Hi all,
I would love to see this feature implemented in the A1: the ability to tune slots.
As the oscillator configurations are pre-wired, I find that the A1 really shines in Performance mode, where some of the limitations in Program mode can be overcome.
But I would for example like to be able to have one sync oscillator configuration in slot A, another one in B, and then fine tune one of them to achieve variety and fullness.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Re: Nord Lead A1 feature wish: slot tuning.
Sure, super-chords, didn't even think about that!
But for me, the most important benefit would be the ability to introduce subtle (and not so subtle) pitch variations when layering programs that don't use the pitch oscillator configurations.
I'm sure it could be implemented in typical slick Nord Lead fashion, and that it wouldn't eat processor resources.

Re: Nord Lead A1 feature wish: slot tuning.
Funny, I accidentally (well..) stumbled upon a review of the Nord Stage 2, and it mentioned the slot detuning capabilities of the NS2!
Come on Clavia, you know you can do it!

Re: Nord Lead A1 feature wish: slot tuning.
Why is it not implemented yet? Multi-Focus with all 4 oscillators at the same pitch produces a headache. Come on Clavia, the A1 still is being sold new and it would improve so much by detunable slots! Or is there a known work-around on the synth?

Re: Nord Lead A1 feature wish: slot tuning.
Simplest idea to implement: Select slot in performance mode, press both octave shift buttons the same time to access detune.

Not sure what the problem is. The A1 allows pitch detuning per slot if you choose "Pit" in the OSC configuration. This way you can easily have 4 tunable oscillators in a performance (one oscillator per slot). It took me a while to find out but it works well for really fat sounds.

The detune oscillator works fine, even in only one slot, but it is very limited. Problem is huge if you stack different oscillator models or "instruments" in different slots. The whole idea of playing 4 slots with different sounds gets a bit boring if all have always the exact same pitch. I really don't get it why you can't detune different sounds to each other in multi mode on the A1.

Re: Nord Lead A1 feature wish: slot tuning.
Unfortunately the A1 is pretty limited. Detune and shape shouldn't be an OSC config, but have a dedicated knob.
