    Nord Lead A1 49 Key Synth


    Synthesis will never be the same after using the Nord Lead A1 analog modeling synthesizer. The Lead A1's cutting-edge architecture enables you to rapidly build an enormous sound library that spans all musical genres, whether you're performing live or in the studio. The A1's quick, user-friendly interface, designed by Nord, allows you to quickly create amazing patches while also promoting experimentation. Wipe the filter and bang out a run on the splittable 49-note Fatar keybed. It sounds and feels amazing, isn't it? Furthermore, the Nord Lead A1 is a great synth for gigging, weighing less than 11 pounds curb weight.
