I have used the Nord Lead 2 on a few occasions, most notably on HALLUCINATING ELVIS. Whilst I feel it is a very versatile instrument, most of the sound capability is too digital for my personal taste.

Item can be seen at 0'10''.

I have several Moog keyboards, including a Memory Moog, a Source and the newest Mini Moog Voyager.

The first synth I ever owned was an EDP WASP.
