Ok here is my studio. Notice I have way to much crap around because of summer school.
ok here it is from left to right
Left mackie 1604 vlz pro, emu xlead, fmr rnc, patch bay
Middle jomox xbase, tb 303 (buy in on ebay) genelecs
Right yamaha ex5, korg t1
Ground rs7000, ms2000r, some pedals
Nord lead 3, some idiot spilled coke on a few buttons... I had to clean them... I am waiting for replacements. Best of, I bought it used in "mint condition."
In progress paia kits, vocoder, fatman, and tube preamp

I love it I demoed many synths before I decided on the NL3. Not to knock the other big synths like the Virus, Supernova, Waldorf, Jp, etc.. but the best way to judge a synth is by playing with it dry. The NL3 has no onboard effects so what you hear is totally dry although the unison detune sound alot like a Chorus.
So i tested every synth dry without effects because frankly most effects on a hardware synth are not that great as is compared to top notch hardware fx racks.
And the Nord destroyed all of them. Even dry it's rich, warm, fuzzy and has incredible sound quality. It's incredible at making power leads (From dance oriented styles likeIan Van Dahl all the way to trancier stuff ala Thrillseekers, Armin)but the best it does is pads. Never heard pads so rich and thick before. It can do even orchestral stuff which is absolutely mindblowing, and its great for basses and fx also.
The filters could be better. Don't get me wrong they are nice but not the same character as the ones on the virus. The virus has ferocious filter that can really squel.
It's 4 part multitimbral with 24 voices and it can store over 1000 presets in 8 banks.
By the way Flashback, it hurts me too see your nord in that condition. I hope it gets fixed real soon. Nice genelecs

it still works, it is just the two lfo wave form buttons are all sticky. I took it apart and removed the buttons, cleaned the board and buttons, but I need to align one of the buttons. Also I might just wait for the new buttons from nord, since these are just kind of messed up.
I do agree, the nord lead 3 is rather amazing. I keep on saying where the hell are the effects, but it sends chills through my body without them. Yet, I don't really use much effects except on the computer anyway. On my ex5 I just make detuned leads and multilayered pads, not using much reverb etc because it never sits well in a mix. I can make the fattest sounds in the world on my ex5... but it just doesn't work well in the mix. Similar to a roland jupiter being to fat of a sound.

Yeah I hear that from alot of people. I know a few guys who actually sold their virus c cause it was to hard for them to get it to sit in the mix.But then again i heard people say the nl3 is hard to get to sit in a mix. I think it really depends on the sound your after and the style you produce.
