Plugin Boutique has announced a limited sale on Baby Audio’s BA-1 synthesizer, offering a 50% discount on the modern re-imagination of a cultish 1982 analog synth through the end of the month.
BA-1 is based on a portable 1980s synth with a toylike appearance and a gritty sound. Despite its small size, it left a big mark on music history, while still flying somewhat under the hype radar.
The original has been used as a secret weapon for bubbly synth textures by some of Sweden’s most successful pop producers of the past two decades. It was also a staple of 1990s digital dancehall and beloved by the indietronica scene for its raw lo-fi quality. The ‘CS01’ – as the original is called – has never been properly captured in software form. So for Baby Audio’s first-ever synth, they started there.
BA-1 for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for $49 USD instead of $99 USD until July 31st, 2025.
