"It has been very well kept and lightly used here in our studio. It works great with no operational issues. It looks fantastic as well! In my opinion, this is by far Nords best synth. after this beast it all went downhill for nord. This synth is capable of sounding like a Moog a Prophet 5, an Oberheim ob8 and so much more! Grab this awesome synth for a great price! This is THE best Nord lead of the bunch."

Gentle Synth Layers and Delayed Piano | Weaver’s Shadow 2026-01-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88, and CBX-K1XG.
It is a composition where gentle synthesizer tones are layered with delay-soaked piano sounds.

On the Prophet-10, slow-attack synth pads are performed and processed with reverb and filtering using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

The CP-88 is used to play piano with its built-in delay and reverb.

On the CBX-K1XG, string sounds are performed and processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding reverb and delay.

The Moog One plays soft, low-attack synth pads with a generous amount of reverb applied via its master effects.

The Nord Lead provides additional synth pad layers, processed with reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

As the layered synthesizer sounds gradually overlap and fade away, the piano weaves through the space, filling the gaps between them."

Spacious Synth Layers with Prophet-10, Moog One & CP-88 | Deep Space 2025-12-08 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.

Sustained bass tones form the foundation, over which spacious synths and electric piano textures gradually layer and evolve.

The Prophet-10 is connected to the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, where reverb and filtering add depth and dimension.

On the Moog One, synth pads are performed with aftertouch modulation used to gently bend and animate the sound.

The Nord Lead provides the sustained bass tone, with a slow LFO applied to the filter for subtle movement.

The CP-88 plays a Wurlitzer-style electric piano tone, processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, adding delay and tight micro-loop textures that blend into the atmosphere."

Layered Delays and Shimmering Synths | Loose Connection 2025-12-06 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88.
Layers of delayed and reverberated tones overlap and gradually fade, forming a drifting ambient soundscape.

The Prophet-10 is processed with a deep reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

The CP-88 is recorded in two separate paths: the dry signal and another processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND, adding tape-style coloration.

The Nord Lead is processed with delay using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

On the Moog One, a flute-like tone is performed with a shimmer reverb applied via the master effects, enhancing its airy, ethereal quality."

Nord Modular: The Synthesizer Defined RetroSound's Way

I was one of the first Nord Modular user in germany.
I programmed a lot sound patches for the factory library in the years 1997-1999 and that open many doors for me. You can find my patches with the name 'Marko Ettlich' on the first module.

I had the Nord Modular many years and later the Nord Micro Modular. Happy Times and great memories.
You hear a few demo sounds from the archive (NM demo & demo from different music magazines like keys and keyboards)

Bad Gear - This Time it's PERSONAL

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There is no shortage of synth manufacturers offering costly top-shelf instruments: PolyBrutes, UDOs, all the old stuff but new and even Roland started channeling their inner Teenage Engineering.

Today, however, we are going to talk about Nord Modular. This range of digital high-end modular synths was introduced in 1998 and not only is there no modern successor in sight, they also made it incredibly hard to use the originals properly. This time it’s personal!

80s YAMAHA Rhythm Machine RX17 & Kasane Teto sampled OP-1 field | Resolve 2025-11-11 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ RX17, MU15, and MOTIF-RACK ES. It combines rhythm machine beats, melodies made from sampled vocals of 重音テト Kasane Teto SV, and live bass performance.

On the OP-1 field, the sampler contains Kasane Teto’s voice, which is used to create melodic phrases. At certain points, looping is applied through the NTS-3, and the signal is processed with the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII.

The RX17 rhythm machine is recorded with an ALESIS 3630 compressor applied.

On the MU15, synth sounds are performed using its built-in keyboard, with reverb added via the blueSky.

The Nord Lead plays melodic parts in the middle section of the piece, processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for delay.

The bass is recorded through a SANSAMP Bass Driver DI, routed directly into the audio interface for a clean yet warm tone."

Ambient Music with Prophet-10 x Nord Lead Pelle Mode x OP-1 field | Isthmus 2025-11-03 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field. Set against the sound of flowing water, it features the distorted tones of the Nord Lead’s Pelle mode and softly resonating harmonies, forming a tranquil ambient composition.

The Prophet-10 is connected to the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky, adding rich reverb to its sound.

The Nord Lead is played in Pelle mode, producing a warm, distorted tone. Its output passes through the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for reverb and filtering, and then through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII, which adds a subtle tape effect.

On the OP-1 field, environmental sounds containing water ambience are played continuously using the HOLD sequencer. The playback position is adjusted to vary the texture of the loop throughout the piece."

Ambient with Pelle Mode Nord Lead & OP-1 field : Fluvial Terrace 2025-10-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field — an ambient track built from distorted tones generated in the Nord Lead’s Pelle mode and lo-fi synth pads.

The Nord Lead, when set to Pelle mode, produces an unusually aggressive tone. Its output passes through the ‪@strymon‬ NightSky for reverb and filtering.

On the OP-1 field, a 16-bar synth loop was recorded and played back at a slower tape speed, layering additional sounds during performance. The output is processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ Lossy to achieve a lo-fi texture.

================
How to Enable Pelle Mode on the Nord Lead 1

1.Set Program A to 19 and Program B to 65.
2.Hold down SYSTEM, then press SHIFT.
3.While keeping both buttons held, press SET, then press PERF. MODE.
(Keep SYSTEM and SHIFT held the entire time.)

If you hear a clicking sound, Pelle Mode has been successfully activated.
If the program number displays 75, the attempt failed — this happens when CLEAR is pressed instead of SET."

Ambient session with Field Recording in Tokyo and Moog One : Road of umber 2025-10-17 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and field recordings from the streets of Tokyo — an ambient electronica work where simple, steady performances unfold amid the city’s diverse sounds.

The Moog One performs the harmony, while the Nord Lead plays the melody, processed with deep reverb using the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

The field recordings were captured with an iPhone, then edited in a DAW and processed with reverb, bit reduction, and delay effects."

Minimal Electronic w/ Prophet-10, Moog One, : Arcadia 2025-10-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP-88 — a work of minimal music built from overlapping sequenced phrases that gradually evolve in tone and texture.

All synthesizers are played via MIDI sequences from Ableton Live.

On the Prophet-10, the filter cutoff and resonance are manually adjusted, with the output processed through the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky for reverb.

The Moog One’s EG Amount and waveform Mix parameters are manipulated during playback.

The Nord Lead is processed through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for rich reverb.

At the end of the piece, a deep reverb is added across the entire mix using ‪@ValhallaDSP‬ Valhalla Shimmer in the DAW."

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, and ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead — a hand-played minimal house track built around an even kick groove.

CyDrums provides the even kick, short-decay hi-hats, and toms. The sound is processed with filter and reverb using the ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY, and compression is added via the ALESIS 3630.

The Moog One performs the bassline, while the Nord Lead handles the harmony. The Nord Lead runs through the ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus for reverb."
