Nord is a well-known brand in the musical instrument industry, especially for its high-quality synthesizers and keyboards. Founded in 1983 by Hans Nordelius, the Swedish company, officially known as Clavia, gained widespread recognition for its innovative and reliable equipment. Among their most iconic products are the Nord Lead and Nord Wave synthesizers. The Nord Lead series helped popularise virtual analogue synthesis in the 1990s, becoming a staple for musicians seeking a classic analogue feel with modern digital flexibility. On the other hand, the Nord Wave synthesizers offer a unique combination of analogue-modelled synthesis and sample playback capabilities, allowing users to create and manipulate sounds in versatile and expressive ways.

Both the Nord Lead and Nord Wave have established themselves as go-to instruments for professionals looking for rich, dynamic sound quality and intuitive control. The Nord Lead is particularly praised for its powerful filters and punchy sound, ideal for everything from leads to evolving pads. Meanwhile, the Nord Wave stands out with its ability to load user samples and blend them with synthesised sounds, giving musicians immense creative freedom. With their distinctive red design, sturdy build, and hands-on interface, these Nord synthesizers continue to be a favourite among live performers and studio producers worldwide.

Synthesizer

A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.

Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.

Synthesizers

At the heart of electronic music lies the synthesizer — a tool of limitless creativity. From fat analogue basslines and sweeping pads to gritty FM textures and modular experimentation, our range of synths covers every sonic territory. Whether you’re chasing vintage warmth, modern digital precision, or the hands-on joy of knob-per-tweak design, you’ll find something here to inspire. We stock everything from portable groove boxes and desktop mono synths to powerful polys and rare collector’s pieces — ideal for studio producers, performers, sound designers, and synth obsessives alike.
