New features in version 1.5 - creativity reignited

With the update to version 1.5, BA-1 receives numerous features that significantly improve the creative workflow:

• Vintage-style arpeggiator: Three classic modes (Up, Down, Up/Down) with up to three octaves provide authentic 80s vibes.
• Standalone Retro FX Strip: The characterful effects - Drive, Filter, Chorus, Delay and Reverb - are now also available as a separate plugin for external tracks.
• "Easter Eggs": Hidden parameters such as LFO Fade and Chaos offer even more sonic unpredictability.
• New UI design: The "Black & Crimson" theme provides a fresh look in the studio.
• Enhanced preset browser: Color-coded tags, search function and significantly improved pack management for over 500 inspiring presets.

Sound design with soul - the synthesis section

• Two analog oscillators + FM: In addition to the main oscillator (with iconic triangle and PWM waveforms), BA-1 offers a second, freely tunable oscillator and an easy-to-use FM section - ideal for vivid 80s sounds and playful modulations.
• Analog filter with bite: A 24 dB low-pass filter with intense resonance - up to self-oscillation - brings the dirty hardware character to the point.
• Extended envelope and LFO: The envelope remains true to the original, but now offers host-sync for the attack time. The LFO is also host-syncable and extremely intuitive to use - perfect for organic movements.

Vintage effects with lo-fi love

BA-1 offers an integrated effects rack that can be seen - and above all heard:

• Drive & Tone: Choice of analog circuit bending or classic overdrive.
• Delay, Reverb & Chorus: Authentically modeled after inexpensive 80s rack hardware - the ultimate lo-fi triumvirate.
• Sidechain: Internal ducking effect in 4/4 time or externally triggerable.
• Battery & Speaker Modes: Modeled battery mode with sound artifacts and a lo-fi speaker mode for real mix vibes.

Maximally inspired - minimally overloaded

With over 500 presets, intelligent Re-Gen Randomizer, five UI colour variants and full resizability, BA-1 is a modern tool with a vintage soul. The operation always remains lean, direct and musical.
