Free soundbank for Nord Lead A1 and A1R synth from Richard Barbieri
Posted on Sun 21 September 2014 in entries
An amazing free sound bank for the new Nord Lead A1 and A1r analogue modelling synthesisers from a true synth programming legend, Richard Barbieri. Demonstrating the creative and sonic capabilities of the A1’s new analogue modelling engine and its unique user-interface, the sound bank covers a wide range from the eerie pads, atmospherical leads to glitchy rhythms and ethnic instruments from a distant future!
Richard Barbieri started his musical career with the group Japan in 1975. The band achieved critical and commercial success with their 5th studio album "Tin Drum" which stayed in the UK charts for a year. The painstaking approach to synthesiser programming along with the original rhythmic patterns of Mick Karn and Steve Jansen produced a sound that remains original to this day. After 10 years working with the Medium Label with Jansen and Karn and producing 10 albums, he joined the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree in 1993. Their last album "The Incident" charted top 30 throughout Europe and peaked at 25 on the US Billboard chart.
