Comments about Nord Lead 2X - 49-Key Virtual Analog Synthesizer:
I can only emphasize what has already been said about this but here it goes. First, you notice that build quality is rock solid (literally I might add), STONE mod wheel, WOOD pitch stick, METAL body… no chincy plastic junk. The layout is simple and clean, enough knobs and buttons to give your freedom but not so many options that would make sound design too overwhelming. Best of all: NO display screen (I don't count the three digit LED) or menu pages to slow you down, trust me that is a good thing. This thing is an instrument, not a tool, not an interface, but a musical instrument without all the superfluous technical nonsense.
Okay so I wrote a review without even talking about how the thing sounds… my advice: listen to the audio demos, listen to youtube videos and make your own opinion. The way it feels might sound superficial, but the interaction with an instrument is the main reason why I use hardware and not software synths to begin with (don't even pretend assigning a midi controller is a viable substitute for a true hardware synth).
This is a machine with a soul, make love to it.
