The only completely "blind" Lead is the 1/2/2X.
In the 3 (and the Wave) you see parameter values on the screen every time you turn a knob (and can review them without modifying them by shift+knob).
In the 4 and A1, you can see a current parameter's setting by using the copy/monitor button and turning the respective knob.

Ah! Like the shift+knob on my E5. Thanks

Yes, I'd do the same. That being said, I don't remember the NL2 having this feature.

Both the NL2 and NL2X have manual mode. Great when working w/ a single slot.

For the A1 in addition to copy/monitor display you can also see the osc config, the wave, which FX are active, LFO shape, active morphs, filter type, voice mode, arp settings etc.

hi all,
the lead 3 led-encoders combinated with the futuristic/scientific layout and look,
for me are still one of the best to use and most aesthetic synthesizer interfaces of all time.
One of the most outstanding Nords ever, i like it very much.
just my 2 cent

by all
Clavia NR 1/3/4

RE: addressing lack of visual cues when programming

do the following solve the problem with real-time visual feedback (i.e. change patch/controls on Nord, see change on the computer/tablet screen)?

1) MIDI designer Pro (iPad?)

2) For the Lead 4 - Synthmania editor (Win/Mac):
