Nord Product Overview

This 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.

At the heart of the Lead A1 is our new analog modelling engine. Taking our virtual analog synthesis to the next level, this modelling 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.

Like all Nord instruments, the Lead A1 is handmade in Nord's Stockholm factory with incredible attention to detail and quality control.

The keyboard is a Fatar 49-key keybed with a super-fast response. With an all-metal chassis, tactile knobs, and unfaltering emphasis on quality, the Lead A1 is an instrument designed to last a lifetime.

The sound of this synthesiser is superb. The pre-made sound banks are impressive without any additional synthesis! I’m still learning how to program and get around this instrument, which shouldn’t take too long as the manual is brilliantly written and set out. It’s solidly built and fairly lightweight considering it’s power! One complaint is that the LED display screen is not entirely visible when standing/sitting in the middle of the instrument: eg when you manipulate sounds a small dot appears to the right to inform that changes have been made - this dot is just cut out of the line of sight. Otherwise, this synth is awesome for what I need it to do and how I play/perform!

Good sounds and simple to use. Only downside is no naming of instrument patches

A compact, powerful and easy to use board that begs you to experiment. The sound is warm and versatile and the build quality is superb. Nothing to touch it at the price.
