ABOUT Its an emulation of the Clavia Nord Lead 2 and 2x
so it's almost the same features as the hardware:
virtual analogue, in non x version 16 voices.. compared.. to nordlead2 / nord lead 2x yes: it has the same sound characteristics as the nord lead 2 and modular / g2(x). no, it is not the same as g2 or NM, you CAN emulate it, but it is better if you want a VA/standard subtractive. why? it ias a polysynth user interface for fast live access that has a structure.. it is not modular,.. thats of help with those LED knobs - you always see what the sound is like without playing .. on the modulars (g2 / NM1) you need to help yourself or look at the patch on the screen. the g2 has LED knobs ,too.. but for it's modular philosophy it is more open and you need to read the display.. but sonically they are really the same , almost.. and: well the g2 and nm are much more flexible, that the "price" for the open architecture.. imo the G2 has the most optimised and fast surface of all modular systems available today! why? you can assign parameters and midi controllers by less klicks than on others, it has 5 displays and shows it's name and value, so you can use it as a controller box,too.. the older NM has only one display so you need to press the "find" knob very often and so it is the one that needs the computer screen most ;) ..

ABOUT Ansich emulation des Clavia Nord Lead 2 oder 2x, - der ist: virtuell analog, ohne x 16 stimmig und mit 20bit wandlern
ABOUT
DETAILS FM and a specialty called synched noise which sounds a bit like Wavetables like PPG with some added chaos.
DETAILS hat FM und synched noise, eine ein PPG Waves erinnernde klangveränderung mit "hart synchronisiertem Noise".
DETAILS
SOUND since the NL2 has a nice quick and easy to use drum mode and fast envelopes is is fine for percussion, the synched noise and parameter morphing makes evolving pads possible with a bit of chaotic shimmering - a bit weak compared to the original.
SOUND mit dem synched noise und dem parametermorphing können ineinander übergehende klänge gut gemacht werden, durch die schnellen Hüllkurven können auch Percussion Klänge gebaut werden, Der NL2 hat einen feinen sehr schnell zu bedienenden Drum Mode - etwas schlapp im Vergleich zum Original.
SOUND
VERSION pc only, on software alternatie: synth1 - but there is hardware alternative also:
there is an identical version as rack, the later Nord Lead 2x has more memory but no card slot and 20 Voices. NL2x vs. 2: the 2x is the same as the 2 with card built in, so it has 24bit DA convertors and about 300 patches / 30 drumkits compared to 10 drumkits and 40 patches with no card on the older NL2 - thats all! 16 voices, 4 slots. the old NL1: has 4 to 12 voices and there has been an update that added synched noise and some other features that are worth the update. anyway it is always below the nl2.. some important routings that were added from nl1 to nl2: -distortion (filter saturation) -more filter models (added in soft eprom update on the nl1) -LFO1/2 more routings like filter mod by LFO2, echo mode added and 2 waveforms added (smoothed random, very cool!)! -modENV (AD) PW mod possible in NL2 -more waveforms (OSCs) - sine added for better FM sounds -noise synchable, sounds a bit like wavetables ;) -ringmod added. -keytracking now more than "on/off"
