Nord Lead 3: my stupid and noisy patches

Post by kotatsu »

Hi everyone! This is the result of my first month with this wonderful machine:

These patches are especially exercises in sound design, so I prediliged distorted/aliasing/stupidly loud sounds. I also tried techniques like filter pinging and bizarre velocity mapping. Here all the sounds are played live with the keyboard and, where it is present, arpeggiator but I recommend experimenting with some crazy sequencing and velocity randomization :mrgreen: Enjoy!

Awesome patches. Thanks so much. Have learned a few new sound design ideas from these.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun as well. Here's some more programs and performances that I deem interesting. As above, no sequencers except for some built-in arp magic :keyboard:
