Two more great reviews just in for the Nord Lead A1! Keyboard Magazine sums up: "...the A1, like its big sister the Lead 4, is an inspiration machine.

AskAudioMag joins in saying "Wonderfully responsive Fatar keybed, a TON of oscillators to pick from for sound sources, everything is controlled with your hands - very little diving into menus, 4-part multi-timbral engine lets you leverage the power of the keyboard four times over."

Brilliant review of the Nord Drum in Future Music/Musicradar!

2012-04-23

The first reviews of the newNord Drum are in! Here's some great quotes from the Future Music/Music Radar review:

"Playing the Nord Drum via a set of pads is a riot, and I can enthusiastically report that it unequivocally qualifies as an 'instrument' in every sense of the word, being responsive, dynamic and expressive. The range of sounds it can produce is quite amazing, from the authentically analogue to the suprisingly 'acoustic', the bangin' to the delicate, and the stridently industrial to the lavishly organic".

"Verdict: A superb drum synth for drummers, percussionists and programmers alike…"
