Clavia Nord Lead

The Clavia Nord Lead 1 (or simply Nord Lead) is a 'Virtual Analog' synthesizer from 1995, the first of the Nord Lead series. It was one of the first synthesizers on the market which used DSPs to emulate the sound of analog synthesizers, including its usual warmth and richness. Has 4-voice polyphony.

Peter Gabriel once owned a Nord Lead 1, which appears on the Up album from 2002. He's also seen with one in press photos from this period. Eventually, Peter upgraded to the Nord Lead 2.
