hello and been watching videos on nord lead ye seen that the most used for trance music is the Nord Lead 3.

Searched for music shops in Alicante (Spain) I find that the synthesizer is out of print and very little time I have to buy a nord lead

is good for the Nord Lead 2x trance music?
hope you can help
Thanks

if i good remember David 7 Skies using nord lead 2 and he making amamzing trance music

[Chensington]

Asking if a Nord Lead 2 is good for trance is like asking if a TB-303 is good for acid. It's a no-brainer.

If I had the money I would buy one in a heartbeat.

This might answer your question. Go to about 2:50 into the video.

DiscoDSP "Discovery" VSTi synth is pretty much the emulation of this nordlead 2. It can import nordlead 2 patches.

It's a very nice sounding synth from what I've heard. Some people actually prefer the sound of the Nord 2 to the Nord 3.

Nord is very strong and hard sounding HW synth. If I had the money, I would buy it right now.

I agree with BOOBOO, the DSP Discovery is fantastic. I'd save your money and buy that.

My only gripe with it is that the GUI is black, not the sexy red that Clavia use for their products.

Must admit, I have a lot of time for Clavia, the Nord Stage is one of the nicest piano keyboards I've ever used. The feel is great and the construction is top notch.

When it comes to synths though, I'd say DiscoDSP have done an exemplary job.

I'm thinking about selling mine actually (nordlead 2 not 2x), it is a great piece of hardware and sounds awesome, very easy to put it in the right place in the mix if you know what i mean.
its attack is awesome and sound very rich even when it comes to very simple sounds like a single wave pluck etc.
The only thing is that I spend way too much trying to get the sound I want out of it so sometimes I just don't bother and go with something else (especially with short deadlines) Anyway plenty of sounds in my tracks were done with it, Caffeine Bass for example, always in caffeine, that guitar kind of sound in the buildup, I'm using it quite a lot in the new remix I'm doing for anjunabeats and I used it for past works as well.
Best thing you could do is try it, its sound is very particular and you might find yourself disappointed especially if you are looking for "supersawy" or "epictrancey" sounds, I would recommend it as a second synth, just as a cool extra gear rather than primary synth but that's just my personal opinion

With the truth is that I'm not going to risk buying a nord lead 2x is a lot of money and I have to make sure that I serve to my official studio trance as marked in the budget is composed of

Virus TI Snow
Q49 Alexis Keyboard
Spectrasonics Omnisphere VSTi 6 DVD'S 349€


I think this may be beginning =)
Thank you very much for your comments

Are beans good for making you fart?

Hey, I have a Nord Wave and it is fantastic. But I also used to have an Access Virus C which I loved but sold when I moved. I think you cant go wrong with a Nord or a Virus - and the TI Snow has the benefit of acting like a VST. I intend to buy one of those soon, so let me know how you like it

Omnisphere is awesome too.

My advice would be learn the Virus and Omnisphere inside out. and use as few other VSTs as possible. Narrowing down the number of possibilities will make you a better sound designer and the production process easier (i wish I had done that!! haha).

Good luck
