Patch of the Week 49: volca nubass with Nu:Tekt OD:S Tube Overdrive

Published on Mar 13, 2020 Korg

"The Korg volca nubass features nutube analog vaccum tubes in its oscillator (VTO: Vacuum Tube Oscillator) circuit as well as the saturator for its sub oscillator. But what if we use the Nu:Tekt OD:S tube overdrive pedal DIY kit to add even more tube gain to our signal? The result is a totally distorted acid bassline with massive squelch and filter rip."

ENCHANTING EMPRESS: Dueling #NTS-1 Jam. Two Korg Nu:Tekt Valley of the Waters, Blue Mtns, Australia

Published on Mar 12, 2020 Gary P Hayes

"Eager to try out my two NTS-1s - so took them with me on a little walk down through the wonderful Valley of the Waters - several waterfalls 200m below the Wentworth Falls escarpment... there was no real prep for this beyond spending a few minutes sync'ing them the night before and trying some dual arpeggios ... so excuse the rather 'vague' feel to this one, it has it's moments but consider it a trial ...

LITTLE BIG SOUND: Ambient orchestral cinematic Korg NTS-1 & Volca Keys: Jam Impro #NTS-1 Nu:Tekt

Published on Mar 4, 2020 Gary P Hayes

"Such a surprise this little box and although I would have loved to take it outdoors, torrential persistent rain put an end to that, so a little duo with Volca Keys. The effects in the NTS-1 are pretty amazing, particularly what they call 'riser' reverb, which is almost as good as Strymon's shimmer, so this is used throughout. Other notables are crisp ping-pong delay and some great chorus's. It can also cover everything from deep rich basses through to very complex non standard arpeggios... obviously it has significant limitations compared with instruments 20x the price, but that limitation is what allows you to explore and find treasures, vs being given the universe and hardly exploring anywhere because it is too vast ...

Patch of the Week 45: Using Nu:Tekt NTS-1 as Korg monologue MULTI Engine Oscillator, Part 2

Published on Feb 14, 2020 Korg

"The MULTI engine oscillator in the NTS-1 is the same as on Korg prologue and minilogue xd, meaning it can load custom oscillators created with the SDK. Here’s another way to combine NTS-1 and monologue together into one synth."

Moog Matriarch analog synth and Korg Nu Tekt NTS-1 digital synthesizer, soundscaping and jamming fun

Published on Feb 6, 2020 Expanding Sound

"Last week i had some fun playing with the NTS-1 and some of my Korg Volcas. This week I figured it'd be fun to use the effects on a bigger synth, like the Moog Matriarch.

I connected the Matriarch to the NTS-1 by using the midi connection first. The Matriarch is the Midi Controller for the NTS-1s digital oscillator. I used my little bits 1/8th inch to midi adapter and it seemed to work fine. Although there was an occasional Midi Drift. I also connected the Matriarch to the NTS-1 through the audio input, so all sound is coming from the NTS-1's headphone jack/audio output. This way the NTS-1 can process the Matriarch with its effect section. The reverbs made the Matriarch sound even bigger, and one of the surprising stand out effects was the flanger! I usually hate flanger on my guitar but really enjoyed how it sounded here on the NTS-1 with the Matriarch. The oscillators blend very nicely together, sometimes surprisingly so. It was easy to make some really nice soundscapes and ambient chords using both keyboards at once.

I'm not really playing a song here, just exploring some sounds..... I tried to cut and move on when I felt like I was dragging at some points. It's mostly a little noodling and playing with the Matriarchs sequencer and the NTS-1's arpeggiator here and there. Hope you enjoy it!"

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Assembly & Sound Demo

Published on Feb 3, 2020 Ollie Loops

"In this video, we show your step by step how to assemble the Korg NTS-1 programmable synthesizer kit. We wanted to help users who were looking for a better video tutorial for how to build this kit. And we included some tips and tricks to help users in the assembly process of this DIY synth kit.

The Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 is a programmable single oscillator digital synthesizer with built in effects and arpeggiator. This synth can also have different oscillator types and effects loaded from Korg's corresponding software."

"In this video, we explore the many sounds of the Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Programmable Synthesizer. In this no talking video, we walk through each oscillator and effect on the device. We then have a quick freestyle which combines some of the sounds on the synth. This gives users a sense for what this single oscillator digital synth is capable of."

"We had loads of fun assembling the KORG Nu:Tekt NTS-1 synth at the Korg booth at the winter NAMM show in LA, but now we’re back and had some time to sit down and really discover what’s possible with this mini synth. Assembling your own synth is about as nerdy as it gets, but I’ll tell you what – it sure is fun."

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 synthesizer effects with Volca Keys, jamming and experimenting

"I decided to try something a little different this time. I pulled an excerpt from the full video and put it at the beginning as I thought it sounded pretty. I think it showcases how much atmosphere this little NTS-1 can add to a very simple sounding synth or instrument, like a very straightforward setting on my Volca Keys. After the little 2 minute ambient excerpt the full exploration of the effect section of the NTS-1 begins. I created a quick little sequence and started manipulating the effects, just trying things out. Ive only owned the NTS-1 for a couple days, and even if it didn't come with the digital mono synth I think it would be worth the money. the effects are beautiful and I'm going to have a lot of fun running all kinds of different sources through it."

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Synthesizer Setup and quick jam with Volca Sample

Published on Jan 30, 2020 Expanding Sound

"Just got my Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Synthesizer, a Christmas present from my brother, just delivered as it was on pre-order. I saw that it had the same effect section as the Minilogue XD and I was excited to try it with some Volcas and other synths. The XD has an awesome effects section. This is my first quick video with the new piece. I put the NTS-1 together and did a quick jam. The tiny screws and screwdriver are a little bit of a pain but it came together quick, like 20 mins or so with the tutorial. After it was together I started my noodling by checking out the NTS-1 effects on my sample. I also ran the arpeggiator on latch to create a quick melody to go with the beat.
Hope you enjoy it!"

NAMM 2020: Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 DIY Synth Sounds

Published on Jan 18, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Korg's Nu:Tekt is a DIY division which enables the creation of powerful synthesizers and effects build around several of Korg's own proprietary parts and development platforms.

Korg has previously introduced the NTS-1: a pocket-sized digital synth kit that uses the same multi-drive engine found in the Prologue synthesizers. This year at NAMM, Korg introduces several new concepts, including a NuTube-based overdrive pedal kit, a DIY headphone amp, and an expanded set of ideas about how one could utilize the platform in their NTS-1 to create stunning synths, sequencers, and more.

Korg Nu:tekt NTS-1 Synthesizer - No Talking

Published on Nov 7, 2019 Earmonkey Music

"I got to spend a very few minutes with the Korg NTS-1 at Knobcon 2019 and was very pleasantly surprised how much fun it was. The FX especially are great and the fact you can plug an audio source into it make it almost a no-brainer for the $99 price. This is just a video of my short exploration of this nifty little sound maker."
