Clavia Nord Lead 3 Performance Synthesizer Virtual Analog KeyboardLatest version 1.2 - The edit ability and control of this synth design beats both older and newer Nord Lead models hands down.This keyboard has been cleaned and tested - new key contact rubber strips installed, restoring the life of the keyboard. Works perfectly, with the following noted items:cosmeticcontrol knob top missing (see pic 2)Small dent on back side center (see pic 8)small chips in paint (see pic 3 and 8)minor surface scratches (not enough to show in photos)functionheadphone jack works perfectly in stereo with it pushed most of the way in, but only in mono if pushed all the way inEverything else, including all the keys, aftertouch, pitch bend, mod wheel, lights, display, knobs, etc. are working perfectly. I have done my best to test and disclose an accurate and honest description and condition of this keyboard. This keyboard is sold AS IS and there is no warranty. Please ask questions and I will respond with more detail as needed. Nord makes great solid, road worthy equipment, so this keyboard should last you for years. One of their best Lead synths and has many features not found on other Nord Leads - read the reviews and opinions. As you probably know already, many seek out this specific model over the others.
Information from Nord (see more on their site and online reviews):
When you add together its vast sound capabilities, extremely intuitive and direct user interface, performance features and compact size, you simply have The Ultimate Performance Synthesizer. Whether on stage or in the studio, you will be able to create the sounds you want – and much faster than on any other existing synthesizer.With the first Clavia Nord Lead back in 1995, Clavia introduced the Virtual Analog concept: analog synthesis emulated in real-time by digital signal processors, coupled with a fast and immediate one-knob-for-each-function user interface. With the Nord Lead 3 Clavia takes Virtual Analog to a higher level and introduces the Advanced Subtractive Performance Synthesizer. ‘Advanced Subtractive’ because of the extremely flexible sound engine, featuring a combination of traditional shapeable waveforms and a very intuitive 2 or 4 operator FM engine. All this can be routed through the high quality multi filter for further shaping. ‘Performance Synthesizer’ because of its unsurpassed user interface and play control functions such as: keyboard hold, parallel polyphonic glide in legato mode, single-key triggering of whole chords and even clusters of slightly detuned voices for super-unison effects. You also get four separate Morph groups per sound, instantly controllable from the keyboard and the left panel section. Nord Lead 3 also sports the unique and sensitive Pitch Stick for expressive pitch bend control. All these functions are packed in a compact and roadworthy metal chassis that weighs less than 6.3 kg!PERFORMANCE CONTROLLERS4-octave Velocity and Aftertouch sensitive keyboard with Octave Shift functionality (+/- 2 octaves).Keyboard Split (two sections). Modulation Wheel. Pitch Stick with no dead zone at zero crossing.Chord Memory / Stack.Keyboard Hold.Sustain Pedal and Control Pedal input.USER INTERFACE2 x 16 character backlit LCD and 3-digit LED.26 rotary encoder knobs with circular LED graphs for instant control.4 regular knobs and 45 buttons.Big Rotary Dial encoder for system editing, sound selection, MIDI functions etc.
