Maybe you just like the character or the idea of turning physical knobs. I'm not trying to convince you against buying it. And me looking at the Nord is based off hundreds of hrs of work inside reason 8. Reason HAS helped me realize what sound I want per each song part though. My current almost finished product in reason 8 I do not want to repeat any of the process again with 4 part multitimbral functionality is easily replicated with just 4 synths in a combinator. I would actually disagree with Re8et about all the steps necessary (Not that the end result would be bad) as the Nord lead A1 is a very simple synth. In fact, its actually considerably more capable (with or without REs) than what can be done on the Nord. Other than that, a 2 oscillator synth isn't really anything special so I would have to disagree that Reason will never compare. All that means is that the work of layering is done for you. As far as I can see the only thing makes the Nord "better" than any of the synths mentioned is that it's 4 part multitimbral. I'm getting back into hardware at some point. Thank you everyone for the input esp Re8et.īut the simple fact that you state all that has to be done to recreate the nord shows me that reason software will NEVER compare Master Clock Sync of Arpeggiator, LFO and Delay you need to know what to assign them to and build your modular Nord lead accordingly BECAUSE THEY ARE MUTABLE. So basically it's a 4x everything, each with its own ADSR, ARP, LFO, FM, AMP, and FILTERS. So you would need one Vk2 for every OSC out of the AMMO. The Nord A1 has 4-part multi-timbral and every one with its own midi channel, that can also be synced. Vk2 is the first RE to emulate real analog circuitry. Blamsoft Vk1 and 2 and the whole modular RE are just the start. You have to go modular, it's the only way. RPG8 might actually be suitable enough as an arp in the mean time. People buy hardware more-so for a particular sound character or for ease of live performance. Especially since it's so easy to layer them. Software synths in general far exceed the capabilities of hardware. Well the good news is the answer to your question is basically yes. Just didn't know if I could find something like the nord lead a1 in reason already The more work I do in reason the more I see expensive hardware ONLY comparing to it The more I do work in reason 8 the more I want hardware. Yes its ONLY 130 but its the principle and a mean way to treat a new adopter. I bought reason 8 full edition 1 month prior to propellerheads coming out with reason 9 and they would not offer me the upgrade fee for free. Thank you for taking the time out to respond. Layering would require the use of multiple synths in a Combinator to match the 4 part multitimbral functionality.Īs far as arpeggiation, have you tried the Dual Arp player device in Reason 9? It's probably more than capable being that the patterns are customizable The only thing would be matching all the oscillators (AM is the one thing Thor can't do). Thor can accomplish many of the same sounds (per part) as well as many (if not most) of the synth rack extensions and probably far exceed what the Nord is capable of per part. I do not believe there is anything that directly models it or the presets, but from a functionality standpoint, the Nord lead is pretty much just a 2 oscillator synth with layering capabilities (4 part multitimbral).
