Nord Lead A1 4-Part Multitimbral Synthesizer
Built for performers and sound designers who won’t settle, the Nord Lead A1 blends powerful analog-modeling engine with an intuitive interface. Additionally, with 26-voice polyphony, four independent synth slots, and studio-grade effects, it delivers stunning sounds—fast.
Next-Level Analog Modeling
Firstly, the newly designed engine faithfully recreates a full analog signal path. As a result, it can produce anything from smooth pads to sharp, aggressive leads. Enjoy 47 oscillator waveforms and eight quick-access Oscillator Configurations—Pitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, Sub Mix, FM, AM, and Noise.
Workflow Designed for Speed
Nord designed the A1 to help pros move fast. Pre-routed modulation matrices, simplified ADR envelopes, and one-touch Morph assignments let you map controls to the Mod Wheel, velocity, or pedal. Moreover, the Like and Mutator functions encourage quick experimentation while saving your favorite variations.
Performance Powerhouse
Furthermore, with four arpeggiators, master clock sync, thick-sounding Unison, and flexible splits, the A1 is built for the stage. Conclusively, you can route each of the four parts to its own audio output, pan them from the front panel, and connect easily with USB-MIDI.
