Nord Lead A1

The Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer features 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 o... moretherwise be possible, and ultimately delivers sensational sonic results.IncludesUser ManualPower Cord with IEC C14 connectorNord CD ROM with Nord Sound ManagerFeaturesOscillators:Unique Oscillator concept8 Oscillator ConfigurationsPitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, AM, Noise, Dual Osc, FMTraditional Analog and Digital WaveformsModulation:LFO with 5 waveformsMod EnvelopeLFO as additional ModEnvFilter:12, 24dB low-pass filtersHigh-pass and Band-pass filtersTransistor and diode ladder filter simulations of Mini and TB-303Effects: Ensemble, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Ring Modulator, DrivePerformance:4-part multi-timbralMaster Clock Sync of Arpeggiator, LFO and DelayVelocity and Mod Wheel MorphUSB MIDISpecificationsFeatures:49-key octave velocity sensitive keyboard with octave shift buttons (+/-2 octaves).Keyboard Split with 2 slots for the upper and lower sections.Modulation WheelPitch Stick (with no dead zone at zero crossing).Programmable Pitch bend range, up to +/- 4 octavesSeparate up/down bend range: -12 or -24 semitones, + 2 semitones1 pedal input for sustain.1 pedal input for expression pedal.User Interface: 3 LED displays, 23 knobs, 3 encoders and 20+ buttons for program and performance editing.Oscillator Section:Multiple Oscillator waveforms (traditional analog, extended analog, pulse waveforms, wavetable)OSC config knob 8 categories (Pitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, Ring Modulation, Noise, Dual Osc, FM)Filter Section:Multi-mode filter with 12dB (2-pole) low pass, 24dB (4-pole) low pass and band pass, high pass, Ladder M and Ladder 303 characteristics.Cut off, Resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity.ADR/ASR envelope.Filter keyboard tracking can be set to off, 1/3, 2/3 or full.Adjustable Filter Distortion.Modulation Section:LFO 1 generates a triangle, square, sawtooth, inverted sawtooth or sample and hold waveforms. LFO 1 can be routed to Filter Frequency, Pitch, Shape and Osc mod. The LFO 1 rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.LFO can be switched to Env mode with three different characteristics and sample and hold is manually triggered by keyboard.Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave. Modes: up, down, up/down, random, Poly. The Arpeggio rate can be synchronized to the Master Clock.ADR/ASR envelope, velocity control on/off, inverse envelope on/off.Amplifier Section:AD/SR envelope, velocity control on/off, gain control.Individual Pan-control per programPerformance Section:Voice modes: Poly, Legato with portamento, Mono, True Unison 1, 2 & 3.Four program slots for layering possibilities.Effects:FX section with Flanger, Phaser, Ring Modulation, Chorus, Ensemble and Drive.Delay section
