NTS-1 mk II - building and jamming

video upload by Tweeeeeak!

"Building my NTS-1 mk II, where I'll be testing my future custom oscillators, firstly the ones ported from mk1.

(Check my custom oscillators for NTS-1: https://github.com/tweeeeeak/nts)

Audio from my first jam using both mk1 and mk2.

Mk1 playing Proba-B OSC with arp filtered by the auto probability sequencer of the Proba-B OSC (Function 8) + 'Corrosion' mod FX + delay and reverb. Audio goes through mk2 but bypassing all fx.

Mk2 playing SQR OSC with a recorded sequence on random order + some mod FX + delay and reverb. Reverb is quite wet on the first part of the video and gets dryer somewhere in the middle."

"If you're looking for Roland M-64C compatible cartridges for your old synth- or drum machine gear, but don't want to pay top dollar for vintage unreliable carts, OR over-expensive new ones, these might be interesting to you.

Check them out here:
https://taiwanrider.com/ocart/index.p...

A big thanks to Anders Jensen for the close-ups of some of his MKS modules."

"This M-64C Memory Cartridge is a great addition to your vintage musical instruments.

It's a clone of the original Roland M-64C made from new components. Comes with a professionally 3D-printed casing and waterproof label.

The cartridge is made by me, designed and assembled by hand to order in Taiwan with all new PCB and components. It is perfect for those who are looking for a replacement or an additional memory cartridge. With this memory cartridge, you can ensure that you have enough storage space for your vintage instruments.

A version with switchable dual storage memory is available as well (M-64C-X2).
