Lots of new sounds for Nord Lead 4 Synth

Six very different sound designers have created a wide range of new sounds covering everything from classic analog vintage leads and pads, FM pianos, evil distorted rave basses and complex performance patches with multilayered synchronized arpeggiating monsters and much more.

Thanks to ASL SoundLab, Federico Solazzo, Åke Danielson, Palle Dahlstedt, Kristofer Ulfves and Ulf “Vinyl” Stenberg for their work on creating these sounds! The sounds are compatible with the Nord Lead 4 and the Nord Lead 4R and are transferred using the Nord Sound Manager.

Kristofer Ulfves Bank NEW

Federico Solazzo Bank NEW

Federico tells us “my aim in designing these sounds was to make this synth react and interact with the users, “forcing” them to listen and react as well! Like a massive synth in a real acoustic instrument behavior box! It will never sound the same, and it will take time to learn how to play with its reactions”.

Federico Solazzo is a sophisticated and eclectic pianist of funk-soul origins. At the moment, he’s playing along (as keyboardist, musical director and programmer) with Italian pop-star Alexia on her world tour and with the band of the amazing Jamal Thomas (Maceo Parker’s drummer). He’s been endorsed by Nord Keyboards since 2008.
