Clavia Nord Lead 2X

Hmmm..very fascinating board! I was paying particular attention to the 2X,as the Nord 3 seems to be a thing of the past-could not find one new.

I'm really turning into a gear *** at this point,but the thought of buying a multi track recorder and then layering my Korg sequences with a Nord 2X would be astounding!
The Nord has 990 program presets & the audio demos sound incredible,even without any effects added to them...very stunning.

Years down the road,I probably end up owning both the Kurzweil & the Nord.

The Nord is really priced right & it has unsurpassed sounds for a grand.Very impressive.

Aha! I'm glad you discoverd the Nords. The Nordlead 3 isn't produced anymore because of compliancy with the enviro,mental regulations. A pitty, because this is a fantastic machine. The Nord 2X is still out there and a hell of a machine. I don't want to start a riot, but this one sounds far better than VA softsynths.

Moon,

Could you elaborate on the enviromental restrictions regarding the Nord Lead 3?

I'm just wondering why the Nord Lead 3 was singled out as being an enviromental issue,& not any of the other Nord models? Very strange.

In Europe there is a new regulation: electronic equipment may not contain lead on the circuit boards. The Nord lead 3 had too many circuits with lead (I think the lcd display which the nordlead2 doesn't have). Clavia decided to stop the production and develop the succesor of the Nordlead3 (being the Nord Wave) instead of changing the circuits.
