Clavia's Nord Lead 2 (1997)

Clavia Nord Lead 2 was launched by the Swedish analog synthesizer manufacturer Clavia in 1997, two years after the production of the original Clavia Nord Lead.

[edit] Design

Compared to synthesizers being constructed via analog components, the Clavia Nord Lead 2 uses digital signal processors (DSPs) programmed to emulate both Subtractive and FM synthesis. Due to Clavia's advanced method of programming, the Clavia Nord Lead 2 reproduces the warmth and richness of the traditional analog sound. This synthesizer also gives one the ability to create a wide palette of sounds through additional modifications.

The chassis of the Nord Lead 2 is painted red with a series of LEDs scattered throughout the upper-lefthand corner of the apparatus.
