25th anniversary of a landmark instrument ? ?
Clavia was founded in 1983 by Hans Nordelius. The very first products
involved digital audio and samples, infant technologies in those days.
Some 12 years later Clavia launched the original Nord Lead, which made
a huge impact on the synthesizer community and the MI business. The
Nord Lead was Clavia's first keyboard instrument and was to lead the
way for Clavia as a company. To commemorate Clavia's 25th anniversary,
the company created the Nord Lead Anniversary Model Limited Edition.
This collectible synthesizer will be made in a limited production run
that will consist of only 299 units (only 75 in the U.S.).The Nord Lead
Anniversary Model Ltd. Edition shares the specifications with the Nord
Lead 2x and is visually distinctive, with a custom printed front panel
and inverted color scheme on the keyboard. The individually numbered
units will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity, signed by
Mr. Nordelius.
Great sound of the Nord Lead 2 with expanded memory and more presets
Using the same specs as the Nord Lead 2X, the Nord Lead Anniversary
Model has the same powerful sound engine and specifications as the Nord
Lead 2, except for the new internal memory that holds a huge amount of
factory sounds and a lot of space for your own sounds. Thanks to the
large internal memory, there is no longer any need for additional
PCMCIA cards. The Nord Lead 2X comes with 3 x 99 user Programs, 100
user Performances and 3 x 10 user Percussion Kits plus 7 x 99 factory
Programs, 3 x 100 factory Performances and 7 x 10 factory Percussion
Kits. The Nord Lead 2X is 100% patch compatible with the Nord Lead 2
which means that you can transfer sounds between the models via MIDI.
20-voice polyphony handles dense layered sounds
The Nord Lead Anniversary Model comes with 20 voices polyphony - very
useful when creating layered sounds, "power pads", awesome leads and
booming basses. 20 voices are also very beneficial in sequencing
situations when you use more than one sound at a time.
More user program spaces and performance memory
The Nord Lead Anniversary Model comes with a large internal memory
holding 4 x 99 user Programs, 100 user Performances and 4 x 10 user
Percussion Kits plus 6 x 99 factory Programs and 3 x 100 factory
Performances! The Nord Lead Anniversary Model is 100% patch compatible
with the Nord Lead 2 which means that you can transfer sounds directly
between the models via MIDI.
Crystal-clear sound quality from improved 24-bit/96kHz converters
The awesome sound in the Nord Lead Anniversary Model is refined even
further thanks to the brand new, crystal clear 24-bit DACs running at
96kHz.
