i've often come back to this A1 video, don't believe i've ever commented, but it merits one. such an excellent job at highlighting this instrument with a really superb job done with Oxygene. excellent work mate!
Andy , Thanks for UA-cam,I wouldn't have found you. Keep the tutorials coming Andy,I'm 50 and this week bought a load of synths to follow a dream ,your tutorials will help with that dream. Cheers Andy.
Hi Terence, yes the strings are nice on the A1 and exactly the same on my old Nord Wave but overall Nord synths seem quite weak and digital sounding. I would advise trying one first before you buy.
THAT is an awesome bit of kit I need to buy!! Thank you! Incredible how ONE dnth can play this and JMJ had to use about 6 keyboards to do the same back in the day!!!
Very close to the original, a little missed detail, the first note (and only that first note) in the lead sequence is passed through a delay effect with feedback only in the right channel which gives a super special yet subtle character to the melody, nicely done.
Very nice sounds and incredibly close to the original. I maybe just going to win an auction for a Nord A1R. I would like to know if these are presets sounds on board. Thanks and compliments for the demo
Hi Andy, why did you not make anymore of these Jarre videos? You get lots of views :) would be great to have a tutorial on how to create these sounds on the Nord. Really appreciate you creating this video and I hope everything is ok
Andy All the models up to the 2X are virtual analog. The Nord Lead 3 and 4 are digital synths. The A1 is an analog synth. There’s something about analog synths that just make them sound more... warm, more emotional. It’s hard to explain. :)
I have GOT to get one of these! OMG JMJ would go nuts for one of these back int the 80’s he had to run about 7 different synths to produce this! What DAW program do you use Andy please?
So just to be clear..it was multi-tracked...or does the A1 allows you to play the 4 different part sounds via midi at the same time?...thanks in advance for your reply...Sid
Hi, never used a Lead x2 so I can't say. I just found some patches that were close and tweaked them a little. I would think the strings would be quite easy, as would be the stabs and the bass. The lead sound relies a lot on the delay on the A1 to get that authentic sound so that would be harder to get right.
Hi, thanks for the helpful comment. A few comments down I did say that At that point I wasn't trying to be accurate I was just playing something that sounded about right. This video is about getting the sounds right, not about my playing.

Awww thanks hü!
I wanted to like this video and I saw I already liked it. This means I returned to your video after a few years. It was a pleasure. Thanks. Cheers! :)
Not the first time I've watched and enjoyed this Andy, well done, "more" the crowd shouts lol
Love Jm jarre to , love everyone making their own versions , love to hear your version on that instrument
Andy ,
Thanks for UA-cam,I wouldn't have found you. Keep the tutorials coming Andy,I'm 50 and this week bought a load of synths to follow a dream ,your tutorials will help with that dream.
Cheers Andy.
Hi Jason, thanks for the kind words, I'm 52 and it's never too late to start so have fun with your synths!
the strings r perfect......in fact the strings r spot on i think i just might buy a nord
Hi Terence, yes the strings are nice on the A1 and exactly the same on my old Nord Wave but overall Nord synths seem quite weak and digital sounding. I would advise trying one first before you buy.
Excellent. Not got a Nord lead but still have an original Nord Modular rack. Been a long time since it had an airing.
THAT is an awesome bit of kit I need to buy!! Thank you! Incredible how ONE dnth can play this and JMJ had to use about 6 keyboards to do the same back in the day!!!
Keyboard Krazy yes i have to buy one too 👌
Buy it its crazy good
Sounds really close - really impressive. Great job Andy. Hope JMJ gets to see this :)
Aww thankyou!
You are talented. Fantastic. Remember my dad playing that. Fantastic.
Hi OCD, No I'm not talented but I glad it brought back some happy memories :)
WOOW! Awesome sounds!
Your incredibly talented! Thank you for sharing your skills and more about the A1!
Thanks Boom Bubble but I am no more talanted than a bucket of water...trust me :)
Sounds great bro, I grew up listening to this. Have just bought an A1
Have fun with the A1 - It's highly underrated but it sounds great :)
Great Sounds and Great Playing!!
absolutely amazing...I already have a NL2X, but A1 seems to be perfectly capable of doing lots and lots of Jarre sounds!
Hi fischek, it's not a bad synth, its a bit limited but what it does it does well.
Andy,fantastic!Отличное звучание!
thats just amazing. puts the A1 on my list. well done
Thanks Ricardo, if you want some more Jarre patches for the A1 checkout this video - ua-cam.com/video/aeThF2s7NKg/v-deo.html
It's probably my favourite synth!
Nice, sounds real authentic
Really great , looking forward to more
Nice work - like it!!
Hi Andy - thats very great Demo and Music with great Sounds - Greeting SoundArtProject
Wow! Awesome! Well done!
Best synth in decades
It's good, but not that good :)
Wow very impressive,, looking to buy a Nord,, just not sure which one as of yet
I think the Nord Lead 4 is the more capable synth but the A1 nails it on the vintage vibe :)
Just bought myself a Korg Triton rack, another asset to any musicians studio
Jarre fan too, like 758
Two tickets to the gun show :)
Also, nice production!
