The Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 digital KIT is a unique, flexible, and easy DIY synthesizer that you can easily assemble yourself (tool included), without any soldering. The first of its kind from Korg’s DIY-focused Nu:Tekt brand, NTS-1 packs a powerful synth and multi-effects engine into a compact and highly portable form factor. Its DIY nature means it’s also very customizable. Explore the possibilities! A Wide Range of Sonic PossibilitiesBelying its size, the Nu:Tekt NTS-1 features a digital oscillator inspired by the MULTI engine as found on the acclaimed prologue and minilogue xd, along with an extremely capable arpeggiator including multiple ranges, scales, and modes, plus dedicated spatial, modulation, and delay sections, each with multiple settings to explore. The NTS-1 is a powerful, flexible, fun-to-explore synth with a single monophonic digital oscillator, one multimode filter, on EG, three LFOs, three stereo effect processors, and full arpeggiator. BenefitsThe main oscillator can produce Sawtooth, Triangle, Square, and VPM waveforms, and can load custom oscillators created from Korg’s logue SDK, which means it’s compatible with content created for prologue and minilogue xd. These waveforms can be easily re-shaped and adjusted just by simply turning a couple of knobs. FiltersA wide selection of filters (Low pass 2/4-pole, High pass 2/4-pole, Bandpass 2/4-pole, and OPEN mode, all with resonance) give you control over the overall tone of the oscillator. Onboard Effects The three onboard effects units are inspired by those on KORG’s minilogue xd, which itself took onboard effects to a whole new level. Numerous reverbs, modulation effects, and delays are available to blend and edit at will, to finish out your sound creations. FeaturesNTS-1 also offers a fun and practical arpeggiator with several patterns available. Scales and numerous note orders including a Random mode are also available to create new and original ideas on the fly. The pattern length can be adjusted (from 1 to 24 steps) and, when synced externally, the step duration can also be adjusted (16th to 64th notes)CompatibilityNTS-1 is also completely compatible with the logue-SDK, making it possible to create custom oscillators and effects or upload any of the content available for minilogue xd and prologue. InterfaceThanks to its ribbon controller, simple interface, and display, the NTS-1 can be played and enjoyed very intuitively. Deeper parameter changes are also possible with several combinations of buttons/knobs, furthering the possibilities. Don’t let its size fool you; NTS-1 goes deep but keeps it all easily accessible. Customize the ExperienceThe fun isn’t over after you finish building the NTS-1. The screws on the side panels are long enough to let you easily attach custom side panels. Get creative and use the NTS-1 in a wide variety of setups. Equipped with audio in, sync in, sync out and midi in connectors, the NTS-1 can easily be used in combination with other hardware and software. VersatileIt’s also USB micro-B powered so you can plug it directly into a portable battery and take it anywhere with you! You can also connect to your computer’s USB port or directly to the power supply using a standard USB power plug. | Korg Nu:Tekt NTS1 DIY Digital Synthesizer Kit in Black
