Nord Lead 4 - Elevation Vol.1

video upload by

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

The biggest problem with programming custom sounds, is my inability to refrain from jamming :)

Currently working on some tasty new sounds for the Nord Lead 4, and decided to jam along to my P6 SM Octave Keys patch from Divinty Vol.1 - [posted here]

Hoping to have my first Nord Bank complete by end of November, my usual mixture of pads, leads, basses arps etc. Will also be utilising the binaural features of the NL4 too, some lovely sounds indeed.

anyway, thanks for checking them out.

Enjoy!

"Everything Is A Balance" - Live Dub Techno

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I usually take more than a day to make a jam because I set up different gear each time.
Today, I wanted to challenge myself to do it all in one day!
I cheated a bit though, because I already had a cool vocal sample ready to go.
(The other night, I sampled Jeff Bridges from the movie, The Giver".)
I started at 6am this morning, and this is the FIRST TAKE - recorded by 12noon!
Not Too Shabby, Old Man!

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

Perfect Circuit Artist Picks: Best Music Gear of 2023 Part 1

video upload by Perfect Circuit

Part 2 here

"2023 is soon drawing to a close—so, we're taking a look back at the year, and taking account of all of the weird and wonderful instruments that gave us some inspiration this year. Synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack modules to samplers and effects, this year had no shortage of inspiring instruments.

So, we reached out to some of our friends and content creators to fill us in on their year, asking one simple question: what was the coolest piece of gear you got this year? For some, that meant brand new releases, but for others, it meant sitting down and digging into classic instruments.

In this video, we hear from:
0:00 Mylarmelodies on the Nord Micro Modular
4:14 Sarah Belle Reid on the Fairfield Circuitry Roger That
8:07 Molten Music Tech on the Blukać Endless Processor
14:04 Liam Killen on the OXI One
17:24 Oora on the Meris MercuryX

"You're a Badass!" - LIVE JAM

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"Recording Date: 11/04/2023
Tempo: 122bpm
Key: A minor

This piece came about from the Hardware Jams Facebook Group's weekly challenge - which was to create the lushest-sounding pads or chords, juxtaposed against the most spiky and hellish beats you can conjure up. These beats are less than hellish, for sure 🤔 - but I tried to get the Erica Synths PERKONS rumbling hard.... The evolving pad sound is from a Mutable Instruments Braids Clone made by Blue lantern Modules. I wanted to add more pad sounds and make the pad part more sophisticated, but I ran out of inputs on the 1010 Bluebox mixer (Eurorack Version) I was using to record everything - because I already added too much before adding the pad sound - DOH! 12 Tracks runs out FAST!

(Eurorack is always teaching me patching and routing lessons for "next time", lol...)

Making Patches with Midicake ARP + Nord Lead A1

video upload by midicake

"Let's play around with ARP's parameters to build a patch that would form the basis of a new track. I'll talk through what I'm doing and you'll be able to hear and see the effects on each sequence as it builds.

It's good timing because the Synthfest show is fast approaching so we need some new and interesting patches to demonstrate ARP's features."

Christiane Dehmer - RAINING GRACE - Piano & Synths live

video upload by Christiane Dehmer

"'Raining Grace' live von Christiane Dehmer (Piano, Synthesizers, Komposition)

✔ Mehr Musik & News von Christiane Dehmer: https://www.christiane-dehmer.de

Ein Instrumentalstück über Dankbarkeit. Das Gute, das einfach so auf uns herab regnet, erfrischt und belebt. Wo man innehält, und sich fragt, ob es wirklich so ist, unverdient und einfach so. Bei allem, was man sich wünscht, ist man positiver gestimmt, wenn man die Augen dafür öffnet, was man Gutes hat.

Live am Blüthner-Flügel, Nord Wave 2, und dem Synthesizer „Waldorf Pulse“ über ein Basspedal."

"'Raining Grace' live by Christiane Dehmer (piano, synthesizers, composition)

✔ More music & news from Christiane Dehmer: https://www.christiane-dehmer.de

An instrumental piece about gratitude. The good that just rains down on us refreshes and invigorates. Where you stop and ask yourself if it's really like that, undeserved and just like that. Whatever you want, you'll be more positive when you open your eyes to what's good about you.

Live on the Blüthner grand piano, Nord Wave 2, and the synthesizer “Waldorf Pulse” via a bass pedal."

Nord Stage 4 + RK008 + Analog Rytm = DAWless powerhouse!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"So I recently picked up a Nord Stage 4 as an upgrade to my Electro 2 from 16 years ago, as my main compact gigging keyboard. What I didn't realize was how powerful the multitimbrality could be when paired with a sequencer, like the Retrokits RK008, which I'm borrowing from my good friend "Cowboy" Ben Alman for our @TheEntireRobot gigs. I fairly quickly set up the sounds on the Nord and then played in some quick parts for an A and B section into the RK008. I'm reserving tracks 1 and 3 on the RK008 for my MiniKorg and Moog Minitaur, once I get the MIDI hooked up for those, so that will be next. I used 6 layers on the Nord, but technically I could have done 7 if I split up the organ into two separate manuals, etc. Anyway, this is a promising rig!"

Blush Response - live at SUPERBOOTH23

video upload by Superbooth Berlin

"Blush Response is the vehicle for Cuban/American musician Joey Blush's research into the sonic dimension. Reports occur at sporadic intervals, usually in concurrence with the discovery of new planes of existence. Born in Miami, and now stationed in Berlin, Blush has brought his sound experiments to a worldwide audience. He has toured around the world as a solo artist, and as a member of groups such as Scar the Martyr and Front Line Assembly.

He is also a renowned sound designer, having done work for companies like Elektron, Yamaha, Arturia, and programming on records from Fear Factory, Cristian Castro, and many more. Blush expresses his sound through deep meditation with his electronic instruments, focusing on the interaction between human and machine. He seeks to both influence and harness the unpredictability of complex electronic instrumentation, in an effort to create a direct expression of his emotions. This sonic ritualism is exemplified in his prolific reporting of fractalized audio sculpture.

This concert was presented by Nord Keyboards.

Save a prayer - Synth cover (Nord Lead 4)

video upload by System81

"Live multi-track loop recording with Nord Lead 4. Drums were played midi with Logic's stock drum synth.

It was kind of complicated to record the camera and play live-looping. I had to focus at different occasions hence angles are different."

Creating the patch:

Save a Prayer (Duran Duran) - Nord Lead 4 patch

Nord Lead 4 - Percussive drums

video upload by System81

"In this I was trying to get Asian drums in 3/4 rhythm with NL4's arpeggiator with some breaks played with NL4's Impulse Morph feature. Slot A and B are allocated for drums and bass with slot A and B are allocated for the leads.

Recorded to Logic via Audience iD14 interface. Slight compression added to tame some harsh situations.

Nord Lead 4 is such a great instrument with loads of features for live performance."
