Songs with my Lead A1

[Puukka]

Here is a new song, I´ve performed with my Lead A1 and Korg Kross 2.

That´s the way I play at home. Bass and step sequence line comes from Korg´s sequencer, drums by it´s drum track which I can start individually.
A1 is split in pads left and lead right. Kross is split like that, too. That way I have two pad and two lead sounds available without switching.

All lead sounds and one pad comes from A1. I share ny patches at Dropbox.

Sorry, I´m not attractive anymore for being present in the video.



Kind regards from Austria,

Oohoooo, Pupka, all your patches are in Dropbox, there is so many of them, thanks a lot...
Pupka is a very prolific guy, he doesn't participate that much on discussion on the forum, maybe he's also a discrete guy, at least according to the photo but he's so nice to share all the patches and his work....
Thanks a lot, I have no NLA1 but I wanted to make the point that this kind of attitude is very appreciated....Well, a lot of people do that as well on this forum and that's why it's a great place to be....
Sincerely
PS: and the songs are very good!!!

Thanks for the nice feedback, Quai34!

I respect our colleagues, who rather sell their patches and I often buy them as inspiration, even lots of them don´t fit my style of composing.
For me personally I have a lot of fun with editing and I like to share it. I do same with my other synth´s patches, and I´m astonished, as example what you can squeeze out of an "entry level" workstation as the Kross 2.
A1 for me is one of the most versatile synths at the current market. 4 parts multitimbral (which I use regulare when recording up to four sounds simultaneously), 24 voices, 47 oscillator basic waveforms, split, great FX, ....and is editable as an good old analog, being able to edit without a deeper knowledge of subtractive synthesis (editing a menu diving synth as the Kross means you need to know exactly what you want to change.

Regarding my forum activity, also a victim of gear aquisition syndrom (GAS), I´ve learned to concentrate composing and recording instead of discussing gear. I like to write, when I have the feeling, that I can share some new infos that might help.
Sharing my composition might help choosing the gear, that´s why I mention it at my videos.

Kind regards,
Herbert

Quick questions. How long does your Nord Lead a1 take to boot up once you've pressed on/off button at the back?
Is your Nord lead a1 warm at the top panel near the power cable power supply area then its in use?

[Puukka]

1.) About 2 seconds, the delay unit of the power supply prevents cracking when turning on.
2.) Power supply is situatet at this position, so it can be warm there.

I´ve just finished a video playing live with A1 using split and Korg Kross 2.
