NL4 or NLA1

[Amos Music]

Hi guys

im new to this forum and im currently in the market for a Nord Lead, i produce uplifting emotional trance and progressive trance, i owned a NL3 in the past and sold it along with all my other hardware (which i regret now) but im just on the lookout to buy a NL4/A1

i was just wondering if anyone has used these for trance production and what would be best suited for me.

any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

I love the A1, but for modern sounds I would prefer the NL4.

If you regret selling the NL3, why not buy NL3 again?
I have the NLA1, that I also love! I can't say anything about the other Leads. Have you youtubed the NLA1? That way you can get an idea of the sound.

I have an A1 and I just bought a L3 because the more I read up on the ergonomics on the L3, the more I thought that was what I really wanted. It also has Aftertouch (which kind of implies a better Fatar was used) whereas the keyboard in the A1 is pretty suboptimal.

@derrellpiper.
How much did you pay for your NL3? I start to see them around 1000$/1200$ wich was not the case 2 years ago when I bought my Prophet 08 instead of the NL3. Some people on this forum had told me that the P08 will make a bigger difference with my NL2X than the NL3, so, I bought the P08 but at that price, I might give it the NL3 a shot...

Looks like it was $1,350 for the L3 and $1,319 for the R3. The was one more L3 out there and no other R3's, when I bought these two off eBay.

NLA1: I use it for "classic" patches ...
NL4: I use it for experimental stuff ...

Have both. Perhaps the NL2X is the best?
