help me pick a new synth for live pa

Im looking to buy a desktop synth for playing live. I want to have a ton of knobs on the front so I dont have to menu dive while playing.

Here is my setup

Ocatrack as master for all my samples and drums

Analog 4 for all my analog basses and minimal sounds

Im may or may not us ableton and push, im leaning towards not using it


I'm looking for a nice synth for pads and textures and stuff like that. I've did my research and I've nailed it down to tow

Waldorf blofeld or a nord lead 2x


Anyone use these two? Any suggestions?

nord without a doubt.

Access virus TI is very sick.

Not owning either, and not knowing much about them, I'd say the nord, because more knobs...

More knobs right there on the front face to tweak live.

I would lean towards Nord. Messed with one before, really nice.
Never messed with but have always been curious about the access virus.

I love the virus ti2 but its too much menu diving, I want everything rt at the tips of my fingers. I'm leaning towards the Nord.

NL2x hands down

The virus ti2 would go nice in ableton hmmmmm I don't know if I can justify 2k for a synth
