The Nord Lead was the instrument that established virtual analog as a category in the mid nineties, and the line has been refined continuously since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it multitimbral?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A1 is built around fast performance patch access rather than deep multitimbral splits. If you need four independent parts, the Wave 2 is the Nord to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it have effects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The A1 includes the effects section Nord fits across the Lead line, reachable from the panel rather than through menus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the A1 fully analog?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is an analog modeling synthesizer, which means the classic analog signal path is modeled digitally. That gives you total recall of patches, which a true analog synth cannot do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it have weighted keys?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The A1 uses a light synth action, which suits the fast lead and pad playing it is designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat case fits it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMS-GB49 Soft Case Lead A1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this a genuine Nord product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
