reverb decay

Post by tripbeat »

for upcoming update for nord lead 4 would be fun to extend the reverb lenght! could be possible via shift/sound button to expand first reverb time to 1 sec, second to 2, third to 5 sec and last to 10 sec or more.

Yes, I agree this would be very cool.

OH.. this is my first post on this forum :)

I'm having a great time programming my NL4 Rack. One thing though. I find it a bit difficult to program warm/smooth sounding pads on the NL4. Non of the preset programs offer this type of pad sound. I'm trying to get a very warm, rounded sounding pad sound that is lush, and transparent. I'm guessing a longer reverb time would help in achieving this type of pad sound.. (for ambient and other types of electronic music). I think the NL2X has a few Pad sounds of this nature, and they sound great with a touch of reverb. But.. this doesn't seem to be achievable (so far), on the NL4, even with a good doze of Reverb.

There is a chance that some of the effects/features in the new NL A1 might be added to the NL4. I wonder if this might also help in creating more PAD sounds that are warm, rounded (not harsh/metallic, but rather very analog/organic, and transparent in character.

Q. Has anyone been able to easily program such a PAD sound on the NL4 ? Just curious to know.

Thanks,

I feel like pads are achievable for sure. I usually stick with the 12db filter and go easy on the filter envelope. I do a lot of ambient myself and feel like the lead 4 can nail that pretty great
