Oh man, where to begin. I'm usually not impressed by dry oscillator sounds but as soon as you started moving the waveform slider I instantly recognized the familiar and very unique sound of my CS01. You guys absolutely nailed the sound and vibe of the original, and the added features makes this a really powerful synth. Everything sounds so musical, and I am just giddy as a schoolboy at the thought of having a CS01 on steroids in the box. I'm putting my real one up for sale today.
@@taedwhoasked It was gone a week after my original comment. BA-1 has been seeing a lot of use. It's a limited synth, but it's really great at what it does.
Guys, this is really so freakin cool. You deserve an award for the regen, speaker and battery knobs alone - genius. I’m copping this right away, can’t wait to play with it tonight!
Yep, I had to get this... so many lovely memories from these sounds and what a lovely interface/feature set. Also big ups to the presenter, really nicely done! 🎹👏
@@tobytodelafontena While I have a big collection, and much more powerful and versatile one's, with amazing features and possibilities, which i love a trust to create any sound one can imagine. I might sounded very bold on my first comment, but this one i just load it up, play a note, tweak 1min and already i heave a theme/song idea in my head, and i can't i simply can't stop playing with it. It is very specific and limiting but it strikes a chord inside me, it sounds pretty good, and it let's me be playful and have fun. I wouldn't think so if i didn't have downloaded the demo :)
@@georgenext3030 Great! That's what we all expect when buying (too many) plugins; when it matches, it's always something exciting. I hope you'll make a lot of great tunes with it! I'll probably buy it too :)
I've been testing the demo version. Really great synth so far! Only thing is...Maybe it's just me, but I'm not getting enough vibrato intensity from the mod wheel compared to other synths. Hopefully in a future update that can be tweaked a bit. Also, for a free plugin idea... to have the speaker module as a separate fx plugin!
Yeah, I think it'd be cool to be able to scale the intensity. But then I guess we start to go away from the simplicity esthetic. Still, better control of the vibrato and what you could control with the MW would be nice.
It took me until about 10 minutes in to notice what synth sitting in the background there, nice little easter egg ;) Look forward to messing around with this little thing!
Amazing walk through as always, Xander! Bought it immediately. Your plugins are so well thought through but the only thing missing is a way to favorite presets! Why is this not available on any of your plugins?! ;_;
This will be great for those who are beginners to synthesizers in general. Also - please add chapters to the video for easy navigation. The explanations were good but would be a pain to find again without chapters.
Just tried this synth, I like it as a gritty alternative to the usual suspects. I hope you can add the following to a future update: sine wave to oscillator waveform (different smooth analog tones), a switch for a sine wave sub oscillator on oscillator 1 (more meat on bass tones), a dial that turns sidechain into tremolo, a formant filter type, and a switch under the chorus switch that enables a phaser.
It would be cool if the additional noise from the battery feature could be level controlled separately to get the shaky tuning but less or none of the noise.
Agreed. I have the same issue with Softube's tape echoes. It sounds really great when pushed but introduces so much noise in a mix I often find myself compromising between character and noise floor.
I take that back. In this case, the noise only appears at the very lowest settings of the battery slider, and only occurs at the end of the envelope tail, which is a great feature to abuse!
I’m enjoying BA-1 now that the iPad version is out. The manual isn’t great though. For example, this video gives more information about the FM feature than the manual does!
I made that one for the video, but you can find the closely related preset "Insel Bass" in the Alexander Ewald section of the presets. Play around with resonance and filter envelope to fine-tune it.
Neat controller used in the video. Plz consider mentioning what you used in the description. I recognized most them but not all, esp. the one ~6 min in
Great synth, and very helpful guide. Am slightly confused by the fact that the presets used in the demo aren't in the factory library - was this a prototype version? Or are these sounds hiding somewhere? Thanks!
Hey Robert. The presets used in the video are all in the factory presets, however some of them might appear under different names in the final version. If there are any specific presets from the video you're looking to locate let us know, and we will tell you their name in the final version.
Great wish they can remake the GUI Much darker with a very dark gray with green and the meters like and 80 Yamaha design The color of skin are to bright not looking like a hardware of the CS1 80s style But the synth sounds very good l love it
Is the default midi cc map published anywhere? Didn't see it in the manual. Also, is it possible to save/re-load different maps for different controllers, or do yo have to midi learn every time?
In Bitwig, if a plugin has a sidechain, I would automatically see that functionality in the plugin container. This is missing for me. I wanted to test out the external sidechain functionality. Is there something that I should be doing? BTW, this synth is soooo much fun to play with and sounds fantastic. Congrats Baby Audio. :)
I really like this synthesizer and bought it as soon as possible. But I have tried all the methods I can think of, and there is no way to activate this synthesizer. It keeps showing that there is no network connection.
Why is the Pitchbender by default 1 octave, most people want that on 2 semitones or 1 whole tone / note ? Then you want to change that and there's no information 'bout that very important function. Not the first time that I have this issue with Synth's, guess that I gonna loose one hour again for searching this function. ✌🏼🤞🏼 By the way I'm using the iOS version, this synth has a good sound with a nice interface. But no control over the pichbender interval makes it for me useless.
If you're on an older PC operating system it might be an opengl issue (to do with your graphics card). In this case, BA-1 is not compatible with your graphics card. But this happens rarely and typically only on very old PC operating systems. You can use BA-1 without the visualizer until you get a new computer. Or we will offer you a refund of course.

@@wolfgangdevries127 I am controlling the modulation wheel with the slider on the right side of Erae Touch, which sets the modulation depth of the LFO. As it is routed to the pitch of the oscillator, it results in a vibrato.
Great sounding synth sadly there are not many bread-and-butter sounds. Mostly graffiti sounds that you won't be able to make much music with. Baby Audio needs to create genre-specific patch banks available for this to be useful for most music makers. Only a hand full of classic sounds that have and still to this day stands the test of time. Great synth, but not many useable sounds. smh
Baby audio are excellent!

From what I heard with the self oscillating filter sweep, sounds legit.
Thank you for reaching out to me. I will try to be more open minded about my expectations.
Looks and sounds great, will have to pick this one up 👏
The Tempo Syncs! Wow.
This thing sounds absolutely beautiful!! I haven't felt inspired by a vsti release and it's sound, for ages.
Maybe you don't look enough for it, because there are a lot of amazing Vst synths out there, including this one : )

Much love to you guys over at BA!! Such an innovative company man! COPPED!!!!! 😭❤
Nice addition of some features I haven't seen directly on a VST before like draining the battery option.
love it thanks
Don’t have it yet but will use techniques you showed.
Ahhh I can't wait to try this out! Sounds really Good!!
Hi Baby audio. How about Yamaha VSS-30 next? That lofi sampler & lofi fm chip 😊
The concept is interesting, I admit! It will integrate my next music! Presets are good, It sounds and it's inspiring, A success, undeniably!
This synth is the best I ever heard with Cherry Audio's Mercury 4 and 6
Sounds and look awesome! You guys have an impressive array of MIDI controllers. 😊
You can tell it's a versatile soft synth because it's compatible with so many different hardware controllers.
