Ambient synth music, live recording.
I got inspired by a very nice pad program on my Nord Lead A1. So I tweaked and built a custom performance around it. Also a good way to celebrate 64 subscribers on my channel. :)
All sounds (incl. fx) come from the Nord Lead A1R desktop, played with Yamaha MOXF as a midi controller.
Composed, performed by Sonic Trek.

Never failed to be amazed at the sounds achievable with the A1 and this sounds amazing
Sweeeeeeeet Usually "ambient chillout" jams on youtube are just endless and boring simple-tweaking performances, but my friend, this is utterly awesome. Great vibes, sounds and programming. All hail the swedish king of synths!
Beautiful. :) Congratulations. Nord Lead series rule! :D Thank you for the music. :D
It's an excellent synth. Glad you like the music!
Wow. I've never heard a Nord sound so good.
Very nice tune...got my Nord Lead A1 a few weeks ago...an amazing mashine :-)
Great Sounds and Great Playing
Some ambient Miami Vice vibe to it, wow...
Thanks!
Excellent !!!!! I like this various songs based and modulated by the same string's ensemble and the sequencer is fully in harmony with the mainstream . Great job ST . .
Absolutely gorgeous - love it.
Thank you!
Great composition. Congratulations!
Lovely ambience with just the right amount of spacey-ness. Made me wish that it was another 5 minutes longer.
Thanks for listening! More music maybe in a next video. :)
~This is beautiful and love the Pads and Nord sounds - really nicely done.
Thanks for watching, yes the Nord A1 is a great instrument.
Lovely track. Very atmospheric. Ia m looking forward to listening to more of your work in 2022. :-)
Glad you like it, thank you very much! I'm slowly working on new material as well.
@@sonic_trek Looking forward to hearing it when it comes out. Happy 2022!
@@telantas Happy New Year!
Love it!!! Very relaxing and harmonic.
Thank you, glad you like it.
Beautiful composition!
Thanks for listening Cristian!
Beautiful & Delish - Thanks
Thanks for listening!
Very nice session... Lovely patches you made there, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for listening, I'm glad you liked it!
Awesome! Reminds music from Schiller
Excelente!!!
Thanks
Great track ST! I own the Lead A1R & LOVE this synth! Thank you for sharing :)
I'm very impressed with the A1. Thanks for listening!
Muad'dib i have it and i love it. i also want the lead 4 do u think it change a lot one between the other?
Alberto: I've not heard the NL4 in person - only on YT and read a few articles about the differences. I love the analogue sound of the A1R & there is a pretty good discussion of the differences @ forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2621710/Nord_Lead_A1_vs_Lead_4Enjoy!
Very relaxing actually 😊
Thanks for listening.
Dude this track was great!
Thanks a lot!
Amazing man!
Thanks!
That's Nice! Thanks.
Thanks for listening.
nice!!!!
Thanks for listening!
Which part is the Nord? I think that the Nord A1 is amazing even against current synths. There is something unique about it. The great thing about Nords is they stand out in a mix or live.
Everything you hear is from the Nord. :) The Yamaha keybpoard was used as a midi controller/arpeggiator. There was a drum track going on on the Yamaha, that's why you see it's led meter going, but I decided to mute it (red marked fader all the way down).
This sounds kind of like Kavinsky :) Very cool!
Thanks!
Not quite La Roux though. ;)
Nice! do you have this patch available? At least just the pad part? Because I was thinking of grabbing this if patches like this can be had.
The pad is among the factory programs: bank 2 patch 14, also the tweet sound is among the default patches too, but can't check now.
Sounds great. I love my A1 too. What do you play on the Yamaha? Is it a modern Yamaha synth?
All sounds here are being played by the Lead A1, the Yamaha used only as a controller. The Yamaha MOXF is a few years old model (derived from the Motif XF) it is still being sold. Thanks for listening!
Love it. Bravo. Picking up a brand new A1R this week at a sweet price. Any advice for a newcomer to the unit?
