Meet Hardware Realism. BA-1 is an analog-modeled synth that brings you closer than ever to pure and authentic 1980s textures in a plugin. Just like the real hardware, it’s dead-simple to program, surprisingly versatile, and dripping with sonic color.

THE LEGACY
BA-1 is inspired by 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’s 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 original hardware had never been properly captured in software form. So for our first ever synth, we started there. But then we took it so much further…

THE SOUND
In keeping with our philosophy ”it’s an evolution, not an emulation”, 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.

Additionally, BA-1 lets you drain the battery, bend the circuits, and use the built-in speaker – for an authentic lo-fi aesthetic that you could normally only get with hardware.

THE EFFECTS
If you know our company, you’ll know that effects are our specialty. So we’ve treated BA-1 with a juicy FX section that captures the sound of a decade in six distinctive effects. The FX chain is inspired by budget 80s hardware and brings you the lo-fi charm of home studio rack units. The overdrive is modeled after a guitar pedal, while the delay, reverb and chorus effects are based on grainy digital effects from the era.

With BA-1 v1.5, the FX chain is now included as a separate effect plugin as well so you can add it to any track you desire.

THE SIMPLICITY
BA-1 is simple, but surprisingly tweakable. We’ve 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’ll create new patches on repeat.

And if a simple interface is not fast enough, you can always use the smart ‘Re-Gen’ feature. Hit Re-Gen and BA-1 will automatically create new and musically tuned patches with every click.
