Nord Lead 2X Synth Keyboard

Nord Lead 2X Keyboard replaces the groundbreaking Lead 2 range of synths from Clavia, but retains the unmistakeable Nord livery. Nord Lead 2X turns up the volume in terms of performance when compared to the original Nord Lead and Nord Lead 2, which rank amongst the most popular synthesizers ever built.

The Nord Lead range of synth keyboards first hit the streets back in 1995. They were based on Clavia's virtual analog technology and took the music world by storm. Nord Lead synths instantly became an industry standard and now they are more powerful than ever with the Lead 2X.

The warm analog sound of the delivered by the Nord Lead synthesizers, coupled with cutting-edge digital technology from Clavia, moved it into a “leading” position in the synthesizer community. Musicians from all over the world loved its simplicity, intuitive design, and its musicality and expression offered with the virtual analog concept.

The Nord Lead 2 improved upon the original Nord Lead, including expanded polyphony. A decade later, the Nord Lead, and its descendant the Nord Lead 2, are still among the most popular synths ever built. Used worldwide on stage and in studios, the Nord Lead series has contributed to the signature sounds of some of the most popular musicians and producers known today.
