Reloaded, they're ok.
Funny I was hoping to find some "standard" vintage patches like all-round pads, some strings, voices and well known lead sounds but the vast majority seem to be pretty useless sounds that show programming mastery but little musical purpose.
Pretty much along the lines of all the other patches available.
I wished someone at Nord (or outside) would take a good listen to pink floyd, rush, journey, heart, genesis, steve winwood and other classic rock acts and replicate the main synth sounds used instead of programming farts, squeaks, burps or general white noise that have pretty low vintage musical value.
From the Nord site:
"This A1 Bank from Clavia employee Kristofer "Kroffe" Ulfves is much inspired by classic analogue synthesizers, electric pianos and string machines. In these 99 programs and 100 performances he has tried to capture the vintage sound sweetspots of the Nord Lead A1."
Where are they???
I don't want to sound ungrateful, I know they're free so I shouldn't complain but since the guy must have spent company time and money to program the patches why not program something that has general purpose rather than to just show off the extreme sounds the Lead A1 is capable of? I mean it's supposed to be a musical instrument in the end, to make MUSIC.
Just saying...
What do you think?
