  • Beyond your obvious skills with synthesizers, which is easily the best I've seen on Youtube, you are also an excellent cinematographer. I mean this in that when I watch your videos, I'm not just watching some guy play a synth, I'm watching it with scary-ass cut-ins that legitimately terrify me.

    Great job.

  • @Neantradical -------> 10:00  (:

  • the ending is sick!

  • I bought this keyboard thanks to your video! Clavia should give you a comission for it :D

  • Sounds like the soundtrack to my last acid trip :)

    Many thanks for the memories.

  • the lead x2 pads are epic compared to 3, and also the plasticey but solid bass.

  • The more I watch your videos, the more I understand that you are in a world far beyond what is available to you as far as synths, if I had your skills I would probably build a synthesizer myself.

  • @10:10 thats fuking ugly XD

  • 07:48 That kills me !!

  • Comment removed

  • I was disturbed, big time haha :P Truly awesome and inspiring programming though! I don´t often hear this synth sound this interesting!

  • 8:08 would make a great film score

  • 00:40 sounds like it belongs in a Dirty Handz movie

  • 7:18 Into The Void - Nine Inch Nails!!!! Hellz YEAH!!!!!!!! this synth grabs my interest a lot....

  • Reminds me of Aphex Twin in the beginning. That could be a hit.

  • Its red as blood..... ; )

  • Comment removed

  • cool

  • hahaha mega .. thx =)

  • If you were born in the sixties, John Carpenter would have hired you to do some music for his film man.

  • bald issser mein =) *freu*

  • @ChrisVanOz79 Ich beneide dich echt.. schreibst mir mal ein paar Eindrücke? Guter Kauf gemacht Kollege, freu mich für dich!!

  • Shit... this guy knows synth programming.

  • f*king awesome!!!!

  • Haha man, this is brilliant.

  • clavia should hire you to make presets for this thing :) they are awesome!

  • @migloje

    true

  • Holy shit, that was disturbing O.O

  • which effects do you use like reverb etc for your nl2x??

  • 1:50 you can be closer to god!

  • This is a fantasic novel demo

  • the guy doesn't realize his dick is cut off at first so the audience will be in suspense ... oh god, someone just cut my dick off oh no

  • Nice Nine Inch Nails-part at around 7:30 to 7:48! Thanks alot by the way man, I wasn't sure what to get but this (and the second part of this video) made me decide to buy this.

  • i want to see your sweater collection

  • 7:18 INTO THE VOID.

  • 6:45 Pi i Sigma rlz! "Matplaneta" 4ever!

  • where did you got that last horrible scene? what movie is it from? i think i watched a really long time ago (it really disturbed me) but i cant remember the tittle...

  • based on your reviews looks lie you saved me. Ill be gettin the Blofeld instead.

  • 7:24 :D talking to myself all the way to the station ♫♪♫

  • вот это клава... высшая вообще!!!

  • from 8:10 to 8:50

    sounds verry familiair .need to know ...will not get it out of my head ..

  • 2:55 i wanna do a remix

  • I recognize that fiff at 7:30!!Good stuff

  • 3:20 Absolutely epic! lol

  • 7:19 Nine Inch Nails!

  • i am selling my brand new nord lead x2 keyboard :) nicmarsden@yahoo.co.uk

  • you and trent reznor should get together and jam. my goodness, spine tingling.

  • don't let this guy sell any synthesizer to you just buy his programming. WC olo Garb is a master. Plain a simple. Truly amazing programming, man. Best on youtube.

  • @4:47 is a BEAST! literally!

  • 05:04 So powerful

  • into the void.

  • Yo i'm SOLD on this!!!! I was already like dang this thing got some DOPE sounds on it, but once it got past the 7:00 mark that took it to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL lolol gotta get one! -B

  • sound at 1:00 reminds me of "when its cold Id like to die" by moby

  • How could anyone who´s able to find this dislike it. To be honest:

    HE WOULD SYNTH THE CRAP OUT OF CHUCK NORRIS AND ULTIMATIVE SUPER JESUS ALLTOGETHER!!!!!!??!

