nord lead a2 wishlist

Post by varignet »

Please note I'm a synth beginner and don't own the a1. However what I would really love in the a2 is:
Five octaves same fatar as the ne5d61
New screen same as stage 3
Superwaves same as stage 3
Ability to have custom arpeggiator patterns

Considering the knowhow nord is gaining from the stage3 synth section ( which is by itself an upgraded a1 with half the engines) I wouldn't be surprised if they released an a2 next year. What do you think?

More voices and a step-sequencer would be nice.
Go and buy a NLA1, it's an amazing synth, A2 is a faraway project...

Copied from the NL5 thread.

I would love to have a Lead A2 with:

1. No global vibrato settings
2. no fixed upper/lower system
3. Fatar TP8S or TP9S instead of the horrible TP7
4. better display, to at least display names instead of cryptical 90ies digits
5. display of the stored value of a parameter, right now it is impossible to see on what value a parameter is stored
5. feedback knobs instead of buttons
6. FX mix knob
7. dedicated shape knob. Shape shouldn't be an OSC config imho.
8. the morph buttons like in the L4
9. keybed with Aftertouch and AT as morph source


@varignet: You really want to have a waterfall organ keybed on a synth? I think you're pretty uch the only one. ;)

I wish I found more time using all the capabilities that my great A1 already has.
