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. Main features Oscillators Unique Oscillator concept 8 Oscillator Configurations Pitch, Detune, Shape, Sync, AM, Noise, Dual Osc, FM Traditional Analog and Digital Waveforms Modulation LFO with 5 waveforms Mod Envelope LFO as additional ModEnv Filter 12, 24 dB low-pass filters High-pass and Band-pass filters Transistor and diode ladder filter simulations of Mini and TB-303 Nord Lead A1 vs Nord Lead 2X Comparison Chart (PDF) Effects Ensemble, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Ring Modulator, Drive Performance 4-part multi-timbral Master Clock Sync of Arpeggiator, LFO and Delay Velocity and Mod Wheel Morph USB MIDI Our best-ever analog modeling ? At the heart of the Lead A1 is our new analog modeling engine. Taking our virtual analog synthesis to a new 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 interface 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. GENERAL FEATURES 49-key octave velocity sensitive keyboard with octave shift buttons ( /-2 octaves). Keyboard Split with 2 slots for the upper and lower sections. Modulation Wheel Pitch Stick (with no dead zone at zero crossing). 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. 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 12 dB (2-pole) low pass, 24 dB (4-pole) lowpass 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 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 program PERFORMANCE SECTION Voice modes: Poly, Legato with portamento, Mono, True Unison 1, 2 and 3. Four program slots for layering possibilities. EFFECTS FX section with Flanger, Phaser, Ring Modulation, Chorus, Ensemble and Drive. Delay section with tap tempo, four stages of feedback, ping-pong, dry/wet mix. The Delay speed can be synchronized to the Master Clock. Reverb section with five algorithms (Room, Stage 1, Stage 2, Hall 1, Hall 2). MEMORY Programs (single sounds): 8 x 50 (400) locations Performances (multi sounds): 4 x 50 (200) locations AUDIO OUT 4 outputs. Each slot can be assigned to its own output. Headphones output. High resolution low noise 24 bit DACs. MIDI FEATURES All control knobs and switches send and receive control change messages. System exclusive bulk dumps. One program or all programs. Master Clock will sync to incoming MIDI clock.
