Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Oscilloscope Synthesizer Kit

Product Information

Introducing the Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Oscilloscope Kit, an extraordinary DIY companion designed exclusively for musicians seeking a versatile tool. Embracing the foundation of a 4-channel oscilloscope capable of meticulously monitoring both control voltage (CV) and audio signals, the NTS-2 transcends boundaries by bestowing upon its users a cornucopia of functionalities.

Includes info on a wide range of Korg/ARP units including MS-20 mini, ARP 2600 M, and Volca Modular, as well as the SQ-1 and SQ-64 sequencers, NTS-2 Oscilloscope and many, many more! The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 is a DIY “Swiss army knife” for musicians. Building on a 4-channel oscilloscope, it includes a flexible waveform generator, spectrum analyser, and tuner functions that make it the ideal addition to any studio. Featured artists: More than 25 artists including Pete Townshend, Jean-Michel Jarre, Richard Devine, Andrew Huang and many others The NTS-2 Kit and “PATCH & TWEAK with KORG” book were conceived and developed to complement each other, providing not only fundamental knowledge, but also the tools to guide and inspire synth lovers through their music journey. KORG, in collaboration with noted publisher Bjooks, (“PUSH TURN MOVE”, “PATCH & TWEAK” series...) is proud to present a fascinating KORG and ARP synth exploration experience in the form of this special, limited edition Bundle.In addition to the oscilloscope, the NTS-2 also features a powerful, real-time spectrum analyser. Selecting the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode provides the means to analyse waveforms and signals, represented by the sum of sine and cosine signals. This unique spectral analysis is great for sound design, allowing you to clearly see tonal changes with ease. Dual waveform generator and precision tuner The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum analyser mode will be more familiar than the oscilloscope for most users, similar to a spectrum analyser that you might find in an EQ plugin or the utility section of a DAW, visualising the frequency spectrum of a sound. Only one input can be monitored at a time here, with an oscilloscope view overlaid on the spectrum analysis. Once again, the main use here is to visualise how the harmonics and frequency response of a sound change when using, say, distortion. The analyser is also useful for pinpointing specific aspects of a sound; analyse a drum loop, for example, and you can identify the frequencies of the hits, allowing you to dial in filters or EQ to balance the sound. In both scope and FFT mode, the input signals are passively patched through to the Thru outputs, meaning you can easily use the NTS-2 in series as part of your signal flow without having to split signals. Provides a deep understanding of each synthesizer with info on the production process, anecdotes and never-before-heard stories Frequency: 1Hz~10kHz, Hz / NOTE mode switchable, [1ms~10s,sec / BPM switchable(pulse, envelope mode)] NTS-2 is an oscilloscope, tuner, FFT and spectrum analyser that is accurate, intuitive, and incredibly useful. It comes in kit form and can be easily built with no soldering, usually taking no more than 10 minutes! NTS-2 can be easily connected into your synth rig using the dual stereo IN, dual stereo THRU/OUT, and two separate OUTPUTs – then you can use its dual waveform generators to give yourself an extra pair of oscillators or LFOs!

Display modes: Single, Stereo (Input1L-INPUT1R, Input1L - Input2L, Input2L - Input2R), 4ch?XY(Lissajous, 2ch) Behringer has wasted no time in announcing faithful clones of the Sequential Prophet VS (appearing as the Pro VS Soul), the Oberheim OB (appearing in monophonic form as the UB-1 Spirit) , the Roland Jupiter-8 (appearing as the Saturn), Moog Minimoog (appearing as the Model D Soul), Roland JP-8000 (appearing as the JP-4000 Spirit), and the Korg Monotribe (appearing in a new synth 'inspired by' the original unit, the Hirotribe Soul). Finally, there's the big B's take on the EMS VCS3 which was one of the first portable synths. However, compared to Behringer's AKS Soul it’s a giant. A flexible Wave Generator mode makes NTS-2 much more than an oscilloscope. It has two oscillators with dedicated outputs. Each oscillator can create a variety of waveforms – sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and noise – whose shape and phase can be adjusted to suit many applications.

NTS-2 Four-Channel Oscilloscope Kit

The ultimate limited-edition bundle for synth fans, comprising the all-new NTS-2 oscilloscope kit alongside a copy of the new “Patch & Tweak with Korg” book. The book explores semi-modular synthesis and features more than 25 new exclusive interviews with Pete Townshend, Jean-Michel Jarre, Richard Devine and more. As with most of Korg’s product catalogue, there really is something on offer for everyone. Their Volca units provide a great introduction to the world of hardware synths, being as affordable as they are intuitive & compact. At the other end of the scale, their Kronos workstations offer formidable world-class performance that’ll fit any bill, no matter how prestigious. The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 is a DIY multifunctional tool for musicians. Building on a 4-channel oscilloscope that makes it easy to monitor and analyze audio and Control Voltage signals alike, the NTS-2 also includes a flexible waveform generator and spectrum analyzer, as well as tuner functions that make it the ideal addition to any studio. Featured Korg / ARP members: Fumio Mieda, Tatsuya Takahashi, Dina Pearlman, David Friend, and many others
