Softsynths are landing thick and fast this month, and one of our most beloved engineers of sound-shaping effects plugins, Baby Audio, is now bringing its first synth to market. The BA-1 is modelled after an ’80s legend, the Yamaha CS01. Sporting twin oscillators (something the original didn’t have), the BA-1 is soaked in nostalgia, with retro effects chains modelled after cheaper rack-mounted units that were all the rage in the pre-software world. The Re-Gen button enables the sudden development of spontaneous new patches from thin air. This fresh spin on a dusty classic comes in at a cost of $99.