Thanks for the kind comment. A few obvious advices: make sure it has the latest OS running. Go thorugh the manual once, while the unit is infront of you to understand the workflow, shift functions, led screens, settings, etc quickly. I'd recommend using the Nord Sound Manager on your pc, to browse patches, as there are actual patch names associated with the bank and patch numbers, and the ability to order patches by category is very convenient that way. Have fun!
Do you still own the A1? I'm thinking about picking one up. I hear that it's a little limiting with the LFO's and such. But it sounds really nice. Thanks for the demo.
I had to sell it, to fund other gear, that gets used more. If I could have kept the A1, I would have done that. It's a good synth, but I had to make a decision. Thanks for listening.
VNV Nation - When is the future ? : >
Amazing....is this a program i can buy from you? Thanks
Very nice I assume Yama is producing the spacious pads...
Thanks! Pads are played by the Lead A1 too. It is capable to do sounds up to 4 part multitimbrality.
This tune give me the chills. In a good way. Must ask you, do you use the TR-8 as master clock for this tune?
Yep the TR-8 provided the master clock. Glad to hear you liked it!
Great stuff - I have just bought a Nord Lead 4R but don't know where to begin - this is very inspiring - are all these tracks from the Nord?
Thanks Adam! Yes all sounds are coming from the Lead A1 in realtime, external keyboard is used to play and arpeggiate some sounds. Enjoy your Lead 4, it is tonally a very similar beast.
hi thanks can you recommend any web pages or books etc for learning how to use it ! Just listening to your track again - my 17 daughter likes it too - and shes fussy about her music!
I know it sounds dull, but I'd recommend to read the user manual Nord provides, while the unit is infront of you, and try things out on the go. You'll quickly learn important things, like turning off "memory protect" in the settings, to be able to save your own programs/performances to begin with. Download it from their website (www.nordkeyboards.com) if you don't have a print.
I'm glad your daughter approves of my music! :)
Hello ! Incredible sound from the beginning pad! Could you share it? thank you very much !
Hi! Try factory program 2.14
Hello are these synths available to buy? Thanks
Is that an arp or sequencer creating the sounds?
Arp. Randomized arp on the A1 doing the 'bird" sounds, the melodic arp is from the moxf.
Nice..:)
Thanks!
I just got back some tax money, and decided to buy an analog type synth...what is the best I could get for 1000-1500 euros ... in your opinion?
If you mean real analog poly, then my pick would be the Deepmind 12. If virtual analog, the Nord Lead A1.
But there are many other options, really depends on your preference, music style, and your existing gear to complement well.
Hi. With a Sub37, what extra synth would you recommend? I am interested in berlin school, ambient, soundscapes and melodious techno. Been thinking about the OB-6 or pro2... preferably both :) what is your opinion? Thx!
I think I will go for a used Nord Wave at 900 euros..plus a Studiologic Sledge for 550...
Where can i get these patches from if they are for sale that is
There are 4 patches used. The pad sound is an unmodified factory program: 2.14. There is one more factory program that I've mildly modified (don't remember it's number right now), and also 2 custom patches by me. If you'd like to purchase the custom patches, drop me an email (see bottom of my 'about' page for address) and we'll see.
Starts the sequencer from the Roland TR-8s ?
The TR-8 and the Yamaha keyboard are tempo synced via MIDI. The TR-8 is muted, but it had a continuosly running sequencer in 4/4, and the running light served only, as a visual metronome. The 'sequencer' as you call it, is in fact multiple arpeggiators on the Yamaha, and are engaged by touching the keyboard. I bring in & out different arpeggiator layers on the panel with a push of dedicated buttons.
:-)
What is the price point of this beautiful rack ? I think I’m getting to buy one
The rack unit should be ~1.2k eur new, if you find one, but they don't seem to be available anymore, so you'll probably have to try the used market. The keyboard version can be bought around 1.5k new though.
Humon nord......
