"Kloob - Dark Solstice Echo

A friend of mine lent me the Nord Micro Modular synth, and I'm pretty surprised by its sound — and I still have to dig into the software editor!

All sounds come from hardware synths:

Nord Micro Modular: baasline sequence (midi channel 3).

Micromonsta 2 sounds: pad-drone sequence (midi channel 2) and ‘Sad Pad’ (midi channel 1) played in realtime.

Sonicware Live Ambient 0: sequencer and noise sound in layer 4.

Behringer Edge: Bass-Drum loop.

Hologram Microcosm feeding the ‘Dreamy Pad’.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for support my music!

Cheers,

Nord Lead Rack Rackmount Virtual Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"This is the original and by far the best sounding Nord Lead of them all. While i think that all nord leads are special and amazing, the original just has a bolder, more analog like sound.. very capable of delivering classic tones ranging from Oberheim, Prophet 5, Junos and Moog basses, leads and textures. it all work great.. no operational issues. A couple things to note.. the PCMCIA slot was removed by previous owner, never bothered us, we never needed to store / load anything from an obsolete PCMCIA card.. computers do that job just fine for us. Also, the Decay knob has a tilt to it.. could prob bend it back straight, but again, we never felt the need to do so."

FM Synthesis - A Practical Guide - Part 1

Additional posts

"Here's something I've been meaning to get round to starting for ages, a practical guide to FM synthesis. In my experience FM tutorials usually over explain all the wrong things and rarely get as far as the important things like the predictable way operator ratios change the waveform and frequency responses. So I've tried to approach things from an entirely practical view point showing you how to make saw, square, noise etc with filter like responses.

"Demo for the ND2 Edition of the Synth Controller supporting #Clavia #NordDrum 2.

From 6:28 the setup and usage of the GLOBAL MODE is shown. GLOBAL MODE allows simultaneous editing of previously teached parameters on all 6 channels, kind of performance mixer."

"A piece created with the ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP‑1 field—ambient music where simple drones dissolve into radio noise.

Nord Lead: I play a slow‑attack pad, routing the output through ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS for reverb and delay.

OP‑1 field: Connected to ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and GENERATION LOSS MK II while performing. Midway, I feed in a radio signal, shaping the noise in LOSSY.

The bell sounds were recorded with a RØDE NT1-A."
