Nord Lead A1 Synthesiser Serial No: NK12177
Tested and is in Full Working OrderCondition:(please see photos)CleanedIncludes:Original BoxOwners ManualPower Supply1 Year WarrantyThis is the new Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer 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 SPEED 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.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 26-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. Fundamental 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.OSCILLATOR SECTION The Lead A1’s new Oscillator section generates 47 different waveforms from classic analog to digital harmonic and inharmonic waves, whilst unique Oscillator Configuration Shortcuts make programming more immediate than ever. Start with a single Oscillator waveform select an Oscillator Configuration Shortcut – Pitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, Sub Mix, FM, AM or Noise – and use the Adjust knob to adjust the settings of the configuration.The end result is high speed programming without the need for the usual complexity of routing and patching, and with the opportunity for ready experimentation. A fast track to stunning sound design for both advanced and less experienced programmers.Oscillator Configurations Pitch – adjusts the pitch of the original oscillator.DeTune – adds a second oscillator, with control over its pitch..Sub Mix – adds a second oscillator, with a choice of waveform shapes and pitches.Shape The shaping of the Analog, Extended Analog and Fixed Pulse waveforms uses a traditional waveshaping method, the other waveforms are changed with a spectral shaping process.Sync – emulates Hard sync by adding an additional oscillator that is the sync reference.FM Oscillator 1 will be modulated by a sine wave from oscillator 2 at high frequencies. There are several different pitch offsets for oscillator 2 (-12 to +48 semitones).AM – uses a second oscillator to create Amplitude Modulation.Noise adds a Noise element to the original oscillator, Osc Control sets the mix.FILTER SECTIONThe Lead A1’s filter section features classic 12 and 24 dB Low Pass, a High Pass and a Band Pass filter, together with stunning emulations of the diode and ladder filters from the legendary Mini and the TB-303 synthesizers as used in the Lead 4. The Lead A1’s modeling of these filters capture the true character and response of the originals, allowing supremely flexible and precise sound design. The filters are super-smooth with a warm analog character.LFO & MODULATION SECTION The Lead A1 features an LFO with a choice of waveforms and a three-stage ADR/ASR Modulation Envelope. The LFO rate can be sync’d to the Lead A1’s master clock. The Mod Envelope has its own velocity setting and also includes an Invert function. Thanks to the intuitive design of the front panel it is very easy to see what modulations have been applied and to design incredible sounding patches.EFFECT SECTIONThe Lead A1’s effects section features two stunning brand new analog models of an Ensemble and Chorus, modeled on specific vintage synths and adding classic warmth and analog feel. Alongside these, choose from great-sounding Ring Modulation, Phaser, Flanger, or Drive per slot, and in addition a separate Delay and Reverb for each slot.MOD WHEEL AND VELOCITY MORPH A classic Nord feature, the Morph function via Mod Wheel, Velocity or pedal, allows you to control multiple parameters of the Lead A1 simultaneously. Morph is exceptionally easy to set-up and use – just hold the Morph button and adjust any desired knob.MAIN FEATURESOscillatorsUnique Oscillator concept8 Oscillator ConfigurationsPitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, AM, Noise, Sub Mix, FMTraditional Analog and Digital WaveformsUnisonModulationLFO with 5 waveformsMod EnvelopeLFO as additional ModEnvFilter12, 24 dB low-pass filtersHigh-pass and Band-pass filtersTransistor and diode ladder filter simulationsof Mini and TB-303EffectsEnsemble, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Ring Modulator, DrivePerformance4-part multi-timbralMaster Clock Sync of Arpeggiator, LFO and DelayVelocity and Mod Wheel MorphUSB MIDISpecial featuresMutatorLike ButtonExtra Fat Unison mode
