This is my lead bank. It contains 9 programs, in 3 categories:

• Nord Leads: Detuned saw leads - classic analog leads
• Sync Leads: Synced square leads - hard and screaming leads
• Phat Leads: "Super" leads - fat and voluminous leads

Some practical notes:
All patches are programmed at -2 to -4 dB, to allow for some volume tweaking in both directions.
Additionally, all patches have a default light compression and reverb setting, intended for live playing.
Finally, all these default patches are limited to using Panel A only. This was done for mainly 2 reasons:

• For me to learn the synth better, and use all possibilities within one panel
• To allow for better expansion upon all my base patches

Links to NUS and a list of samples used are in the following posts.

These lead sounds are all made using both organ, piano and synth section to add extra dimension and width to the sounds. This also means that there are some easy ways to enhance the sounds while playing:

• Try organ "Preset II" to add fundamental and more depth
• Set Piano timbre to "Bright" for enhanced attack
• Switch on "Effect 1" for an interesting Auto-wah effect

In addition, all patches have a Morph setup on the Mod Wheel that modulates drive, freq and resonance.

Enjoy!
