Thanks for the fast shipping and excellent product

Such a wonderful little machine. It packs a big punch in such a small frame. I hooked it up with my Korg Volca keys and it?s yin and Yang.

Fun and worth every penny

For the price, this is an amazing little piece of kit. The effects are great, and I love the little one-voice digital oscillator. I've made some enjoyable and messed up sounds on it and aspire to do a little programming on it soon. Thanks!

The NTS-1 is a fun little syth!

This is an awesome little synthe with some powerful effects. Importing new effects and oscillators was easy. Assembling the NTS-1 was not difficult. It's worth the price for the effects alone! Thanks Adorama for the quick shipping!

Arrived late but as expected

Purchased as a gift and Usps delays prevented it from coming in time for the holiday. My husband seemed to enjoy it though. Worked as expected.

Bring your musical creativity to life with the Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital DIY Programmable Synthesizer, a groundbreaking product from KORG's innovative Nu:Tekt brand. This advanced, easy-to-assemble synthesizer kit requires no soldering and comes with all the necessary tools, making it a perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned music producers.

The NTS-1 synthesizer is a compact powerhouse, packing a robust synth and multi-effects engine into a portable design that you can take anywhere. Its DIY nature allows for extensive customization, offering a world of synthesis at your fingertips. With its compatibility with the logue-SDK, you can run any custom oscillator and effect content available for minilogue xd and prologue, or even create your own, opening up a vast range of sonic possibilities.

Despite its compact size, the NTS-1 boasts a digital oscillator inspired by the MULTI engine found in the acclaimed prologue and minilogue xd. It features an arpeggiator with multiple ranges, scales, and modes, along with dedicated spatial, modulation, and delay sections. Each section offers multiple settings to explore, providing a rich palette for your sound creations.

The main oscillator can produce Sawtooth, Triangle, Square, and VPM waveforms, and can load custom oscillators created from Korg's logue SDK. These waveforms can be easily reshaped and adjusted with just a few simple knob turns. A wide selection of filters, including 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 NTS-1 also features three onboard effects units inspired by those on KORG's minilogue xd. Numerous reverbs, modulation effects, and delays are available to blend and edit at will, adding depth and dimension to your sound creations. The synthesizer also offers a practical arpeggiator with several patterns available, scales, and numerous note orders, including a Random mode, to inspire new and original ideas.

The NTS-1 is equipped with AUDIO IN, SYNC IN, SYNC OUT, and MIDI IN connectors, making it easy to use in combination with other hardware and software. You can control it using external MIDI controllers and sequencers, use it to modify an audio signal with its powerful digital effects, or even sync it to other hardware for a jam session. It's USB micro-B powered, so you can plug it directly into a portable battery and take it anywhere with you.

To enhance your music-making experience, the NTS-1 comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope, including "Ozone Elements", "Skoove", "Reason Lite" DAW software, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands. This synthesizer is not just a tool, but a comprehensive package to help you elevate your music to the next level.
