From Page 15 in the PDF manual:

Mutate Morph
The Mutator and Randomize features in the Nord Lead A1 can be used to create Morphs.
1 Hold the Morph Wheel button (or latch the Morph by double- tapping on the Morph button) and press Mutate Sound (without Shift).
Several Morph settings will be added to the original sound, as indicated by the green LEDs that lights up on the Panel. If effects are turned off they will be turned on but with rate and dry/wet mix set to 0 as a starting point for the wheel morph.
2 Move the Modulation Wheel to hear the result.
The original sound is heard when the Mod Wheel is set to 0, the Morphed sound is heard when the Mod Wheel is moved to its maximum.
The Mutator can be applied to Velocity Morphs as well, but will not af- fect the effect section. The original sound will be heard when you strike the keys with a velocity of 1, the fully Morphed sound when the velocity is 127.
If the Oscillator LFO Amount, Oscillator Mod Env Amount and the Oscillator Control parameters are all set to 0, the Morph Mutation will be able to change the Oscillator Configuration.
M If Osc Config is set to the Amplitude Modulation or Detune con- figurations, the configuration will not change.
Randomizing a Morph is done in a similar fashion, but by pressing the Randomize Sound button instead. This will create a “wilder” result.

However I have a question about something the reviewer said. "...the A1 has an unexpected trick up its sleeve: you can use the mutated or randomised sound as the far extreme of a morph, then use the morph controller of your choice to slide from the original to whatever result the synth has created for you. I like this."

How do you do that?

Great, thanks. Not sure how I missed that in the manual. Great feature! 8-)

It is...like everything on this board - nothing extra, but clearly each feature included was thought out very creatively
