It has a 49-key Fatar keybed and is capable of 24-voice polyphony and 4 simultaneous synth parts. Its interface is designed to provide simplified access to the synth engine's parameters, including its oscillator, filter, modulation, and effects sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOscillator Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nord Lead A1 features their Wave Engine with oscillator configuration shortcuts utilizing two oscillators. Start with a single oscillator waveform (a choice of multiple Analog and Digital waveforms), select an Oscillator Configuration Shortcut - pitch, detune, shape, sync, FM, ring modulation, dual Osc or noise - and use the OSC Control knob to adjust the settings of the configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is high speed programming without the need for the usual complexity of routing and patching, and with the opportunity for ready experimentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lead A1's filter section features classic 12 and 24 dB low-pass, a high-pass and a band-pass filter, together with emulations of the diode and ladder filters from the Mini and the TB-303 synthesizers. The Lead A1's modeling of these filters capture the character and response of the originals, allowing flexible sound design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lead A1's effects section features two analog models of an ensemble and chorus, modeled on specific vintage synths and adding analog feel. Alongside these, choose from ring modulation, phaser, flanger or drive per slot and in addition a separate delay and reverb for each slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMod Wheel and Velocity Morph\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Morph function via mod wheel, velocity or pedal, allows you to control multiple parameters of the Lead A1 simultaneously.
