NORD WAVE TIPS AND TRICKS 2

[D1rtyraver]

Anyone can do EXACTLY the same with a random midi keyboard and Ableton Live.

[ekalb2185]

Wait are you saying you can add patches from a software synth like say Moog,Korg etc.? And even sample sounds like a piano or guitar,btw can you do a pitch wheel on that keyboard? Or is it just a mod wheel?

[SjN7HETIK]

PLEASE THE NAME OF THE TRAX START AT 1:27... (IF IS A TRAX) - THX

[V100BB]

I know i could get slaughtered on here for saying this, but I'm happy enough with my Roland SH-201, it may not be perfect, but it's got this rough-quality to the sound which really gives it character and punch

[sacredgeometry]

@V100BB The sh-201 sounds ok but when you compare it to its predecessor the sh-101 its really a step in the wrong direction. 

[V100BB]

@sacredgeometry I just take the synth on it's own merits, I recon the 201 would've received much warmer reception if it was it's own standalone product and not just put in the SH series of synths.

[WieldMyWord]

Can you record the keyboard to the computer? input for it?

[andrewfrancisjames1]

re: beats .you've turned it into a casio.

[trashflute]

Love :O



[SYN7HOR]

The Nordwave is a very capable allround synth, but it kinda sounds like shit compared to my DSI PEK. :P

[raizumichin]

@SYN7HOR Apples kinda tastes like shit compared to oranges too ;) Seriously though, I wouldn't mind having both to play with. It would be an awesome combo.

[bbow73]

@SYN7HOR I have both, I suggest importing your own WAV files. That made all the difference for me, I actually thought about sell my Wave until I started doing this. If you don't want to make your own keymaps then download some of the sets from Clavia. The P5, JX and VP-330 WAVs are quite excellent.

[Senj1n]

@SYN7HOR So you are comparing a real analog synth with a virtual analogue one? So we should have a look on the function side where the Nord shits all over the PEK :P

[theroughhookers]

For 400 you can pick up an akai s6000, another 600 for a sherman filter bank, or 80ish a piece for a doepfer filter based on a wasp or ms20 or a 303 etc... and for that you can sound as shit as this, or if you prefer you can mash shit up a bit.. thats my consumer advive...... what happened to the short lived nord lead 3?

[sacredgeometry]

@theroughhookers I guess people didnt like it, I personally welcome endless encoders on synths like this but only akai-esque ones. i.e. smooth.

[1978djd]

I hope Nord keep pumping out those solid multisamples for the suckers who got conned into thinking this thing could sweep wavetables....:)))

[1978djd]

Depends what you call 'proper'. It sends midi cc messages, so if your soft synth has 'midi learn' - it works. From experience though, I could never get a controller to work as well as a designated hardware console. I hear m-audio axiom pro maps automatically, but then again....

[1978djd]

This is a very 'clean' sounding performance synth. Depending on your point of view, 'clean' could be seen as 'professional' or just plain sterile. It has the best sound of any of my synths, but if you are into synthesising weird sounds, you might try a Blofeld, which is also a great synth, but not a performance synth. One thing you can be assured of is that the Nord synths are extremely polished; you will never hear a glitch; probably why they took the arpeggiator out of this one.

[MrJambone1]

@1978djd Can you also use it as a midi controller...a proper one that is?

[KevinDolin]

lol why would anyone buy a toy called a nerdwave u idiot capitalists will buy anything if corporations tell u to

go suck corporate cock u sheep

[JulianDavidB]

Ill buy it even for the demos song :p

[AORNOfficial]

does it support any reason sound? I mean Malstrom, Thor and Subtractor synths

[azynkron]

@AORNOfficial That question doesn't make sense.. If you mean that you can sample the output from Reason, then yes, of course. If you somehow think that you could transfer the Thor to a synth.. then I guess you missed a couple of pages in the manual.

[bbow73]

@AORNOfficial IDK if anyone answered your question. It only imports WAV files.

If Reason can export as WAV, then yes. Otherwise you will have to record a keymap of your Malstrom or Thor sounds and export as WAV.

[miraeja]

clavia should pay you for this video lol awesome

[Poopaskull]

The first 20 seconds alone is enough proof for me, that I MUST OWN THIS!

Oh, and the @1:15 is pretty damn snazzy!

[jomarcavalcanti]

how about sampling size what''s it?! does it have key transposing also?!

[yenrac17]

so what's the main difference between the nord wave and nord lead?

[wbiro]

more fun for me was trying to figure out what was being envisioned when all this was being played... a midnight disco dance with girls leaping at the keyboardist? lol don't we all wish...

