Baby audio are excellent!
Oh man, where to begin. I'm usually not impressed by dry oscillator sounds but as soon as you started moving the waveform slider I instantly recognized the familiar and very unique sound of my CS01. You guys absolutely nailed the sound and vibe of the original, and the added features makes this a really powerful synth. Everything sounds so musical, and I am just giddy as a schoolboy at the thought of having a CS01 on steroids in the box. I'm putting my real one up for sale today.
no your not ..
Did you sell it?
@@mrt3589 It was gone a week after my original comment. BA-1 has been seeing a lot of use. It's a limited synth, but it's really great at what it does.
@@wouterdesmedt1736 get it back
Dude, this is Rad!! Sounds sick and the intro discount is where it's at! Well done...oh and the trial shutdown is super cool too
Thank you for making this! The Yamaha CS01 was my first synth, and you guys have made the only faithful emulation and then some.
Perfect presentation! What a great sounding synth-projekt!
Yep, I had to get this... so many lovely memories from these sounds and what a lovely interface/feature set. Also big ups to the presenter, really nicely done! 🎹👏
just got this with the update. Your guy's designs of products are after my heart. Don't change!
Guys, this is really so freakin cool. You deserve an award for the regen, speaker and battery knobs alone - genius. I’m copping this right away, can’t wait to play with it tonight!
Much love to you guys over at BA!! Such an innovative company man! COPPED!!!!! 😭❤
Just got this... I really hope you guys start making even more virtual instruments. You've done such an amazing job with this.
Looks and sounds great, will have to pick this one up 👏
Thanks for the tutorial! Baby Audio is bringing the new standard of Synthesizer expression and creativity to iOS!
Ahhh I can't wait to try this out! Sounds really Good!!
Wow! oscillators sounds very nice to be a plugin. Congrats!
This thing sounds absolutely beautiful!! I haven't felt inspired by a vsti release and it's sound, for ages.
Maybe you don't look enough for it, because there are a lot of amazing Vst synths out there, including this one : )
@@tobytodelafontena While I have a big collection, and much more powerful and versatile one's, with amazing features and possibilities, which i love a trust to create any sound one can imagine. I might sounded very bold on my first comment, but this one i just load it up, play a note, tweak 1min and already i heave a theme/song idea in my head, and i can't i simply can't stop playing with it. It is very specific and limiting but it strikes a chord inside me, it sounds pretty good, and it let's me be playful and have fun. I wouldn't think so if i didn't have downloaded the demo :)
@@georgenext3030 Great! That's what we all expect when buying (too many) plugins; when it matches, it's always something exciting. I hope you'll make a lot of great tunes with it! I'll probably buy it too :)
Full Hipster mode activated in every way possible! OTT Hipster vibes.
This is what presentation videos should be like.
Synth Tube needs more pencil mustaches.
love it thanks
Wow! The first synth I ever bought as a teen in the 80s. Best PWM ever, tbh. Ahhh i need this.
From what I heard with the self oscillating filter sweep, sounds legit.
I’d love to have a physical version of this. It just looks so cool
Check out the Yamaha CS01 - if you can get your hands on it it's the hardware inspiration for this synth!
Amazing walk through as always, Xander! Bought it immediately. Your plugins are so well thought through but the only thing missing is a way to favorite presets! Why is this not available on any of your plugins?! ;_;
Nice addition of some features I haven't seen directly on a VST before like draining the battery option.
The Tempo Syncs! Wow.
The concept is interesting, I admit! It will integrate my next music! Presets are good, It sounds and it's inspiring, A success, undeniably!
Instant buy 😊
Thank you for reaching out to me. I will try to be more open minded about my expectations.
Sounds and look awesome! You guys have an impressive array of MIDI controllers. 😊
You can tell it's a versatile soft synth because it's compatible with so many different hardware controllers.
This synth is the best I ever heard with Cherry Audio's Mercury 4 and 6
Hi Baby audio. How about Yamaha VSS-30 next? That lofi sampler & lofi fm chip 😊
Nice 👍🏼
I like it, it’s a simple oscillator!
This will be great for those who are beginners to synthesizers in general.
Also - please add chapters to the video for easy navigation. The explanations were good but would be a pain to find again without chapters.
Ask and you shall revive, evidently :)
Don’t have it yet but will use techniques you showed.
the best
It took me until about 10 minutes in to notice what synth sitting in the background there, nice little easter egg ;)
Look forward to messing around with this little thing!
Good catch, I was wondering if anyone noticed :)

I've been testing the demo version. Really great synth so far!
Only thing is...Maybe it's just me, but I'm not getting enough vibrato intensity from the mod wheel compared to other synths. Hopefully in a future update that can be tweaked a bit.
Also, for a free plugin idea... to have the speaker module as a separate fx plugin!
Yeah, I think it'd be cool to be able to scale the intensity. But then I guess we start to go away from the simplicity esthetic. Still, better control of the vibrato and what you could control with the MW would be nice.
Sure will get it...
I wonder why there is a Yamaha CS01 in the background
In Bitwig, if a plugin has a sidechain, I would automatically see that functionality in the plugin container. This is missing for me. I wanted to test out the external sidechain functionality. Is there something that I should be doing? BTW, this synth is soooo much fun to play with and sounds fantastic. Congrats Baby Audio. :)
Is the default midi cc map published anywhere? Didn't see it in the manual. Also, is it possible to save/re-load different maps for different controllers, or do yo have to midi learn every time?
Is it possible to adjust the pitch bend parameters? cos I can't seem to fin any option?
Hey what is the hardware beatpad machine called used in the explanation of oscillators at 2:20, :)))
Ableton Push 2
Neat controller used in the video. Plz consider mentioning what you used in the description. I recognized most them but not all, esp. the one ~6 min in
neat contollerS...

