NL2xR Editor & Librarian is a dedicated AU and VSTi plugin designed to seamlessly integrate Clavia Nord Lead and Rack series synthesizers into your digital audio workstation. Compatible with Nord Lead 1, 2, and 2X models, this plugin offers fast and intuitive control, allowing users to edit nearly every parameter of their hardware synth from within their DAW. Its interface responds in real-time to hardware knob and button movements, providing a fluid connection between physical and software control. NL2xR supports automation of parameters, individual layer editing, and direct patch management, enhancing the workflow for producers who want to harness the unique sound of their Nord synths with modern production tools.

One of NL2xR's standout features is its ability to recall patch settings automatically when projects are opened, sending all relevant data to the connected hardware without manual intervention. This eliminates the need for external patch management software and ensures a smooth, efficient production process. The plugin also includes a comprehensive librarian for organizing, browsing, and loading patch banks and individual patches, with support for MIDI and SysEx files. It enables direct saving of patches to the synth’s user memory or temporary buffer and allows editing of patch names and MIDI channel assignments, making patch management straightforward and highly accessible.

NL2xR runs on both Mac and PC platforms in AudioUnit and VSTi formats, supporting 32- and 64-bit environments. While it does not generate or transmit audio itself, it requires a compatible Nord synthesizer connected via MIDI to function properly. The plugin supports multiple Nord synth connections simultaneously, providing flexibility for complex setups. It comes with lifetime free updates and support, ensuring ongoing compatibility and improvements. NL2xR is a valuable tool for producers looking to enhance their Nord Lead and Rack workflow by combining the tactile control of hardware with the convenience of software-based editing and automation.
