Korg NTS-4 Performance Mixer | SonicLAB Review


video upload by sonicstate

"We look at the ‪@KorgOfficial‬ Korg NTS-4, a compact Nu:Tekt performance mixer kit with audio interface. Assembly is simple, with clear instructions and no soldering.
It has two mono inputs, four stereo inputs, stereo send and return, cue monitoring, USB retrurn level, headphone output and a two-channel USB audio interface running at 24-bit/48kHz.

There are two FX engines, one on the send which includes delays, reverbs, chorus and a range of master effects such as filters, phaser, decimator, drive, distortion, compression and limiting.
These effects are fixed rather than expandable via the Logue SDK of others in the Nu:Tekt range , but they suit hands-on performance - albeit a little fiddly.

The cue system works pre-fader, giving a basic extra bus at a pinch.
USB ground loop noise is possible in some setups.

Price is around £200"

OP-XY + Roger That in a calm, glitchy moment together.


video upload by keinseier

"Generating new harmonic lines and harmonies is one of the strong suits of the OP-XY (just like the OP-Z) and maybe my favorite thing about it.
All melodies in this are generated on the fly, within certain parameters, of course.
Percussion routed out to the Fairfield Circuitry Roger that for some texture."

Electronica w/ OP-1 field Glitchy Rhythms & Overdubbed Instruments | Fun Time 2026-08-03 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece featuring glitchy rhythms with overdubbed synthesizers, piano, and guitar.

On the OP-1 field, synth pads and synth strings are performed. The synth pad performance is recorded and looped directly on the OP-1 field.

Each OP-1 field track is also recorded separately into Ableton Live via USB. Additional piano, guitar, and software synthesizer parts are recorded and layered in Ableton Live."

Minimal Music w/ OP-1 field Piano, Nord Lead & Marimba | Bookstore on a rainy day 2026-08-02 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A minimal piece featuring lo-fi piano loops, synth pads, and marimba sounds.

On the Nord Lead, synth pads are performed with reverb through the Specular Tempus.

On the OP-1 field, a piano sound from the Sampler is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. The signal is processed through the GENERATION LOSS MKII for tape effects, then through the blueSky for reverb.

A minimal marimba loop is layered into the composition in Ableton Live."

Game Boy Advance FMS + Resonant Marbles Electronica | Dimming 2026-07-29 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece featuring Game Boy Advance, OP-1 field, and the resonant sounds of marbles processed through a resonator.

On the Game Boy Advance, sequences are played using FMS. The output is processed through LOSSY and then routed through the SSL SiX CH.

On the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, an electric piano sound from the Sampler is looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. Deep reverb is applied through the blueSky.

A piezo element is attached to a glass bottle containing marbles and metal nuts. The signal is sent into the ‪@MengQiMusic‬ Wingie 2, then processed through the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and layered with micro loop textures."

HWJ WC - No FX


video upload by SynthAddict

"OP-Z
I tried to find perc samples that had no obvious FX, but no additional FX were added to any samples or synths in this performance.
Pretty dry, but that was the challenge. :-)

As it was a simple challenge, I finally had time to make something again after being too busy for my usual HWJ output for many weeks."

In this video, I unbox the POkZ-KOII case for the pocket operator, inspired by the iconic EP-133 KOII. Designed and manufactured by Kumodot in Canada (a creative venture by Marcelo Souza), every case is continuously refined through real customer feedback (currently in the 20th iteration) to deliver a compact, durable, and functional way to protect your Pocket Operator without sacrificing the original feel.

I just used for a couple of days, and I have to say that it is an amazing case. Well built, with a nice feeling, buttons with a transparent part to disperse the LED lights. Everything packed in a gorgeous design.

Dub Techno w/ KORG wavestate & volca modular | Panic Zone Incident 2026-07-25 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A dub techno piece where complex sound textures intertwine.

This work features the wavestate, volca modular, and OP-1 field.

On the wavestate, synth pad sounds are performed and processed through the MOOD MKII. Layered micro loops create dense and complex sound textures.

On the OP-1 field, the DBOX engine generates glitchy percussion sequenced with the ENDLESS sequencer. The CWO effect adds modulation delay, while the MOTHER effect applies gated reverb.

The bassline uses an FM-style bass sound from Omnisphere. The kick and clap sounds use Ableton Sampler.

The volca modular is used without patch cables, with its original sound shaped through parameter editing. It is synchronized with the wavestate through the MSY2, which converts MIDI clock into an appropriate synchronization signal. The volca modular output is processed through the NIGHTSKY with filtering and reverb."

Rain Sound with TB-03 + OP-1 field + norns shield | Raindrop Fragment 2026-07-21 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"An electronica piece layering the sound of rain, piano micro loops, a deeply reverberated TB-03, and harmonies from the OP-1 field.

On the norns shield, a single-note piano melody is recorded and processed with granular synthesis using graintopia. The output is connected to the MOOD MKII, where additional micro loops are layered.

The TB-03 is processed with delay and reverb through LOST+FOUND, then further treated with deep reverb in Ableton Live.

On the OP-1 field, a 32-bar harmony is looped and processed with reverb through the blueSky. Hand-played phrases are layered during the latter half of the piece.

The bassline heard in the latter half is a recorded hand-played performance using a sound from the MOTIF-RACK ES."

SP-404 & Field Recordings +OP-1 field Piano | Fake Green 2026-07-20 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A summer electronica piece where field recordings, abstract electronic sounds, and piano tones blend together.

This work is created with the OP-1 field and SP-404.

On the OP-1 field, the preset Sampler piano sound is performed with reverb through the blueSky.

On the SP-404, synth pad samples and field recording samples are played back. Micro loops are layered through the MOOD MKII, then the signal is processed through LOSSY to create a lo-fi texture."

Electronica w/ Game Boy(LSDj) & TENORI-ON | Precious Day Off 2026-07-18 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A summer holiday electronica piece layering phrases from Game Boy, TENORI-ON, and OP-1 field.

GEARS
‪@yamahaglobal‬ TENORI-ON
‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-3
‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY
‪@Tech21nyc‬ SANSAMP BASS DRIVER DI
‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MKII & LOSSY
‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field

On the Game Boy, melodies are sequenced using LSDj and transformed with the NTS-3 looper. Two signal paths are recorded. One is processed through the SANSAMP, while the other is further processed through the NIGHTSKY with filtering and reverb.

On the TENORI-ON, a simple sequence is played while tape effects are added through the GENERATION LOSS MKII. The signal is then processed through LOSSY to create an even more lo-fi texture.

On the OP-1 field, phrases from the ENDLESS sequencer are occasionally added over a pre-recorded 16-bar harmony loop."
