The Nord Lead is a series of virtual analog subtractive synthesizers, manufactured by Clavia.
Released in 1995, the original Nord Lead was the first digital synthesizer on the market to emulate analog synthesis. The now widely accepted term "virtual analog", was first coined by Clavia with the release of the Nord Lead. This synthesizer was distinctive for its red coloration, knob-laden surface and unique pitch-stick and modulation wheel. After the Nord Lead, several updates followed suit; such as the Nord Lead 2, Nord Lead 3, and Nord Lead 2x.

“They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
