Nord Lead

The Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer will change your concept of synthesis. Whether you’re onstage or in the studio, the Lead A1’s innovative architecture lets you quickly amass a huge arsenal of stunning sounds that work perfectly across musical genres. Nord gave the A1 a fast, intuitive interface that lets you whip up awesome patches fast, and at the same time encourages experimentation. Blast out a run on the splittable 49-note Fatar keybed while sweeping the filter. Sounds and feels incredible, doesn’t it? And with a curb weight of under 11 pounds, the Nord Lead A1 makes an ideal gigging synth.
