Sound Character and Modulation

The set includes large pads that the developer compares to Jean-Michel Jarre-style sounds, along with FM-based patches, distorted trance leads built with the Chord-Stack and Unison functions, arpeggios and pumping basses.

The developer says the patches were designed with a wide range of modulation in mind. Many sounds change with the mod wheel or velocity, which can be useful for performance and for shaping movement over time.

Effects and Demo Setup

The Nord Lead 3 has no internal effects, so the demo audio adds delay and a hall reverb from Logic. The developer notes that the phaser heard in the demo comes from the synth itself. No EQ, compression or other processing was applied in the demo.

If you want to hear the presets as intended, use them as the source and add your own delay or reverb in your DAW.