    Olo Garb for president

  • AWESOME x10!!

  • any time I watch this video I can only get through about six minutes of it before I turn it off and turn my NL2X on!

  • @adroid snap!! =D

  • Comment removed

  • @adroid I know! I love mine too, though, I have the rack version.

  • well the nord lead 2x is the best . most people don't like how it does not have effects, but most good engineers don't use the built in effects anyway. Effects on synths are novel. you can synthesize some of them anyway.

  • I did not subscribe to almost anyone.. but you! are DA MAN! i love your fucking style! :)

    Regards from URUGUAY

  • Check my Virtual Nord Lead controller in my Youtube channel

  • That makes me want one even more, to finally start creating some real music! I'm missing so many things, one is one darn good synth!

  • It's ironic that everyone is praising the Nord Lead 2x in these comments.

    If you go to Jexus' website he actually says it's the most disappointing synth he's ever owned. Overhyped, too expensive and often limiting sonically and feature-wise (in his words).

    Nonetheless, this video is one of his better demos.

  • @iv0luti0n You pay for the interface and simplicity, I guess. Nords are the Macs of the synth world. They're straightforward and sound great for bread-and-butter sounds.

  • @whizkid515 I agree. I personally have nothing against Nord synths. Everyone has their right to choice. I demoed a Nord Wave at my local music store. I liked the sounds, the key-bed and the build quality.

    I find some of Jexus' reviews really subjective. He calls the Matrix 6R "thin and tinny" sounding. Something that I disagree wholeheartedly with, because I own one myself.

  • @iv0luti0n: Yeah, I also found iJexus' comment interesting. But according to him the Nord Lead 2x is less of a disappointment than the first Nord Lead. Still a disappointment, though.

    Both sound a lot more sterile than the Korg Z1 which sounds almost purely analog compared to the Nord Leads. And the Z1 is described as ice cold by many people.

  • i love your channel!

  • Wish i had a room full of old synths like this.

  • Ha ha...funny. You rock dude..

  • you can do slits and have one side arpeggiate? anyway how have you made it seem that the ms2000 is a more capable synth??

  • I laughed really hard when the guy was getting attacked by that huge bug. LOL

  • Awesome Videos man! Good Job!

  • 02:32 incredible man...

  • This boy knows how to program a synth , nice humour too

  • this boy knows how to program a synth

  • YES! NIN :)

  • This may make me sound like a right music failure!

    BUT......

    do you neeed to be able to play the keyboard in order to fully use the abilities of this synth?

  • damn. nord makes some great keyboards, and you certainly know how to use them.

  • 9:48 Brilliant!!!

  • There really aren't many VA's that do as good a job as the Nord Lead 2 does. I'd have to say the only VA in the same league is the Access Virus. There are other ones that are good, but just dont get anywhere near as aggressive. I'd get one myself but I'm going to invest in a Mopho/Tetra combo and Juno 106 most likely. We'll see.

  • @subby33 a Waldorf Q may be?

  • i got the nord lead 2x but i just wanna know how to let one key sound just by pressing the key once like in the video at the beginig

  • @appelflappatat I've gotta say I agree in many things you say, the Nord Lead might not be the most versatile synth out there, but the sounds he makes with the NL2x really has character and manages to leave an impression on you, stronger than most synths I've heard, there's something in the tone of it that I really enjoy, and I'm not saying that because I'm swedish, or a fan of the commonly "accepted" synth sounds in mainstream music.. The NL2x is just a beautiful sounding instrument, period :)

  • floping his hand round like some gay boy lmfao!

  • @Jexus

    Alltough you've made the fattest coolest sounds of maybe all your video's with this nord lead 2x, it seems that you don't like this synth very much. ("overhyped", "limiting", "disappointing" you say on your site). Why?

    The MS200, Ion, Sirius,or even the Blofeld don't sound as fat as the 2x in this video.

    Greetz!

  • 7:30 tried to save myself....

    Awesome vid and skills as always, thank you!

  • ha ha ha ha!

