Inspired by the classic sounds of the Nord Lead A1**
This is not a Rompler. This is a SYNTH.
"I’m impressed. The sounds are FAT, the effects are LUSH, and the interface is a JOY to use."
– Audio News Room
"This is not a clone, this is BEYOND the hardware, it's a completely new, fantastic beast"
– Jade Starr, How to App
"An excellent release...app captures the soul of the Nord Lead A1 Synthesizer"
– Synth Anatomy
"An iOS-based homage to a virtual analogue classic!"
– Music Radar / Keyboard Magazine
Not imitation, it's Innovation!

NOTE:

If you're looking for a ROMpler like the "Stage" series, this app may not be for you. This is a SYNTH, not a rompler.
All the presets here are new and original. Giving you fresh new sounds that are completely tweak-able
This is not a 1:1 clone and will not load hardware presets.
Please note that this app's sound is closer to the A1, which is a different sound from the NL1/NL2X.

While we were inspired by their wonderful and iconic work, this app is not trying to copy those synths. We created something completely new. It's a synth for synth nerds :)
