Description Brand: Clavia Analog/Digital: Digital Type: Modular Synthesizer Country/Region of Manufacture: Sweden Features: Arpeggiator, Built-In Effects MPN: NL4R Inputs/Outputs: 6.35mm (1/4") TRS/TS Out Model: Nord Lead 4R
SPECIAL FEATURESMorph: One or more continuous (knob-type) parameters can be controlled by keyboard velocity and/or the Modulation Wheel/Control Pedal.Impulse Morphs: Both continuous (knobs) and switch parameters can have alternate value settings activated by Impulse Morph buttons. 7 unique Impulse Morphs possible by pressing a combination of the 3 buttons.Master Clock: The LFO rates, Arpeggio rate and Delay time can be synchronized to an internal or external (via MIDI) clock, with selectable rhythmic divisions.Mutator: Automatic program generator with adjustable style and strength.GENERAL FEATURESOctave shift buttons, +/-2 octaves.3 momentary Impulse Morph Buttons, 7 combinations.Keyboard Split with 2 slots for the upper and lower sections.Modulation Wheel (keyboard version only).Pitch Stick with no dead zone at zero crossing (keyboard version only).Programmable Pitch bend range, up to +/- 4 octavesSeparate up/down bend range: -12 or -24 semitones, + 2 semitones1 pedal input for sustain.1 pedal input for expression pedal.USER INTERFACE3 character LED display, 29 knobs and 20+ buttons for program and performance editing.OSCILLATOR SECTIONOSC 1 generating sine, triangle, sawtooth, fixed and modulateable pulse waveforms and 128 wavetables.OSC 2 generating triangle, sawtooth or fixed and modulateable pulse waveforms or noise.OSC MOD section with Hard- and Soft sync plus 3 different Frequency Modulations of OSC 1 from OSC 2.FILTER SECTIONMulti-mode filter with 12 dB (2-pole) low pass, 24 dB (4-pole) and 48 dB (6 pole) low pass, band pass, high pass, Ladder M and Ladder 303 characteristics.Cut off, Resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity.ADSR envelope.Filter keyboard tracking can be set to off, 1/3, 2/3 or 1/1.Adjustable Filter Distortion.MODULATION SECTIONLFO 1 generates a square, triangle or any of 4 different types of saw- and inverted sawtooth waveforms. LFO 1 can be routed to Filter Frequency, Osc Mod, Osc Mix, Osc 2 Pitch, Amplitude and FX section. The modulation amount can be set as positive or negative/inverted. The LFO 1 rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.The LFO 1 section is used to control the rate, range and directions for the arpeggiator. Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave. Modes: up, down, up/down, random, Poly. The Arpeggio rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.LFO 2 generates a square, a regular and inverted sawtooth, LF filtered noise and random staircase waveforms. LFO 2 can be routed to Filter Frequency, Osc Mod, Osc 1 and/or Osc 2 Pitch, Pan and Pulse width. The modulation amount can be set as positive or negative/inverted. The LFO 2 rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.Modulation Envelope (Attack, Decay/Release) for Osc Mix, Osc Mod, Osc 1 and/or 2 Pitch, FX section and LFO 2 amount. The modulation amount can be set as positive or negative/inverted. The Modulation Envelope can be manually triggered by the Impulse Morph buttons.Patterns: the cyclic waveforms of the LFOs can be replaced by a pattern behavior. There are 128 different patterns, grouped in 6 different styles.AMPLIFIER SECTIONADSR envelope, velocity control on/off, gain control.PERFORMANCE SECTIONVoice modes: Poly, Legato with portamento, Mono, True Unison 1, 2 & 3.Four program slots for layering possibilities.EFFECTSFX section with continuous Drive/Modulation control. Crush, Drive, 2 different Talk effects, Compressor and Comb Filter.Selectable Delay or Reverb. Delay times at up to 1400 ms can be manually set or synchronized to the Master Clock. Reverb has three algorithms, Room, Stage and Hall with adjustable brightness.MEMORYPrograms (single sounds): 4 x 99 locationsPerformances (multi sounds): 99 locationsAUDIO OUT4 outputs. Each slot can be assigned to its own output.Headphones output.High resolution low noise 24 bit DACs.MIDI FEATURESAll control knobs and switches send and receive control change messages.System exclusive bulk dumps.