  • Great demo, but you should get Nord Lead 3. I just got mine in mint condition and this synths blows me away! I have about 20 other synths but this is the best and the easiest to program, 3 lfos (including one for vibrato) + arpeggiator, second section of filters, 4op fm. NL2x is very poor comparing to NL3. I'm in shock how fucking great this synth is! I wonder why they stopped offering nord lead 3.

  • @KovalStudios I guess you should try to get the hands on a Peavey Spectrum Synth including Programmer. This thing even blows the Nord Lead Series and even the Matrix-Series away. It has 24 Voices, has nearly 300 different Parameters to set, 4 Oscillators with each 127 Waveforms, 6 Envelopes, 2 independent Filters with 4 different Modes, 15 Modulation Sources which can modulate nearly every parameter, two LFOs. And it is a hybrid, mainly digital, but NOT VA. It looks small ,but it is not

  • @TheMCMXXL Peavey Synths suck. Doesn't even come close to going toe to toe with the Nord series.

  • WC, I love how you placed this next to the Ion and the Z1. To show this what a real synth looks like!

  • Great keyboard playing and good sound demonstration. Love this video! You got a lot of groove and it´s cool to see you performing on this great Synth :)

  • I think p-thug from Chromeo uses this puppy all the time.

  • I spit on your grave... hahahhahaha.

  • Hello I connect the kawai k5000r in the Nord Lead Rack 2 as installed thanks

  • Wow, this synth has such character, so many epic sounds! Want one really bad..

  • 4:50 i came

  • anyone to id the last film exerpt ?

  • wow... super

  • 9:50->END

    Absolutely hilarious!

  • amazing truely amazing. One day I will buy this synth

  • I saw tits at 10:04.

  • @fuzzjohn Yeah what the fuck those tits where doing there ? lol

  • just sold my kp3 and a sp404 to get a new synth,i need knobs...GIMME KNOBS

  • good lie friend

  • nice!!!!! you droped some NIN!!!! great!!

  • this video helped me decide to finalize thepurchase on my nordy <3

  • i want this.. could use it alot to make some filthy dubstep and DnB :"D

  • electronic genius

  • i wont to buy one ... but i dont now what model is best to make psytrance ... i am thinkin in the virus to

  • MUY PLÁSTICO!!!

    very plastic!!

  • Thats one awesome vid :L

  • that sounds great im thinking of buying it, the best part is "1:55" and the following things

  • this guy has the best demos he actually shows what you can do with the instrument not just toy around with it.

  • Agreed. I was just thinking about how these posts make me want to buy every synth he demos even though I know myself and they'd just end up dusty, on a shelf.

  • hehe, that lead synthpad that starts from 2:57 really reminds me of Commodore 64 sounds.

  • yes, like Last Ninja 3 ...

  • 8:10 sounds oddly familier, is that from a song or tv show or something?

  • In my opinion there is something from a movie. Something like "American Beauty " or " Beautyful MInd" :) I have this on the tip of one's tongue . Help !

  • American Psycho

  • That was pretty sick!! Love the movie samples and video edits....very entertaining to watch. 5 stars!!

  • You are the best !!! Thanks for all theose insightful and fun audio examples... cool video editing, too.

  • im favouriting this video just to listen to 2:00 fuck me that sounds o awesome, im thinking of buying a synth to broaden my guitar paying a little, ive had an r3 before and was very very dissapointed, but this and the ms2000 look kindacool , any opinions ?

  • @metalsinani I play guitar and had a R3 for a while, a year ago, also got a bit dissapointed although I didn't knew nothign about synthesis. Nowadays I'd enjoy a lot more with it.

    I think the sound being not as punchy as I expected and the bad feeling knobs where the major let down, being accustomed to a good guitar with great pick ups and selected tube amp...etc,

    I've just bought a used Waldorf microQ and I like it a lot!

    If I was you and could afford a Blofeld I'd go for one for sure.IMO

  • love this cant get enough.. great work

  • "Ścigasz się, a przegrałeś...";-)

  • WTF is this? Sounds like it's from 1993 an not 2003...

