Nord Lead A1 Analog Modeling Synthesizer Keyboard

The Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer is a stunning sounding synthesizer with a simplified yet hugely powerful front panel interface. Producing stand-out sounds for live or for the studio, the Lead A1 is ideal for all musical genres. Thanks to its carefully thought-out user interface, the Lead A1 encourages experimentation, allows for far speedier programming than would otherwise be possible, and ultimately delivers sensational sonic results.THE LEAD FOR SPEEDProducing stand-out sounds for live or for the studio, the Lead A1 is ideal for all musical genres. Thanks to its carefully thought-out user interface, the Lead A1 encourages experimentation, allows for far speedier programming than would otherwise be possible, and ultimately delivers sensational sonic results.OUR BEST-EVER ANALOG MODELING...At the heart of the Lead A1 is our new analog modeling engine. Taking our virtual analog synthesis to the next level, this modeling recreates a total analog signal path with uncanny realism, and is capable of immense sonic variety. With 24-voice polyphony and four simultaneous synthesizer parts, the Lead A1 is a true synthesizer powerhouse that goes far beyond the current trend for limited capability analog reissues....COMBINED WITH OUR MOST INTUITIVE INTERFACEFundamental to the design of the Lead A1 is a brand new simple yet sophisticated front panel interface. The design is in fact the result of requests from professional players - even the most experienced programmers - who need to create the perfect sound as quickly as possible for today's live or studio time demands. The Lead A1 allows easy patch creation and experimentation thanks to a new and unique oscillator section, pre-programmed modulation matrix, and simplified ADR envelopes. Dive in and create incredible patches far quicker than would normally be possible with a synthesizer of such power.Features• 26 voices, 4 part multitimbral• 3 part effects section (FX, delay and reverb) for each part• 49-key velocity sensitive keyboard (keyboard version only) with octave shift buttons, +/-2 octaves• Keyboard Split with 2 slots for the upper and lower sections• Modulation Wheel (keyboard version only)• Pitch Stick with no dead zone at zero crossing (keyboard version only)• Programmable Pitch bend range, up to +/- 4 octaves• Separate up/down bend range: -12 or -24 semitones, + 2 semitones• 1 pedal input for sustain• 1 pedal input for expression pedal
