Performance

@bloodykot, а также другие юзеры инструмента, может подскажете такой момент — в режиме одиночных патчей, когда выставляю темп BPM через тап или крутилкой, то он устанавливается таким вообще во всех патчах, что очень странно.. А что если у меня под конкретную песню сохранен звук с нужным темпом, и тут он съезжает.. В режиме перфоменса, кстати, тоже надо глянуть этот момент..

Народ, а может с Норда 4 кто-нибудь звук а-ля суперпила выложить? Хочется оценить насколько чисто она может звучать

Вот как тут например первые 30 секунд или с первой минуты, это 3-й норд

Как таковой суперпилы нет, так что вот: начинается 2 пилы с увеличивающимся детьюном и полным унисоном, потом добавляем 30% softsync, потом без softsync включаем comb filter, в конце все вместе.
Иных путей не знаю.
