Ambient synthesizer music. Nord Wave patches, pads part 1.

Improvisations on my favourite synth - the underrated and releatively unknown Nord Wave. I programmed all these patches myself - the factory presets leave a LOT to be desired, as per usual! But once you get past these, the marvellous knob-per-function interface, with no menu diving and barely any "shift" functions, makes coming up with new sounds a spontaneous and involving experience. Not to mention the amazing sounding filter (certainly better sounding than any other Nord filter I have tried) and the fab FX which, although basic, sound characterful and just right for the job. It's been obsolete a while now, sadly, as Nord seem to be concentrating exclusively on the Stage/Electro range these days, but I don't see anything replacing the Wave for me as my go-to synth any time soon. No post-processing here at all by the way, just audio straight from the stereo outs.
