I think Clavia is indeed improving NordLead series, but we won't be seeing TI-like stuff on Nordleads because Clavia focuses making NL's for performing keyboardists. I think we'll see wavetables, etc, with easy patch switching and NL's famous cut-through sound, just what players need.

NL's for players, Modulars for studio. That's my guess.

Juho,
Sounds like you have them spot on. i would tend to agree with everything you have said. Although I would like to see some built in fx on the NL series.

What's up with the new designed site? May be some new products 8O

Looks nice, and it is probably not a coincidence knowing that Messe '05 is right around the corner too. Ought to be interesting stuff unfolding in the next 4 weeks.

Indeed it does come with a new product @ Messe '05!!

...It says so on their site. "Discover our new model"!



with a link to an Adobe PDF teaser.

The plot thickens.... 8)

By the size of that pic, it looks like a full-on 61-noter.

PS > What does "puff mitten" mean in Swedish? "New product", I guess?

"Bilder", as well?

my guess is either an new electro, or a new Lead. Maybe they smartened up and decided to put 61 keys in the nord series. Dont know, but I am interested. <-- done buying gear for the year, but doesn't top G.A.S.

Puff = Puff. (In other words, nothing).

Mitten = Middle.. So i guess that is just all jibberish.

Bilder = Pictures.

A swedish lesson

I *really* hope its not an Electro or something. Id love to see a 61 key Nord 4 with inbuilt effects from the G2 engine

Would you buy that instead of a TI? Just curious :wink:

Merlot....Id prob try and buy both.....just for the ultimate VA combo. Then id be done with buying VA's.....
