The Nord Lead 2 Factory Sounds are provided as MIDI SysEx dumps stored in both raw SysEx format (.syx) and Standard MIDI file format (SMF or.mid). The Raw SysEx files can be transmitted to the instrument using a MIDI Dump Utility or librarian software such as the SysEx Librarian by Snoize on the Mac platform or MIDI-OX for Windows users. Clavia DMI AB was founded in 1983 by Hans Nordelius and has its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. The first product – the Digital Percussion Plate 1 – was the first drum pad in the world which allowed the dynamic playing of sampled sounds. Shortly thereafter, the brand ddrum was introduced with its electronical drum kits and trigger systems which quickly gained a following among professional drummers worldwide.

Company history[edit]

Digital drums[edit]

In 1983, Hans Nordelius and Mikael Carlsson began to work in the basement of a home located in the southern suburbs of Stockholm, creating the world's first dedicated digital drum for the commercial market, called the 'Digital Percussion Plate 1'.^[1] In 1984 an improved version that could play four sounds from an EPROM was released under the 'ddrum' name with the now signature red coloring. The same year a drum system was released with several sound modules in a rack, each with its own EPROM. The pads used to trigger the sounds were unusual for the time, since they used real drum heads, whereas other electronic drum kits of the time used rubber pads. This, together with a separate trigger for the snare drum's rim, made for a more realistic playing experience.^[2] The ddrum brand and products were sold in 2005 to their US distributor Armadillo who continues to manufacture drum products under the name.^[3]

Nord keyboards[edit]

In 1995, Clavia released the Nord Lead. Called 'a magic piece of electronics' by Sound on Sound^[4] it popularized the virtual analog type of synthesis. In 1997 the Nord Lead 2 was released, with many improvements, including increasing polyphony from 4 to 16 notes.^[5] The Nord Lead 3 was released in 2001, with a reworked sound engine, better D/A converters and monophonic aftertouch. The most striking aspect of the Nord Lead 3 was that all the sound editing knobs had been replaced with infinite rotary knobs, where the value of the parameter was indicated by a LED 'collar' around the knob.^[6] The rotary knobs, LED collars and keyboard with aftertouch made the Nord Lead 3 an 'absolute delight'^[7] but because of its higher price, the Nord Lead 2 remained in demand. And as some of the parts of the Nord Lead 3 were getting harder to source, Clavia released an updated version of the Nord Lead 2, called the Nord Lead 2x, with faster processors, better D/A converters and an upgraded polyphony to 20 voices.^[7] The Nord Lead 3 was discontinued in 2007, but the Nord Lead 2x remains in production.^[3]

In 1997 Clavia released the Nord Modular, a virtual analog modular synthesizer.^[3] Called a 'landmark in synthesis'^[8] it allowed you to essentially build your own virtual analog synthesizer. It too was later upgraded with the 2004 release of the Nord Modular G2, that gave it the same endless rotary knobs as the Nord Lead 3 and a larger keyboard with aftertouch.^[9]

In 2001 the Nord Electro was released. It was designed to emulate the classical electromechanical keyboards like the Hammond organ, the Rhodes Stage 73, the Wurlitzer electric piano and the HohnerClavinet. The pianos are samples but the organs are modeled using a 'digital simulation'.^[10]

Im 2005, Clavia produced the Nord Stage, combining the organ and piano functions of the Electro with some of the synth functionality of the Lead, while adding other piano functionality and a version with 88 weighted keys.^[11]

In October 2007 Clavia released the Nord Wave, which adds sample-player functionality to the virtual analog engine of the Nord Lead series^[12] and in March 2012 Clavia released the Nord Drum, a virtual analog drum synthesizer.^[13] and the Nord C1 Organ, a dual manual instrument containing the organ section from the Nord Electro 3, to which an emulation of a baroque pipe organ was added in 2009.^[14]

The Nord Piano was released in 2010, which contained the piano section from the Nord Electro 3 with an 88 key hammer action keyboard.^[15]

Clavia has continued to update each of these models, and in 2020 the Nord range included the Nord Stage 3, the Nord Piano 4, the Nord Electro 6, the Nord Lead 4, the Nord Lead A1 and the Nord Wave 2.^[16]

SYSVAD Audio Sample

System Virtual Audio Device Driver Sample (SYSVAD)

The SYSVAD driver highlights many important features of the WDM audio architecture. These are working implementations with source code that can serve as a starting point for writing a custom driver for a proprietary audio device.

The sysvad solution file contains the following projects.

• TabletAudioSample

  The TabletAudioSample project demonstrates how to develop a WDM audio driver that exposes support for multiple audio devices. Some of these audio devices are embedded (speakers, mic arrays) in the system while others are pluggable (headphone speaker/mic, Bluetooth headsets speaker/mic). The driver uses WaveRT and audio offloading for rendering devices. The driver uses a 'virtual audio device' instead of an actual hardware-based adapter and highlights the different aspects of the audio offloading WDM audio driver architecture. For more information about the Windows audio engine, see Hardware-Offloaded Audio Processing (Windows Drivers).

• EndpointsCommon

  The EndpointsCommon project contains common code to both the tablet and phone. For more information, see Universal Windows Drivers for Audio.

• SwapAPO

  The SwapAPO project demonstrates how to develop audio processing objects. It includes sample code that demonstrates how to register and unregister audio processing objects, and also shows how to customize a Control Panel property page to reflect the available features in the processing object. For more information, see Windows Audio Processing Objects.

• KeywordDetectorAdapter

  The KeywordDetectorAdapter project demonstrates how to develop a keyword detector adapter. For more information, see Voice Activation.

Download and extract the Sysvad audio sample from GitHub

The SYSVAD audio sample is available on the Windows Driver Samples GitHub.

You can browse the Sysvad audio sample here:

Follow these steps to download and open the SYSVAD sample.

a. You can use GitHub tools to work with the samples. You can also download the universal driver samples in one zip file.

b. Download the master.zip file to your local hard drive.

c. Select and hold (or right-click)Windows-driver-samples-master.zip, and choose Extract All. Specify a new folder, or browse to an existing one that will store the extracted files. For example, you could specify C:DriverSamples as the new folder into which the files will be extracted.

d. After the files are extracted, navigate to the following subfolder.

C:DriverSamplesAudioSysvad

Open the driver solution in Visual Studio

In Microsoft Visual Studio, Select File > Open > Project/Solution... and navigate to the folder that contains the extracted files (for example, C:DriverSamplesAudioSysvad). Double-click the Sysvad solution file to open it.

In Visual Studio locate the Solution Explorer. (If this is not already open, choose Solution Explorer from the View menu.) In Solution Explorer, you can see one solution that has six projects.
