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.

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.

20-voice polyphony handles dense layered sounds
