Synth Archives: Nord Lead 4 First Performance Preset Improv
New video from Mark Mosher exploring the Nord Lead 4
A video from my archives. I made this in January of 2014 when I was only 5 hours in with Nord Lead 4. This video shows off the first three single-slot custom presets I created (the Nord Lead 4 can is really 4 independent synths). Some pretty cool stereo imaging about half-way in so use headphones. I’m getting huge timbre and rhythm texture shifts by morphing a whole lot of parms (arp speed, delay time, filter, distortion…) with the mod wheel and morph buttons.
The Nord Lead 4 went on to be my primary controller and synth for studio and live work at festivals throughout 2014.

Analog Feelings – 128 presets for Nord Lead 3
Demo of some sounds from the above mentioned sound set. With this pack I tried to get closer to the sound of an analogue synth. Of course, a VA can replace an analogue, but if you already own a NL3, you can try make it sounds like an analogue synth. Please ignore the sound that get stacked on the background, sometimes my Logic Pro is having fun sending MIDI signals (I noticed only after I finished the demo.
Presets can be found at: http://www.albaecstasy.ro/nord-lead-3…

Nord Sample Library featuring the legendary Fairlight sampler
Nord has announced a major addition to the Nord Sample Library, the sounds of the legendary Fairlight digital sampler.
The Fairlight was the first commercially available polyphonic sampler when launched back in 1979 and it opened up the doors of sampling to many artists and producer during the 80′s.
The 300+ sounds in this collection were all sampled from a newly overhauled Fairlight CMI System IIx, with detailed mapping to capture the characteristic Fairlight sound. The Nord Sample Library is compatible with the Nord Wave, Nord Electro 3/4, Nord Piano 2 and Nord Stage 2.
