NORD LEAD A1 Synthesizer

The Nord Lead A1 takes analog modeling to new heights with its revolutionary virtual analog engine, producing an unparalleled level of realism and sonic diversity. Perfect for live performances and studio sessions alike, the Lead A1 offers a highly intuitive interface, 26-voice polyphony, and 4-part multitimbral capabilities, allowing you to explore a vast range of soundscapes quickly and easily.

The synth features an extensive oscillator section with 47 waveforms, classic filters including low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass, and emulations of famous transistor and diode ladder filters. It also offers rich modulation options, including LFOs, modulation envelopes, and velocity morph, as well as built-in effects like chorus, phaser, and delay.
