A lot of people ask how to make these vowel sounds. Here's how to make one with nord Lead. If you have e-magic soundDiver, I will give you the exact values to have more accurate settings. The values are from 0 to 127, except from the mod env amount that is from -128 to 127
LFO 1:
Wave=Any
Destination=Any
Rate=0
Amount=0

LFO 2:
Destination= Any
Rate=0
Amount=0

Mod Env(This makes the sound go yieai. You can disable it and make it manually with the pulse width modulator):
Dest=PW
Attack=78
Decay=72
Amount=-127

OSC 1:
Waveform=Triangle
FM Amount=81 (This is very important for the character of the sound. If you turn it the sound changes drammatically. You must get it just right)

OSC 2:
Waveform=Pulse
Fine Tune=-10
Semitones=-12(Turn it left from the middle until the light comes on. This also is very important for the character of the sound)
Keyboard Track=On

Sync=Off
Ring MOdulation=Off
Pulse Width=76 (This changes the sound from yieai to ieaiy to eaiyi, etc. when the mod env is on. Moves the order of the vowels back and forth)
OSC1/OSC2 Mix=18

Amplifier Envelope:
Attack=0
Decay=126
Sustain=0
Release=0

Filter Envelope:
Attack=0
Decay=0
Sustain=126
Release=0

Filter:
Cutoff=50
Resonance=12
Envelope Amount=Any
Distortion=On
Filter Type=Notch+LP
Filter Velocity=On
Keyboard Track=On

Unison=On
Voice Mode=Poly
Oct Shift=0
Portamento=0

When you have got the sound, try different settings for the OSC2 Semitones and different settings for the FM ammount. Cool isn't it?

P.S. If anyone can make the "u" sound please post reply. I have managed to make just the "u" for making a voice pad with the lowest octave of the synth but it sounds very distoreted with some notes. I haven't managed to make a yeau sweep.

Also, can someone tell me how I can see the values of the knobs on the small screen of the Nord Lead? I did this three days ago by mistake, but I couldn't find anything about it in the manual. I was turning the knobs and I could see their values going up and down. This can help people to make the patch easier.

Most of the settings are not so important to get them 100% the same values. The most important ones are the semitones for osc2, fm amount and the mod env settings . Experiment with these most(especially the first two). Anyway, even if you don't get it just right, you will probably make something of your own that you will like even better.
