The fourth release in Korg's DIY-focussed Nu:Tekt series is bundled here with a special edition of Kim Bjorn's Patch & Tweak book, including interviews with Korg synth designers and players.

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.

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Overview

Exclusive artist interviews including 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

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. 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. 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! NTS-2 wouldn’t be complete without a precise and easy-to-use Tuner with multiple display modes! Nu:Tekt DIY fun Frequency Range: 1Hz~10kHz, Hz/NOTE mode switchable, [1ms~10s,sec/BPM switchable(pulse, envelope mode)]Synth beginners and seasoned musicians alike will find the journey not just educational, but also inspirational and full of new discoveries. 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. 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: 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. There’s also an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode with a realtime spectrum analyser, along with a dual waveform generator. Each of the two oscillators can create sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse and noise waveforms.
