General
The Nord Lead 4 is an innovative 4-part multi-timbral synthesizer with 49 touch-sensitive keys. All four of the sounds can be routed to their own output and edited via an expansive filter and effect section. Along with the classic analogue sound waves, the Nordlead 4 also has a Wavetable mode with unique Formant wavetables. With the True Voice mode, you can stack up to four oscillators to create leads and pads with the True Voice Unison mode.
Nord Lead 4: filters
Compared with the Nord Lead 2X, you'll find a number of new filter types and on-board effects. Along with the traditional low-pass (12/24dB), high-pass and band-pass filters, you can also choose from two transistor and ladder filters for a wonderfully extreme sound. There are seven programmable variations per sound at your disposal, and you can apply your chosen filter values in real time with the simple turn of a dial. You can even sync the filters with your sequencer!
Effects
Once you've set everything up, you can then fine-tune the sound per part via the expansive effect section of the the Nord Lead 4. For this, you have the choice of the following effects: bit-crusher, talk and distortion, reverb and delay.
