The Nord Lead 2X has the same characteristic soundfunctions as the Nord Lead 2, except for some very nice improvements:
X-tra polyphony: The Nord Lead 2X comes with 20 voices polyphony - very useful when creating layered sounds, "power pads", awesome leadsbooming basses. 20 voices are also very beneficial in sequencing situations when you use more than one sound at a time.
X-tra memory: The Nord Lead 2X comes with a large internal memory holding 4 x 99 user Programs, 100 user Performances4 x 10 user Percussion Kits plus 6 x 99 factory Programs3 x 100 factory Performances! The Nord Lead 2X is 100% patch compatible with the Nord Lead 2 which means that you can transfer sounds directly between the models via MIDI.
X-tra high resolution: The awesome sound in the Nord Lead 2X is refined even further thanks to the brand new, crystal clear 24-bit DACs running at 96kHz.
Features Specs:
Polyphony
20 voices. 4 part multi-timbral.
Special features
-Velocity programming: Each function that is controlled by a knob, can be programmed to be controlled by velocity.
-Morphing: Each function that is controlled by a knob can also be controlled by the modulation wheel/pedal to continuously fade between two sets of values.
Performance controllers
-Octave Shift buttons (+/-2 oct.)
-Keyboard Split, two sections.
User interface
-3 digit LED display, 26 knobs27 buttons for program editing.
Oscillator section
-Oscillator 1 generating sine, triangle, sawtoothpulse wave with adjustable width. Oscillator 2 generating triangle, sawtoothpulse (with adjustable width)can also generate noise with a color control. Oscillator 2 can be hard synched to oscillator 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 synchable noise, where noise can be synched to Osc. 1.
Filter section
-12 dB "2 pole" lowpass, 24 dB "4 pole" lowpass, bandpass highpass, Notch + Lowpass. Cut off, resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity. ADSR envelope. Filter keyboard tracking can be set to full, 2/3, 1/3off. Filter distortion.
Amplifier section
-ADSR envelope, gain control.
Modulation section
-Lfo 1 generating triangle, saw, pulse, LF filtered noiserandom staircase routed to Osc 1+2, Osc 2, filter, pulse-widthFM amount. Lfo 2 produces a triangle waveform, routed to Osc 12amplifier. It also controls the rate for the arpeggiator. Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave. Modes: up, down, up/down, random. Echo can be set between 18 repeats. Modulation envelope (attack, decay) for Osc 2 pitch, FM amountpulse width.
Performance section
Play mode: Poly, legato, mono, unison mono, unison poly. Manual mode. Four program slots for layering possibilities. Portamento/Auto portamento.
Percussion kits
40 user "analog" percussion kits. Each percussion kit holds 8 independent sounds, configured in 8 zones across the keyboard.
Internal memory
Programs (single sounds): 990 (396 (4 x 99) user, 594 (6 x 99) factory).
Performances (multi sounds): 400 (100 user, 300 (3 x 100) factory).
Percussion kits (multi zone sounds): 40 (4 x 10) user.
Audio Out
4 outputs. Each slot can have its own output. Modes: Stereo, mono multitimbral mode. Headphones output. High resolution, low noise 24-bit DACs running at 96kHz.
MIDI features
All control knobsswitches for program editing transmitreceive Control Change messages. System exclusive bulk dumps. One Program/Performance all Programs/Performances in a bank. MIDI clock synchronizing LFO 1 LFO 2/arpeggiator restart. Triggering of the filteramplifier envelopesvelocity control from separate programmable MIDI channel note numbers. Fully patch compatible with Nord Lead 2/Nord Rack 2.
