Hmm, Iāve been GASsing over one of these on and off over the years but this
Sounds super-intriguing. Must resist the temptation to look for some demos ā¦
Is it really worth the wait?

Tbh I forgot about it, then my number came up, so I watched some more YouTube videos and I cant see any sequencer to touch it, still in two minds whether to keep it.
Always wanted a Nord Lead. NL4 KB incoming.
After borrowing friendās Wave 1 and NL4r, I figured out what I love about the modern Nords the most. Itās the mod section. Not as limited as most Rolands, but not so deep that it slows you down. Very immediate and invites you to quickly maximize the possibilities of a given patch. A rare instance where form over function works. I make patches faster than any other synth thanks to that design, and I really like the 4ās FX section and chord mode.
I intend to do some fun multi timbral chord-ey techno with it, sequenced by Octatrack.
Considered swapping Hydrasynth for it but I think I want them both, and the price was right. So I finally made room in the studio for yet another 49 key synth.

A very good feature of the NL4 is the chorderā¦try it

is that also part of the rack version?
Intention: Control everything! Create / load some presets onto it - Iām stunned by the build quality

Yea it has chord mode on both rack and kb
Takes some serious dexterity to set it, as you have to dedicate one hand to the command. Sometimes I use my nose for setting the 4th note
But it saves chords in the patch. Something I wish Hydra KB did.
Also Unison mode #1 doesnāt use any additional voices. Almost like a free chorus. Bonus!

Hm hm, I watched some videos now too. Yes very powerful, but I am sure itās too complicated for my needs, though the features are really good!

funny I was contacted after 3 year wait for a cirklon but by then I already had a dozen good sequencers and clocks to sync together and spending 3k for just a hardware sequencer was hard to imagine at this point. I may get one eventually if I need to chain a dozen synths together. But Iād rather just use an audio interface, mixer and DAW at that stage.

Just got my second portable modular system a brand new ALM Busy Circuits Super Coupe!
I will use this with my Make Noise Shared System and OP-1 to sample my larger modular eurorack system and take to jams and local events. I love how well thought out it is and Pamela New Workout with Squid Salmple is a match made in heaven. I am still trying to get the hang of Quad Megaslope and the MCO/MCF is different sounding combo but all good. A quick beat box patch I made last night with it:
In many ways, it reminds me of a scaled down Eurorack version of an Elektron Octatrack for modular synthesis.

Youāve got mine probably (or close), the one I passed on I mean.
Looks really nice but It would just collect dust here, ā¦ expensive dust collectors ā¦ my partner does not likeā¦

To pair with my Digitoneās 4 MIDI tracks, perfect match, very different and complementary sounds. Completes my live rig of AR mkI + DN + Nord Micromodular. I have a lust for small and powerful, donāt care about real analog, and love feature-packed gear.

Virus is dope AF and on my wishlist if I can quit buying modular eurocrack gear. But I love creating sounds from scratch no presets.
