Korg - Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital Synth Kit

Product Information

Having everything laid out with individual knobs like a 'proper synth' would be awesome, but in this tiny format it's enough.

The company strives to develop high-end DSP technologies that create truly unique new sounds while also being intuitive and easy to use. SDK stands for “Software Development Kit,” which is a set of tools necessary to develop specific software. This vocoder features a filter bank-type vocoder (which is now experiencing a revival) switchable between eight, 16 and 32 bands, as well as formant shift capabilities. So, when the conditions of the “else” statement are met, the knob is being turned, so the stop effect is processed.Some of these are offered for free and some aren't, please make sure to check the details with the developer. The built-in ribbon controller is handy for demoing sounds and using the Korg NTS-1 with its super flexible arpeggiator (which features several patterns).

The Hall and Plate work in sensible, expected ways and then the other three just take you off to unexplored places and you find yourself tripping back through delay, modulation and the filter into a wistful world of synthesis noodling. That aside, we should note that there’s a little trick involved in connecting the mic, some examples of which are shown below. Given its tiny size, it might surprise you to learn the NTS-1 can’t run on batteries; power is supplied over USB. The Licensed Program and any manuals or other written documentation supplied with the Licensed Program belongs to you. Since the “for” statement has popped up, from here we’ll apply the effect and get busy overwriting the “xn” variable.

It is possible to replace the original panel from the NTS-1 with a custom made front panel and thus creating unique and original interfaces allowing brand new ways to interact with your instrument! Once you’ve entered the “bitcrusher” folder using the cd command, use “make” as we explained last time.

With sawtooth, triangle, square and VPM oscillator options, you can cover a fair amount of sonic ground here, and there are low-, band- and high-pass filter types. This time, we’ll lower the refresh rate, and switch the data output once every certain number of times. All of them drag the pitch around when you fiddle with the Time knob, but it's the Tape delay that's particularly delicious as it wobbles and deteriorates. The maximum number in this loop was “frames”, which uses the same “i” value to process LR, so if we turn the knob halfway we’re all right. The closed bracket on top is for the “for” statement, and the brackets on the bottom mark the end of the function.

However, there are a plethora of programmers out there that have already created some fantastic algorithms for you to download and explore.