[ubersponge]

I think nord wave users need to take more drugs. theres not enough examples of nords making fucked up sounds. all i can find is regular boring demonstrations. just fucking mash sound into an unrecognisable mess please.

[canc3rhand]

@ubersponge AMEN

[dayjob]

@ubersponge yeah, all the demos i've heard on youtube are really really lame and boring. just not creative. they just make the same sounds people have made w/synths for the last 30 years. what's the point of all the sampling and "wave" ability if you are just gonna make a cheesy "funky clav" patch??? yawn.

[ncheriyan]

@ubersponge

Listen to Infected Mushroom...they use Nord ... however, I am not sure which model though.

[albedoshader]

@ubersponge: Jexus is the master of fucked-up sounds with any synth. But it's good to see others do that, too.

[videosequences]

@ubersponge: is the synth really that bad? or is it just the lack of creativity of those users? i really thought of buying a nord wave, cos all i´ve got so far is an m-audio midi/audio-in keyboard combined with fl studio and its soft synths and samplers....

[espaulsen]

@ubersponge

No shit. I'm looking for a new synth, but it's impossible to find out if it actually sounds awesome. People always play some lame and boring 80's or 90's shit.

[Idiotsmorans]

@ubersponge I have to agree. Go fucking crazy'n shit!

[bbow73]

@ubersponge I think I can take care of that for you. stay tuned.

[ubersponge]

@bbow73 Do it. The videos you have on your profile are already pretty nice.

[bbow73]

@ubersponge done, awaiting approval from MusicmarketingCanada or just go to my site. 

[SLAUGHTERHOUSEXL]

@ubersponge yeah you shoulda been the one who came up with the text displayed in this video. they got,"use the synths built in effects,. envelopes and filters to radicly change the sounds" what kinda shit is that to say about a nord. go radicly change sounds with some piece of shit u can pick up at walmart. i ll stay here and MASH MASH MASH!

[sgalloberklee]

i will be purchasing a Nord Wave very soon, and already own Reason.

how does one import those sounds / loops into the keyboard ??

it would be most helpful, if someone could explain this.

[iamdekko]

load vsti??!?! I can't find any info about this...

Are you just using a sample from the vsti or is the actual software loaded onto the nord?

[eldanylopez]

Hi, good video !

you make it sound good. In min 1:45 you get your hands off the keyboard and let the loop sounding. How can you do that with the nord wave ?

[AndersAalborg]

I'm guessing he used the sustain pedal.

[WARDISWARD]

Using the nord wave as a sampler/sample trigger would be ridiculous

These days you can buy an emu e6400 or ext ultra for 400 euros ..blows the nord out of the water when it comes down to sampling .

Other then that I love nord producsts , got an old nord modulat g1 and still love it

[johnspecker]

Hi! Can Nord Wave import patches from Nordlead 2X or Nordlead 3?

[Badunkawank13]

I am full......of happyness :D

[fuzzjohn]

1:18 made me drool on my computer because it was so awesome.

[MikaelFL]

If only my Modular G2 had a wavetable module :(

Oh well. I'm still very happy with my G2 and Ableton. XD

[MikaelFL]

Is it Lyle test driving ze maschine?

[millomloyal]

I'm gonna have to sell some shit to buy this

[happytyler41892]

@millomloyal

Yeah I feel ya. I just sold my old metal guitar rig to get one of these. PSYTRANCE FOREVER

[D1rtyraver]

@happytyler41892 Unfortunately, psytrance probably will be around forever. Nothing interesting has happened in psytrance for about 15 years. Still the same linear arrangements. The same climaxes. The same drum patterns, Layers of synth sounds playing simultaneously over one another. Essentially psytrance is about as interesting as drum'n'bass - another genre which sounded amazing about 15 years ago. Both I used to love.

[AudX]

@D1rtyraver feel the same man ;)

[djdevelope1]

my panties are wet.

You mentioned reason. Can you use it the same way with ableton live 8?

[karimnn]

This is awesome. There are more videos of Nordwave on YouKeyboard.

[KaslarProductions]

youkeyboard is the best! :)

[Brainbox97]

could you put a whole song on the wave and assign the keys to parts of the song

[mehighpatzany]

hello....i'm wondering how long it takes to nord wave to load samples that you store in with nord editor when switching from a preset to another preset when you are playing......i dont now if i made my self understood...could you help....?

[katseazzz]

does it have effects? wich is better?this or nl2x?

[raizumichin]

unlike the nl2x the nord has effects, it also has the ability to play sampled instruments, digital waveforms and FM synthesis. But it also costs twice as much...

