Nord Lead 3 - Advanced Subtractive Performance Synthesizer - Shipping

The long awaited synthesizer from Clavia, the Nord Lead 3 - Advanced Subtractive Performance Synthesizer, is now shipping! Originally shown at the Frankfurt Musikmesse last year, its performance has now been utterly enhanced. Clavia claims the new Nord Lead 3 to be the world´s best performance synthesizer, introducing several new and exciting features tailored for the performing keyboard player. You get, for example, Keyboard Hold, parallel polyphonic glide in legato mode, single-key triggering of whole chords and even clusters of slightly detuned voices for super-unison effects. Clavia also added monophonic operation with highest/lowest note priority which works like a sort of floating keyboard split when layered with a polyphonic sound. You can also sync the LFOs and Arpeggiator to the global Master Clock or MIDI Clock.

The Unison with retained full polyphony has been widely improved and now offers 5 complete detuned virtual voices per note - in stereo! All these functions, and more, comes housed in a compact and roadworthy metal chassis that weighs less than 6.3 kg. The Nord Lead 3 will certainly set apart in shops, studios and on stage with its innovative design and awesome sound quality. Simply put: welcome to The Ultimate Performance Synthesizer! Nord Rack 3, the 19" wide and 5 units high rack version, will start to ship in April!
