BA-1

BA-1 by Baby Audio is a modern reimagining of a cult 1982 analog synth that looked like a toy but sounded like a beast. It delivers gritty, colorful textures that are fast to program, making it ideal for bubbly synth leads, basses, and pads. The plugin includes a meticulously modeled FX section based on budget 1980s rack effects, now available as a standalone FX Strip for processing any audio with drive, filtering, delay, reverb, chorus, and speaker simulation. A classic hardware-style arpeggiator with three modes and three-octave range adds authentic 80s movement, while the flexible chorus can be dialed from 0% to 100%. Hidden easter eggs like LFO fade and Chaos introduce unpredictable modulation and nonlinear behavior. With an improved preset browser and a new black and crimson UI theme, BA-1 suits hobby producers seeking characterful, vintage-inspired sounds for pop, dancehall, and indietronica.