  • What effects are being used here I wonder

  • Looks like a sharp knife at 10:09

  • the nord lead doesnt have any effect (i mean the typicall effects of flanger, phaser,...)

  • I think the Nord's demos are one of the best of Jexus, but he says on his website that the synth is somewhat disappointing. The demos are very good thought

  • wow

  • I'd love to see a forum or something somewhere for people to swap Nord Lead patches

  • yeah!!!! nine inch nails tooo!!!!!!

  • the best ending.... ever

  • czyste zło... dosłownie i w przenośni ;) tak trzymać!

  • Awesome as always.

  • Not really just a straight Nord Lead 2x demo is it?

    Be nice to know what effects he's running it through to give it the lo-fi sound. Makes a huge difference to the sound.

  • i no longer want a minimoog....

  • i no longer want a girlfriend....

  • yes you do.

    Get a Nord lead + a Minimoog/Voyager or even LP. Perfect Combo.

  • + hot girfl/boyfriend (depending on preference)

  • i really want both of those synths

    i already have a korg R3

    and i want both, but the minimoog is crazy expensive, like 3000

    but i think im getting a nord lead soon

  • true, the minimoog was out of my price range too.. so I got a moog little phatty.. problem solved.. u can get them for 1000$ nowadays. My LP and Nord Lead go awesome together.

  • This is why I own an XS8..

    I like your stuff, but I'm more a pianist ;)!

  • Is there anyway I can get my hands on these patches?

  • That's extremely good synthesizing

  • Great ! I will buy this synthesizer !

    I like the end of the video ! Oh my god ! lol

  • I thought you wrote how you hated this synth on VSE? sounds killer...

  • Just ...Ouaw !

  • Man, you are talented! I love how you just get into and stuff :D

  • wow.. Il ike it a lot. you are very talented

  • hehe 7:35 Nine Inch Nails - In To The Void

  • hahaha i like the third one, very funny! nice man!

  • końcówka jest genialna i muzycznie i wizualnie. vid z jakiego filmu?

  • This dude programs his synths back to every corner of possibility!! Great work!

  • i admire this guys more than much...

  • buckethead written all over this

  • BTW at first I was a little disappointed because i'd been looking forward to a NL2X vid by this guy for so long & the distorted recording just made it sound like the others.... but I just saw the end and

    THIS IS THE BEST FRIGGIN ONE ha

  • Clavia are such fucking bastards for discontinuing NL2X in the states. it's probably the most "me" synth i've ever gotten to play in store and all i can do is make really questionable $700 ebay purchases of used & possibly abused equipment.

  • Goddamn your stuff is fucking awesome, the video and music!

  • Is this without MIDI using the arpeggiator? Great vid!

  • You sir, fucking rock

  • the most disturbing thing for me is your incredible talent of getting out the maximum of any synth...

    (technically and musically)

  • i agreem though i'm from totally different scene. This guy always blows away... wow...

  • The best demo, thank you.

  • What song do you start playing at 7:50?

    Great videos btw, I've watched them all.

  • Its Nine Inch Nails song called "Please"

  • nice description text

  • Ojoj widzę że poszerzyłeś swoje instrumentarium bo nie widziałem twojej prezentacji z Clavia Nord Lead 2x a tak poza tym to jestem pełen podziwu jak można mieć tyle tych wspaniałych instrumentów (to się nazywa pasja ) pozdrawiam i dzięki za nowe filmiki mam nadzieje że będą następne :)

  • these are all presets? thank you

  • read description. sounds were programmed by Jexus

    ...who doesn't even like the synth itself

  • LOL at the quick 'shoottheladyinthehead' clip. Well done!

  • 6:45 preset killer!

    Poor guy at the end of vid...dying to the sounds of Nord...!

  • what happened?

    *im too scared too watch*

  • OUCH!!

  • WHAT!!!

  • i just creamed myself

  • You are a genius! The end is amazing!

  • coool:-)

  • maul, DS: Interesting to hear negative comments for a change. I just got a 2x and yes, the presets suck, and while audio is great and there is definitely a lot of diversity in there, it seems to be exactly like my $400 alesis micron minus the effects
