Baby Audio BA-1 | Reimagining a Classic, an Analog Synthesizer with Soul

A Synthesizer with Soul

BA-1 is our modern reimagination of a cult-classic analog synthesizer from 1982. It looks like a toy, but sounds like a beast. This plugin delivers pure, authentic sonic textures that are not only fast to program but also full of vivid character. We modeled the original hardware with extreme precision, then carefully upgraded it with practical new features while fully preserving its iconic sound. If you're looking for a Baby Audio BA-1 that delivers classic lo-fi sounds, or an analog synthesizer to inject 80s soul into your music, the BA-1 is a perfect fit, with its built-in classic effects chain being the icing on the cake.

Product Features

Classic Recreation, Evolved: Precisely modeled after the classic 1980s portable synthesizer CS01, with modern features like a second oscillator, FM, and polyphony, greatly expanding its sonic possibilities.
Iconic Lo-Fi Soul: Exclusive "Battery" and "Speaker" functions allow you to simulate pitch wobbles, noise, and distortion when power drains, as well as the unique texture of a built-in speaker, easily achieving authentic hardware-like lo-fi character.
Professional-Grade Effects Chain: Built-in full effects chain inspired by cheap 80s rack hardware, including Drive, Tone, Delay, Reverb, and Chorus. Each effect is meticulously tuned and an integral part of the BA-1's signature sound.
Intuitive and Fast Workflow: All parameters are meticulously tuned to their sweet spots, making sound design enjoyable. It also features the exclusive "Re-Gen" function, intelligently generating musical new sounds with a single click, breaking creative blocks.
Rich Preset Library: Includes over 500 high-quality presets meticulously crafted by top sound designers, covering various styles such as Synthwave, modern pop, Lo-Fi Hip Hop, and 80s/90s nostalgia, providing endless musical inspiration.
Flexible Modern Features: Supports DAW tempo-synced LFO and Envelope Attack, as well as a built-in Sidechain function, allowing your synth sounds to perfectly integrate into modern music production mixes.

Core Features Explained

Oscillator Section

The heart and soul of the BA-1, meticulously modeled to recreate the beloved gritty texture and drift characteristics of the original hardware.
Triangle and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) waveforms are excellent highlights for creating classic 80s Dub sounds.
Compared to the original single-oscillator design, BA-1 adds a second oscillator, offering more flexible sound design options.

FM Modulation

Adds complexity and depth to the classic analog subtractive synthesis architecture, providing more sound design choices.
The FM oscillator can be set one octave above or below Oscillator 1 to add a plastic-like 80s texture.

Filter Section

Analog-modeled 24dB low-pass filter, delivering a rich and full sound.
Resonance provides a gritty bite, and when pushed to the 95-100% range, it begins to self-oscillate, faithfully reproducing the hardware's characteristics.

Envelope Section

Allows you to shape sounds with the same quirky side effects as the original hardware.
Added an option to sync the Attack time with the host DAW's BPM, allowing for perfectly synchronized sweep effects.

LFO Section

Simple, easy to use, and foolproof, just like the original design.
Added the ability to sync the LFO to the host BPM, adapting to more modern applications.
Hidden Easter egg: Click the 'Target' label to discover hidden functions.

Sidechain

Allows synth sounds to 'move with the mix,' offering both 'Internal' and 'External' modes.
Defaults to 'Internal' mode, creating an automatic 4/4 ducking effect synced to the host tempo.
Switch to 'External' mode to duck the BA-1 when receiving a sidechain input signal.
Choose to place the sidechain effect before or after the effects chain.

Effects: Tone + Drive

Tone: Offers two shelving filters, making it easy to make the BA-1's sound darker or brighter.
Drive: Adds gritty analog-modeled distortion, offering two modes: 'Circuit' simulates the effect of circuit bending the original hardware; 'OD' simulates an 80s overdrive guitar pedal.

Effects: Delay + Reverb + Chorus

A combination of gritty digital delay, reverb, and chorus effects, the iconic sound of the 1980s.
This epic effects combination is recreated in BA-1, modeled after the cheap rack hardware of the era.
With all three effects enabled, it's almost impossible to dial in a dull sound.

Battery

The original synthesizer could be battery-powered, but power drained quickly, producing strange sonic artifacts as the battery died.
We modeled this behavior and slightly exaggerated it for better effect.
Draining the battery can produce pitch wobbles, noise, and distortion, with the effect becoming more pronounced as the battery level drops.

Speaker

Simulates the sound of the original hardware's built-in small speaker, adding a unique layer of lo-fi texture and resonance to the sound.
This is the secret weapon for achieving authentic vintage texture and preventing sounds from being too 'clean'.

Smart Sound Generation (Re-Gen)

Create new and unique sounds with every click.
Unlike typical randomization tools, Re-Gen features an intelligent algorithm, calibrated to instantly generate practical and musical presets.
When you're out of inspiration, click Re-Gen and let it guide you to new creative directions.

Additional Features

Diverse Settings

4 Color Options: Offers four interface themes: Gray, Blue, Purple, and Orange, to keep the visuals fresh.
500+ High-Quality Presets: Includes 4 genre-based expansion packs, crafted by top sound designers.

Velocity Sensitivity: Toggle Velocity Sensitivity on or off.
Resizable Window: The plugin window is fully resizable to fit your screen space.
