BA – 1 is our modern re-imagination of a cultish 1982 analog synth that looked like a toy but sounded like a beast. It brings you pure and authentic textures that are fast to program and dripping with color.<\/p>\n

The Legacy<\/h1>\n

BA – 1 is based on a portable 1980s synth with a toylike appearance and a gritty sound. Despite its small size, it left a big mark on music history, while still flying somewhat under the hype radar. The original has been used as a secret weapon for bubbly synth textures by some of Sweden\u2019s most successful pop producers of the past two decades. It was also a staple of 1990s digital dancehall and beloved by the indietronica scene for its raw lo – fi quality. The \u2018CS01\u2019 – as the original is called – has never been properly captured in software form. So for our first ever synth, we started there.<\/p>\n

The Sound<\/h1>\n

In keeping with our motto \u201dit\u2019s an evolution, not an emulation\u201d, we modeled the hardware with the greatest possible accuracy, before carefully upgrading it with new and useful features. A second analog – modeled oscillator, FM, polyphony, and more, help to vastly expand the sonic palette of the original. All while keeping its signature sound unspoiled.<\/p>\n

Additionally, BA – 1 lets you drain the battery, bend the circui ts, and use the built – in speaker \u2013 for an authentic lo – fi aesthetic that you could normally only get with hardware.<\/p>\n

The Effects<\/h1>\n

If you know our company, you\u2019ll know that effects are our specialty. So we\u2019ve treated BA – 1 with an FX section worthy of its own plugin. The effects chain is inspired by budget 1980s rack hardware and captures the lo – fi charm of the home studio scene of the era. The overdrive is modeled after a guitar pedal, while the delay, reverb and chorus effects are based on cheap, but amazing , digital rack units. In BA – 1, the effects are not an afterthought but an ingrained part of the sonic signature. So tweak, use, and abuse them.<\/p>\n

The Simplicity<\/h1>\n

BA – 1 is simple, but surprisingly tweakable. We\u2019ve put great effort into tuning all parameters to be in the perfect sweet spot. This results in a rewarding programming workflow where tweaking BA – 1 is a lot of fun and you\u2019ll create new patches on repeat. And if a simple interface is not fast enough, you can always use the smart \u2018Re – Gen\u2019 feature. Hit Re – Gen and BA – 1 will automatically create new and musically tuned patches with every click.<\/p>\n
