I've been looking at this synth for ages, so this is a super useful video. Thanks 👍😊
NORD has a very elegant tone... always useful in every project ... In the past decade I went crazy buying 6 Clavias of different models and ALL sound amazing in their own category.
Jack's playing completely sells me on things! Best Nord A1 video out there :)
best demo I've seen! He's playing actual music, thank goodness. I'm really excited about this one!
I have it and it's great but why didn't you show what it does in multi mode?
Nice sound and great looking synth 😍
Really nice full sound from the Nord range
A great entry to the Nord brand without busting the bank! We are really impressed by this range.
Jack & the Falcon! Yeah.
Yes Jack do the multi's and blow us all away 🤟🏻👍🏻😁
Does the nord lead a1 have something like the multi mode on the access virus?
awesome great job
Got one, f-ing brilliant ❤️ but only payed £945 a year ago!
Can anyone confirm if this has Fatar TP/7BA keybed or not? This is one of the cheaper Fatar keybeds so I hope not... However I know that each manufacturer tweak their key action even it's Fatar. I haven't tried one yet myself, but would be good to know what people think.
The A1 is great
That’s worth a *ton*
I like how he reviews stuff..
It could use a couple more octaves but I still want one.
Just noticed, his patches are all "likes", as in L.1, L.2, L.4, etc......these are not the factory presets as they would be as follows: A.1, A.2, A.3 and so on......I own the NLA1, the faxtory patches are great but these have been tweaked. Nothing wrong with that, but don't expect it to sound just like this demo at first.
If they did this offer again Id jump at it.
Hello Guy
Can you share all this marvelous presets please?
not any more its now 1499 in 3 years ...gone up in price
I also want to know how good the keybed is. Is it made overly cheaply?
yes but it plays very fast 👍
@chief tp any idea of a good alternative the the Norm Lead A1 that also has internal speakers? For around $650
@chief tp Thanks for the recommendation! Would you by any chance know how the hs60 compares Juno DS 61/76 ? I would rather an internal speaker but I don't mind getting a workstation that doesn't have one if I'm getting overall better bang for the buck..
I almost brought one today 😅
I've only ever used two brands. Access and Nord. They're all I need tbh.
Add Novation Peak to that and you have the perfect trio, for me at least.
@@Sonic-Boom and sequential
@@kyra1888 add ASM and Roland and Korg and Yamaha and Elektron and Arturia and Behringer and Modal and EMU and Casio and Ensoniq and Fairlight and EDP and Alesis and don't forget Roland and Moog and Oberheim and Waldorf and also effects companies like Strymon and Lexicon and Valhalla and CXM and Pizza Mama
As long as the poly doesn't sound stuck in the 1970s, I'm down. Nord is above the rest though.
Sounds almost DX-7ish at times.
what is the difference between Nord Lead 4 and Nord Lead A1 ?
Go on their website or even on UA-cam. They have a video explaining their products line and differences very well ;)
I got a Nord Lead 2x, wondering if I should do a switch, or get a rack version of the A1
I owned that one as well, and yes, A1 sounds better to me.
7:03 😍😍😍
individual patches and also programs which contain up to as many as 4 parts
Shame you didn't demonstrate the multi-layered sounds. Otherwise 👌
We can try and get a longer demo recorded next time... This was just Jack's run-through of the first 10 patches, keep those eyes peeled ;)
Still trying to plug a sustain pedal into my girlfriend. Make a tutorial on that one please!
That sounds like a really bad idea. Look for a damper pedal input instead.
But red
damn you should of checked levels, that was clipping and cracking in every patch
Funny how the synth is red but Jack's dirty mouth is purest blue.
6:01 Easy Jack, that wheel don't go sideways
Kyra what
Great synth but the keys are not so good (cheap) ... You can use midi to solve this. The best synth keys are from the brand Novation ... Feels good, aftertouch ... This should be on the A1
Fatar keyboards are the best.
Thanks for the demo. Useful...sadly confirming I don't need that synth :P I LOVE Nord and I'm a Nord user and fan boy...but that demo shows that the sounds on the A1 are a bit "dated" compared to other modern synths out there now. I would love a similar demo for the Lead 4 now ! ;)
Extra comment/question : Do we know if the synth section in the Nord Stage 3 is the same as the A1 ?
Mathieu Fiset yes we do; it is the same indeed
Mathieu Fiset “dated”???
@@SPAZZOID100 yeah I know the word is maybe not 100% right but I don't feel the sounds are up to date with current pop production standards, which is what I'm after. It also doesn't sound quite as fat and deep as the analog synths out there. That being said...it's a great synth ! But not what I'm after now.
Nord better step it up
Richard Walley ???

For so many years I still don’t like any Nord
On the contrary, I have owned a lot of synths and I am really happy with the synth engine of my NS3. I think depends on how much you master it what you can get out of it. Of course it may be a matter of tastes as well, but what I am trying to say is that this demo is not representative of A1.
meh, better sounding synths out there for this price.
But none as sexy as the NLA1.
And as versatile? I'm seriously asking. Looking for viable options.
@@georgesboutz7534 sexy? eouw - never saw something more ugly than this red piece with a piece of wood as a Pitch Controller and a thin plastic toyish ModWheel....Terrible Keys and the ControlButtonNoise is next Level 😂 You have to be Nord Fan to like this Instrument like 2 Guys I know - they hate everything what Roland and Korg doin and love only Nord and Moog and Elektron. Great Humans - not 😂🤦
@@swtdr34mz just got this one, the color is a bit much yes. But there is nothing plastic about it, all metal including the mod wheel (excluding keys and knobs ofc).
I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t like the wood pitch lever thing, but it is nice. Feels very natural and it has no dead-zone so any movement is affecting pitch.
Keys are not bad, they are not weighted which some people doesn’t like, but it is high quality non weighted keys, feels exactly like an old midi controller I have that I love that has vert similar keys.
Wish it had aftertouch and can’t figure out why the “osc mod” uses the left-most display for some modes but the oscilator display for other modes when showing the values… other than that it is everything I expected and it feels like a high quality product unlike some of the more plastic roland and novation synths (not same price at all but still). Build quality is top notch.
Would never buy it for MSRP though, I got it second hand for the same price as a DeepMind 12. Picked the nord simply because it is “locally produced” close to where I live and that I expect the quality to be higher.
@@blaskkaffe great to hear - I picked up a P6 - terrible Potis - wobbeling like hell but everything else + Sound...just wow. 🔥 Have fun with the A1 ✌🏻
Nord. They always sound dated to me, from new. Except the Modular G2, that still sounds relevant.
“Dated” & “relevant” are VERY subjective terms.
Hence “to me”.

Eli K I’m afraid not.
Hey @@TimH123 I'm looking for a good quality (no reliability issues) 61-76 key keyboard, something with basic control over the sound with preference for internal speakers.. what would you recommend as an alternative?
