Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Oscilloscope Synthesizer Kit

Product Information

Patch & Tweak with Korg is a Korg-focussed take on Kim Bjørn’s popular series of synth books. This edition focusses heavily on Korg’s current range of semi-modular synths, including the MS-20 Mini, Volca Modular and ARP 2600M, as well as the SQ-1 and SQ-64 sequencers. The book isn’t just about the oscilloscope but does a good job of telling some of the history of Korg’s synths, exploring how artists and producers use them – including new-age icon Kitaro and YouTuber Andrew Huang – as well as making suggestions for how you can explore creative new approaches including analysing sounds with the NTS-2. It’s an excellent companion piece to the scope. Meet the creative minds of Korg’s great history, from Fumio Mieda and Junichi Ikeuchi to Tatsuya Takahashi and the new generation of Korg engineers, as well as the keepers of the ARP legacy: Dina Pearlman, David Friend, and David Mash. Specifications Bundle 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. Discover the history behind the two companies, with detailed timelines and a whole host of facts and interesting information on your favourite synths. From the production process to the inspiration behind the synths; this book has it all. Complete with interviews from both the Korg and ARP teams; explore the never-before-heard stories, anecdotes and behind-the-scenes information. What’s Included

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. Explore the principles of semi-modular synthesis through these beautiful machines, and supercharge your creativity with dozens of tips, techniques, and patches – perfect for synth beginners, experienced pros, Korg enthusiasts, and ARP lovers alike.

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. Dual waveform generator 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. 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!

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 These sounds can be used in the audio range or as control voltage sources, and they can be set to cycle continuously or act as one-shot impulses; that means you can turn them into LFOs, envelopes, triggers, and control voltage generators, as well as sound sources. Attaching the NTS-2 to any patchable synthesizer instantly expands its power in useful ways, making it an analogue synth player’s dream tool. Tuner Frequency Range: 1Hz~10kHz, Hz/NOTE mode switchable, [1ms~10s,sec/BPM switchable(pulse, envelope mode)]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.
