The first three waveform alternatives for Oscillator 2 are identical to the corresponding waveforms of Os-
cillator 1 (see above). Oscillator 2 also has another waveform, the Noise:

With Noise selected, Oscillator 2 produces noise rather than a pitched waveform. The exact color (fre-
quency content) of the noise can be adjusted with the Oscillator 2 S
turn the knob clockwise, the brighter the noise. All the way to the right, its frequency characteristics is
very close to that of white noise (where all frequencies are represented with equal energy).
'White noise' contains all frequencies at
equal energy levels
Note that the sound of the noise is also affected by the filter setting (as all other sound from the Nord
Lead 2X). If the filter frequency is turned down, adjusting Noise color might not have the expected
effect.
If Sync is activated (see
formant spectrum with strong "body resonance" characteristics. The reason 'synched noise' works at all
is that it's the same series of frequencies that are synched (repeated over and over). In a traditional analog
system this function wouldn't work since the noise is totally random. In 'Sync wave' mode the S
knob works as a "waveform selector". Turning the knob will change the harmonic content of the

sound. The Sync wave selection is not continuous, but stepped, in steps that correspond to the octave