Thanks GoatBoy! Yeah I'm getting on a bit so need to keep fit :)
The Nord sounds cleaner and smoother quality
At 1:33 I believe the keys are not played correctly. The rest is sounding gorgeous! Nice synth and playing
Hi, thanks for the comment. At that point I wasn't trying to be accurate I was just playing something that sounded about right :)
Very close to the original, a little missed detail, the first note (and only that first note) in the lead sequence is passed through a delay effect with feedback only in the right channel which gives a super special yet subtle character to the melody, nicely done.
The string pad sounds great, very smooth, D50 but better
Good job mate !!
I love it, am a big fan of JmJ and you :-) From today on.
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Very nice sounds and incredibly close to the original. I maybe just going to win an auction for a Nord A1R. I would like to know if these are presets sounds on board. Thanks and compliments for the demo
Hi JH, No they are not presets. Check the video description for the download link on the nord forums :)
cool video))
I didn't know that playing a synth can make you so muscular
Lol, I have weights under the desk for when I need a break from playing ;)
It's from carrying it around
it’s the weighted keys 🎹
Hi Andy, why did you not make anymore of these Jarre videos? You get lots of views :) would be great to have a tutorial on how to create these sounds on the Nord. Really appreciate you creating this video and I hope everything is ok
Hi Derek, thanks for the kinds words, yes everything is OK. I would love to do more videos, sadly I just don't get the time.
Nord?Leads?You really it?You have it?Impossible sounds,really...Reality sounds...
J.M.Jarre? =D Nord Lead? =D Instant like and subscribe. :] And I've just found this channel a moment ago.
muy bien....felicitaciones
Really informative video , thanks
It was great to see him perform at Leeds Arena and i am also looking forward to his new album ... ua-cam.com/video/mULr-gnkHtg/v-deo.html
Hello Andy, it seems that I overlooked both, your channel and what is possible to create with the A1 (if one has the skills like you)... subscribed 👍🏻
I have very little keyboard skill but thanks for the kind comments all the same :)
@@andy-ford I think you're much to humble🤔... As I see, there's a lot of people appreciating your videos, and that's for a good reason!
Nord A1 one of the best synths I do not own...;)
Woouha.....nice sound 🤗
Good machine
what are the preset or sound banks for the track
Превосходно! 👏🏻
Why does the A1 sound better than higher models like the Lead 3?
Hi Andy, not sure, not heard a Lead 3 in person but the A1 certainly sounds better than my Wave.
The A1 is newer, so better technology presumably, who knows? lol
Andy All the models up to the 2X are virtual analog. The Nord Lead 3 and 4 are digital synths. The A1 is an analog synth. There’s something about analog synths that just make them sound more... warm, more emotional. It’s hard to explain. :)
wow
Always i have a synchrony problem with the part that you play in the minute 1:56... you can share a Midi with this line please? Thanks !!
Since stage 3 has a1 synth engine will it work the same there. Except I think stage 3 only has 2 part not 4 part hmmmm
Hi, what's the chord seq for SOC, man that's one hell of a tune :)
Hi Simon, I learned them from this video - ua-cam.com/video/Y5Xj0vwf6ao/v-deo.html
Cheers Andy, always wanted to know them, ta
Whats your take on comparing this to a nord lead 4 or 3 ?
I have never had either of those.
I have GOT to get one of these! OMG JMJ would go nuts for one of these back int the 80’s he had to run about 7 different synths to produce this!
What DAW program do you use Andy please?
JMJ used a Nord Lead 1 in Oxygene 7-13
Maybe I actually prefer this over a DSI REV2...
Andy, do you have your own You Tube channel? C'est magnifique.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Juan, thanks for the comment :) Yes I do have my own channel, your're on it - ua-cam.com/users/Yorkshirelad69
What is the silver and white synth behind you, under the Voyager?
Hi Rob, it's a Korg Radias.
💖
minun musiikkia voi kuunella Facebookista sekä Twitteristä että mikseristä.
So just to be clear..it was multi-tracked...or does the A1 allows you to play the 4 different part sounds via midi at the same time?...thanks in advance for your reply...Sid
Sid hyperstellaris Hi Sid. Yes all 4 parts are playing at the same time via midi :)
Hey thanks for the quick reply...yeah just read the manual...4 part multitimbrality ...very crisp sounding synth engine
Dear Andy, do you think it's possible to program these sounds on Nord Lead 2x as well?
Hi, never used a Lead x2 so I can't say. I just found some patches that were close and tweaked them a little. I would think the strings would be quite easy, as would be the stabs and the bass. The lead sound relies a lot on the delay on the A1 to get that authentic sound so that would be harder to get right.
where to find the sheet music ?
Your best bet would be to check on Google or learn it from a midi file in your DAW.

Fail in 1:33
Hi, thanks for the helpful comment. A few comments down I did say that At that point I wasn't trying to be accurate I was just playing something that sounded about right. This video is about getting the sounds right, not about my playing.
Ok, perfect. No problem...Regards from Chile
Hi, pls. have A1 own sequencer?
Sadly, no.
Thanks. Never mind. A1 is still one of my favorites to buy.
nord is the shit
