Presentation
As you explore the capabilities of the Nord Lead A1, you'll discover an innovative oscillator section offering 47 waveforms, ranging from analog classics to harmonic and inharmonic digital waves. Oscillator configurations allow for quick and intuitive programming, thanks to shortcuts for Pitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, Sub Mix, FM, AM or Noise settings.
All of these configurations give you unprecedented creative flexibility.
The Nord Lead A1 is also equipped with sophisticated filters, including 12 and 24 dB low-pass filters, as well as high-pass and band-pass filters. Emulating diode and ladder filters, inspired by the legendary Mini and TB-303 synthesizers, add authentic sonic richness.
This section of filters will allow you to sculpt varied and expressive soundscapes, suitable for many musical genres.
The Nord Lead A1's effects section further enriches the sonic possibilities with analog Ensemble and Chorus models, delivering vintage warmth. Added to this are ring modulators, phasers, flangers, and distortion effects, each adjustable for each slot.
This section is completed by a delay and a reverb, allowing you to create immersive sound spaces.
The Morph function, accessible via the modulation wheel or velocity, is a major asset, it allows you to control several parameters simultaneously, facilitating smooth transitions between different tones.

Un très bon synthé à modélisation analogique. Seul regret on ne retrouve pas les curseurs ADSR des analogiques qui permettent de façonner rapidement le son. Sinon vraiment un très bon synthé.
