Nord User Forum

Hello, I hope I'm posting this question in the correct place. Would anyone be able to help? I'm trying to find more information in relation to developing sounds from FM init on the Nord Lead 3. I have a basic understanding of Fm Synthesis, but am struggling to work out what each of the controls are doing beyond modulator and carrier numbers. Any other resources in relation to developing sounds on the NL3 would also be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to this forum

You may want take a look at this older discussion nord-stage-2-programs-ns2p-ns2pb-files-f15/fm-synth-deciphered-t8685.html (it is for the NS2 synth but it should be good for understanding NL3's FM too)

Thank you.

this guy takes an interesting dive:

this guy has a few youtube segments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0ABodNwv-A

I love my NL3 - one of the few synths where my understanding is always evolving.

Thank you.
