The warmth of 1970s analog soul — the glide leads, the rubber-band funk bass, the string-machine shimmer — reborn as a modern instrument for your studio.
Get LordAR-1009 — $49 Read the Manual
Before presets and menus, there were three oscillators, a ladder filter, and a player's two hands. The LordAR-1009 recreates that world faithfully: true analog-style voices with drifting pitch, a fat 24dB ladder filter, single-finger glide that sings between notes, and delayed vibrato that blooms the longer you hold. It's the vocabulary of classic 70s soul, funk, jazz-fusion records and the 80s new wave R&B and Pop — from floating dream melodies to talking squelch leads to bass lines that bounce like rubber.
Saw, square, pulse, triangle, and sine — stack them, detune them, drop one an octave for instant weight. Analog drift keeps every note alive.
A Moog-style 24dB resonant lowpass with dedicated envelope, plus analog saturation that digs the sound into gentle, musical overdrive.
One glowing knob sweeps the whole instrument from dark, thick LOW-END to bright, singing LEAD. Made for live moves.
True legato portamento: hold to glide, release to re-attack — the swooping, talking phrasing that defined an era of lead playing.
Plug-and-play USB keyboards, mod-wheel vibrato, sustain pedal, adjustable pitch-bend range, and right-click MIDI Learn on every knob.
The finishing touches: vintage-voiced echo, string-machine chorus shimmer, and warm ambience — all on the panel.
Every preset is a starting point — twist anything, then save your own sounds with one click.