[mooogg]

that is freakin awesome!!!

[mproductionsmusik]

I need to know if you can inport nord lead 3 samples patch into the nord waves????

[djknq]

does the Roland Sh 201 have the same performance and remix feature like synth in this video at 0:36?? does anyboday know that?

greetz

[JacquesNessMonster]

No the Sh 201 can't load samples like this guy.

[fizmo909]

i'm sure roland will release a "groovebox sh-201 w/ sampling" sooner or later. as they are that lame. maybe it'll even have built in strobe lights.

[indieclock]

does the VST load work with Macs?

i use Reason, FM7/FM8,etc and i can't believe i'm just hearing about this synth...

[ishrihernandez]

I WANT IT!!!! :D

[nielsdt]

You do nice stuff, and your Wave seems to be a well-designed product.

Aren't you afraid your thumb will die off because of that tight ring? ;-)

[Halofan61]

I was thinking of getting a Mini Korg or a Nord Modulator G2. Does this Nord have the smae functions plus some more than the Nord Modular G2? Or is the Mini Korg the way to go. Please someone respond

[bluebrotherstudios]

Get the modular, you can't even compare the microkorg to it.

[mortenrobinson]

Damn that's cool! I want one of these!!

[jayceeutrecht]

Can you get the great Vocoder sound at 00:31 with the Nord Wave (and a microphone) only? Or was is already a vocoded soundsample....?

[imbenwhoareyou]

It's actually a synth patch from Reason's newest synth, Thor. Technically, it's just a vocoded sample loaded in as a patch. I do not know if the Wave has the capability to vocode though...

[WARDISWARD]

Nope , I'll go get me a spectralis 2 ( when I have money ...=)

[WARDISWARD]

Hahh I use sampler for that ..thanks clavia

Altough Ilove my first generation nord modular

[Biopharmer]

yeah, nord modular's cool.

Don't get this thing tho.

Get a virus

[dawoof]

why??

[Biopharmer]

Just compare how they sound

[gwugluud11]

do those vocalised type of sounds come in it? or you loaded them?

[chunz10]

ok so when you buy this everything seen in the demo comes with it all redy no extra things needed

[DrummerFreak04]

Clavia/Nord sure know a thing or two hundred about keyboards - anything they come up with in recent years seems to be top notch and spot on.

I bought the C1 organ a couple of years ago and I'm still convinced it's the best Hammond emulator out there. Recently picked up a Nord Stage EX 76 which is beautiful.

I've tried out the wave and was impressed, although I found it's 49-key keyboard frustrating - that aspect makes it feel kind of limiting IMO.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

The wave editor just uses USB right? Now that i could afford a wave.... but if they're still using cards that would be awful lol

[KeenAnthony]

I heard this synth uses FM synthesis and can take DX7 patches. Is that true?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i doubt it, as far as I know, Leads can only make osc 2 modulate osc 1... Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but i think DXs have anywhere from 4 to like 16 or 30 operators or some crap .. well maybe more like between 4 and 10.. why would anyone need more than 4?!?

[cuboidatom]

The DX7 has 6 operators, and the Nord Wave only has 2. It can't take DX7 patches. The FM on the Wave is not particularly in depth, it's not really proper FM, just an easy way to get FM sounds without having to do any complicated programming.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i still think nords are the best right now but you just made me really want a TX

[cuboidatom]

hehe, I've got a Nord Wave and TX802, brilliant combination. The TX802 loaded into the Wave sounds fuckign FAT as well man, you should seriously consider getting those two synths.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

that actually does sound like an awesome combo.. i think i saw a really scratched up (probably refurb) TX on ebay for only $200... it's really freaking tempting, but i should probably pay off my nord rack and actually buy a recording/midi PC first lol.. hope it's still on there once i get the cash

[vjrei]

Well, actually there is nothing new BUT the shape. You can do that with Logic Pro and Main Stage software with a 12" Powerbook connected to a midi controller and it will cost you less than $1000.

But still is fun to do it that way. I would love to buy that keyboard and do it THAT way, the problem is that I have 9 keyboards already :s including 3 samplers.

[zioguido]

Great keyboard! But I used to to these things with my Amiga 1200 back in 1992... :) You can do that with virtually any modern workstation.

[trunks2861]

SO HOT

[daszg2]

is it all possible with a G2 and a sampler with 4 outs going into the G2 4 ins?

[daszg2]

uhm... all this is possible if you use a Nord Modular G2 and a sampler via 4 audio inputs :)

[44Bigs]

Great demo!

[fischek]

excellent - very creative and informative

[909techno]

more please!
