The Nord Lead series helped to make Clavia's reputation, and this is only set to be enhanced with the launch of the Wave.

You might get the impression you are looking at a regular analog style synthesizer. Nothing could be more right - nothing could be more wrong. Based on a legacy of inventing virtual analog synthesizers for almost 15 years, Clavia takes the next generation of lead synthesizers to the next level. The Nord Wave gives you traditional analog sounds that interact and coexist with pretty much anything you want; by combining analog, FM-synthesis, wavetable and sampled waveforms - you can use literally any standard wave file - it is a standard sample player and an analog synthesizer - and so much more in between!

Great for live and studio use. Morph functions are great. Sample import works beautifully.
Interface can feel cluttered. No LED rings on the dials.
If you liked the Nord Lead you're going to love the Wave. It's more versatile and sounds fantastic.