Great synth, and very helpful guide. Am slightly confused by the fact that the presets used in the demo aren't in the factory library - was this a prototype version? Or are these sounds hiding somewhere?
Thanks!
Hey Robert. The presets used in the video are all in the factory presets, however some of them might appear under different names in the final version. If there are any specific presets from the video you're looking to locate let us know, and we will tell you their name in the final version.
@@BABYAudio-official Ah OK thanks!
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
How can you change the pitch bend size from +12 to +2
Bought the plugin and love it. @BABY Audio @8:19, where is the preset DIGI BASS 2 AE? A search and favourite bar should be installed.
I made that one for the video, but you can find the closely related preset "Insel Bass" in the Alexander Ewald section of the presets. Play around with resonance and filter envelope to fine-tune it.
@@XanderEwald Oooh, got it. I appreciate your response.
I’m enjoying BA-1 now that the iPad version is out. The manual isn’t great though. For example, this video gives more information about the FM feature than the manual does!
Just tried this synth, I like it as a gritty alternative to the usual suspects. I hope you can add the following to a future update: sine wave to oscillator waveform (different smooth analog tones), a switch for a sine wave sub oscillator on oscillator 1 (more meat on bass tones), a dial that turns sidechain into tremolo, a formant filter type, and a switch under the chorus switch that enables a phaser.
These are great suggestions, thanks!
Any audio input 👾 ?
It would be cool if the additional noise from the battery feature could be level controlled separately to get the shaky tuning but less or none of the noise.
Agreed. I have the same issue with Softube's tape echoes. It sounds really great when pushed but introduces so much noise in a mix I often find myself compromising between character and noise floor.
I take that back. In this case, the noise only appears at the very lowest settings of the battery slider, and only occurs at the end of the envelope tail, which is a great feature to abuse!
Has anyone figured out how the MIDI CC learn feature works? I found it totally unintuitive.
Great wish they can remake the GUI
Much darker with a very dark gray with green and the meters like and 80 Yamaha design
The color of skin are to bright not looking like a hardware of the CS1 80s style
But the synth sounds very good l love it
Trial does not work on El Capitan (although the website says it supports Mac OS 10.7 and up).
Would you mind sending us an email at support@babyaud.io then we'll help you out!
I really like this synthesizer and bought it as soon as possible. But I have tried all the methods I can think of, and there is no way to activate this synthesizer. It keeps showing that there is no network connection.
Can you write us at support@babyaud.io ? Then we'll help out with this.
Does anyone know what the interesting controller at 6:15 is? Thanks!
Dart Kombat
@@XanderEwald Thanks!
anyone know how many voices this plugin has?
I counted 6 voices in the beta I think, but not sure if it changed in the release version.
Why is the Pitchbender by default 1 octave, most people want that on 2 semitones or 1 whole tone / note ? Then you want to change that and there's no information 'bout that very important function.
Not the first time that I have this issue with Synth's, guess that I gonna loose one hour again for searching this function. ✌🏼🤞🏼
By the way I'm using the iOS version, this synth has a good sound with a nice interface.
But no control over the pichbender interval makes it for me useless.
As always with Virtual Synths or Plug Ins the Resonance is the big problem. It sounds digital.
which synth of the 80s are they referring to? SH-101?
Based on the looks and features, I'm pretty sure it's the Yamaha CS01 (there's also one on the shelf in the background)
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The visualizer doesn't work on mine :(
If you're on an older PC operating system it might be an opengl issue (to do with your graphics card). In this case, BA-1 is not compatible with your graphics card. But this happens rarely and typically only on very old PC operating systems. You can use BA-1 without the visualizer until you get a new computer. Or we will offer you a refund of course. Write us at support@babyaud.io
@@BABYAudio-official I was trying the demo. I'm using the integrated graphics of a Ryzen 5700g, never had any issues like this with other plugins and the CPU is pretty recent. Just thought I'de let you know, maybe it's a bug. Thanks anyway!
I guess there must be something wrong with me. It sounds like a toy I'll never play with. I bought it before demoing which is something I'll try to never do again. I love baby Audio, but broken synth sounds are not what I'm into. Regards.
Where the iOS version?
Here’s how you ask that question without sounding annoyingly entitled: ‘Are you planning to make an iOS version?’
@@sub-jec-tiv iOS ver confirmed but I went with the Hilda synth
@@sub-jec-tiv hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Out now
I would have got the iOS version, till I saw the price, no f….g chance.
omg!!! where is arp button???? no arp????? wtf????
You use your controllers arp .?
@@ZETONEproductions but why i need to do it?
@@sadcold depends on What controller or daw you use ,, .?
Isn't this guy with Bitwig?
I have recently made tutorials with Bitwig, too :)
@@XanderEwald what is happening at 5:39?
@@wolfgangdevries127 I am controlling the modulation wheel with the slider on the right side of Erae Touch, which sets the modulation depth of the LFO. As it is routed to the pitch of the oscillator, it results in a vibrato.
@@XanderEwald thanks, for the info!
Great sounding synth sadly there are not many bread-and-butter sounds. Mostly graffiti sounds that you won't be able to make much music with. Baby Audio needs to create genre-specific patch banks available for this to be useful for most music makers. Only a hand full of classic sounds that have and still to this day stands the test of time. Great synth, but not many useable sounds. smh
Hey I am currently making a preset pack for BA-1, if you want to test it out and give feedback, I will gladly give it to you :)
I hate this... I saw what the synth would be and thought that I don't need it. Then I came across this video... I should have know, it's Baby Audio!
Haha sorry ;)
