I had a Nord Lead 2 on temporary loan once and put it through 
the effects on my ASR-X sampler - what bliss! I still can't believe I 
let that NL2 get away from me :-(  I sampled some of the sounds 
and converted them to MP3 for MANGO to audition (he was the 
AN1x list owner a couple of years back) and it was shortly there 
after he moved over to the NL2 list. I wonder why? ;-) LOL
