Clavia needs to come out with a Nord Lead 3X.

FML Nord Lead 4

http://www.nordkeyboards.com/main.a...lpm=Nord_Lead_4

It's like they completely forgot about the Nord Lead 3 and just made improvements to the Nord Lead 2X.

Key features the Nord Lead 4 is missing:
*Dedicated Sync/FM for each OSC (NL3 has this)
*Endless encoders (NL3 has this)
*A fucking medium res LCD screen. It's 2013 and I like naming my patches. (NL3 has this)
*A third OSC or at least a dedicated sub and noise OSC. It's fucking the fourth version and they're asking $2,300 USD for it.

On the plus side, at least they added variable unison (NL3 has this but the NL2X does not). And I like the wavetables and that they aren't over complicated with being able to define your own. Some hate that, but I like the limited scope.

What else do you hate about life?

Endless encoders would be great.

NL4 doesnt seem very special imo. just a 2x with some efex and wavetables. a NL3X i dont see the point, but dont you remember the endless rotaries containing biohazard materials? get rid of it.

I suspect that technology has reached a point where endless rotaries don't actually need to be dangerous.

I'm just waiting for the 4 to be readily available in stores over here so that ebay is flooded with cheap 2X's

Win for me.

The Moog Little Phatty has the exact same endless encoders with 360 degree LEDs. If they can do it, so can Clavia.

Yeah, it does seem like they improved the synth engine. I'm not positive, though.

What I don't get is the 50-60% price hike from 2x to 4

Sure there are some new features, but in the face of more competition these days it seems weird for the UK price to jump from £925 to close to £1600.

Weird marketing decision as it brings it close to the Prophet 12 and Virus Ti2. Both far more glamorous and capable machines I feel.
