Overview
A world of synthesis at your fingertips.
The Nu:Tekt NTS-1 digital KIT is a unique, flexible and easy DIY synthesizer that you can easily assemble yourself, without any soldering (a tool is included). KORG is always building new ways to experience hands-on, fun music making. Now, you can too.
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 form factor that you can carry and connect anywhere. Its DIY nature means it’s also very customizable. Explore the possibilities.
NTS-1 is also completely compatible with the logue-SDK*, so it is possible to run any custom oscillator and effect content available for minilogue xd and prologue, or, create your own.
*When using 3rd-party plug-ins on the NTS-1, please consult with the developer first as the content may sound differently than with minilogue xd or prologue based on polyphony.
Equipped with AUDIO IN, SYNC IN, SYNC OUT and MIDI IN connectors, the NTS-1 can easily be used in conjunction with other hardware and software. You can control it using external MIDI controllers and sequencers, use it to modify any audio signal with its powerful digital effects, or even sync it to other hardware and jam along.
It’s also USB micro-B powered, so you can plug it directly to 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.
A Wide Range of Sonic Possibilities
Belying 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.
With its monophonic digital oscillator, one multimode filter, on EG, three LFOs, three stereo effect processors and full arpeggiator, the NTS-1 is a very powerful, flexible, fun-to-explore synth.
The 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 reshaped and adjusted just by simply turning a couple of knobs.
A wide selection of filters (Low pass 2/4-pole, High pass 2/4-pole, Band pass 2/4-pole and OPEN mode, all with resonance) give you serious control over the overall tone of the oscillator.
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 really finish out your sound creations.
NTS-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)
Thanks 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.
Free Bundle of Music Software
The NTS-1 comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope including "Ozone Elements" which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, "Skoove," which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, "Reason Lite" DAW software, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands.
