And an image and some info via the Clavia Website:

"Nord Lead Anniversary Model Ltd. EditionClavia was founded 25 years ago by Hans Nordelius. The very first products from us involved digital audio and samples, technologies that were well and truly in its infancy back in 1983. 13 years ago Clavia launched the original Nord Lead, which made a huge impact on the synthesizer community and the MI business. The Nord Lead was Clavia's first keyboard instrument and was to lead the way, not only for the MI business but also for the direction of Clavia as a company. In order to commemorate this first 25th anniversary for Clavia, we have created the Nord Lead Anniversary Model Limited Edition. This collectible synthesizer will be made in a limited production run that will consist of only 299 units. The Nord Lead Anniversary Model Ltd. Edition shares the specifications with the Nord Lead 2x and will be easily recognizable with a custom printed front panel and the inverted color scheme on the keyboard. The individually numbered units will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Mr Nordelius."

  1. Totally stoked for this. Just pre-ordered! This'll end up being my third Nord Lead in a single year...

  2. They had me until 2x was referenced. Total buzzkill and dealbreaker.

    NL1 - yeah, I'd line up to buy it. 2x???? Nah, thx I'll pass. I'll just hang on to my NL1Kbd + NL3 rack.

    totally don't dig 2x "harshness"

  3. I actually prefer the harshness. GIves me a fighting chance in the mix. My guitar player is pretty doggone loud.

  4. And the mod wheel makes a good knife-sharpening blade.
