The Nord Lead is a series of virtual analog subtractive synthesizers, manufactured by Clavia.
Released in 1995,[1] the original Nord Lead was the digital synthesizer that made the term virtual analog synthesis popular.[2] The now widely accepted term "virtual analog", was first coined by Clavia with the release of the Nord Lead.[3] This synthesizer was distinctive for its red coloration, knob-laden surface and unique pitch-stick and modulation wheel. After the Nord Lead, several updates followed suit; such as the Nord Lead 2, Nord Lead 3, and Nord Lead 2X.
