Imagine a device so compact that it nestles comfortably in the grasp of your hand, yet harbours a potent waveform generator, a spectral analyzer, and even tuner capabilities. With the NTS-2, the possibilities are as boundless as your creativity, awaiting users to assemble and unleash its true potential. Key Features: Frequency Range: 1Hz~10kHz, Hz/NOTE mode switchable, [1ms~10s,sec/BPM switchable(pulse, envelope mode)]

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. As well as being used as audio, these sounds can also be employed as control voltage sources and set to cycle continuously or operate as one-shot impulses. This means that you can turn them into LFOs, envelopes, triggers, and control voltage generators, making the NTS-2 a potentially useful partner for any patchable synth. 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. 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. Synth beginners and seasoned musicians alike will find the journey not just educational, but also inspirational and full of new discoveries.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 The perfect gift for any synthesizer enthusiast; the NTS-2 builds on the success of the NTS-1 synthesizer kit, with this 4-channel oscilloscope and book bundle. A veritable one-stop-shop for any synth lover; the NTS-2 combines a powerful oscilloscope with an FFT/spectrum analyser, a dual waveform generator and an onboard tuner. Coming in the form of a DIY kit, the NTS-2 can be set up and ready to use within 10 minutes – no soldering required!

The NTS-2 comes in kit form so you can build it for yourself in less than 10 minutes (with zero soldering required). The perfect companion for any synthesizer; the Nu:Tekt 2 features dual stereo inputs and two separate outputs, allowing you to use the waveform generators as additional oscillators or an LFO. The streamlined interface allows you to adapt to the various onboard tools with ease; allowing you to process and visualise signals in seconds. The compact design of the NTS-2 can be powered by 2 x AA batteries or via the USB-C connection for maximum portability. 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. Discover the full story of Korg and ARP synth with detailed timelines, beautiful imagery, and plenty of information. Interviews with members of the Korg and ARP teams shed light on the product creation process, and you’ll enjoy never-heard stories, anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes information Exclusive interviews Even though synthesizers are musical instruments first and foremost, learning about them is easier and more intuitive if we can use our eyes to supplement our ears. Studying waveforms, frequency and time relationships, audio signals, and control voltages become clear and immediate if we can see how they change and interact, not just listen to what they’re doing. Seeing these signals come alive in full color as we patch and tweak gives our learning process a huge boost! Enjoy new and exclusive artist interviews with Pete Townshend, Jean-Michel Jarre, Richard Devine, Andrew Huang, Panic Girl, Legowelt, Red Means Recording, Maude Vôs, Kabuki, Moe Shop, Kristin Hsiao, TALsounds, Robby Stambler, ALOO, ChrisLody, Olga Prudey, On High Mountains, and Loopop.

Features

Meet Korg artists and explore their musical relationship with semi-modular Korg synths. Discover their creative processes, glean useful tips, and be inspired by their integrations with other gear. Go beyond owner’s manuals OK, not exactly a synth in conventional terms but given that it's coming from Korg and is a sequel to its NTS-1 build-it-yourself synth, it's certainly worth a mention here, even if the centrepiece of the hardware isn’t a synth engine but a 4-channel oscilloscope… 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.
