Groundbreaking Analog Modeling Engine

At the heart of the Lead A1 is Nord's cutting-edge analog modeling engine that authentically recreates a complete analog signal path, capable of a huge variety of sounds. With 24-voice polyphony and four simultaneous synth parts, the Lead A1 is a powerful synth that goes beyond current analog reissue trends.

Fast, Intuitive Programming

The Lead A1's sophisticated yet simple front-panel interface enables rapid patch creation and experimentation. Developed with input from professional synth programmers, the interface includes a new oscillator section, preprogrammed modulation matrix, and simplified ADR envelopes for easy sound design, even for less-experienced users. The oscillator section generates 47 waveforms, from classic analog to digital, while unique oscillator configuration shortcuts simplify programming.

Classic Filter Models and Flexible Modulation

The Lead A1's filter section features 12dB and 24dB low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, as well as emulations of Mini and TB-303 filters. The LFO offers multiple waveforms, and the three-stage ADR envelope provides velocity control and inversion.

Powerful Performance and Sound-Sculpting Features

The Lead A1 includes a morph function to control multiple parameters at once, four arpeggiators, and a master clock for synchronizing the LFO, arpeggiators, and delay. Four individual outputs and pan control provide flexible routing and sculpting options. The Lead A1 comes with Nord Sound Manager software for reorganizing, backing up, and transferring patches.
