videos upload by Graham Keane

Update: new videos added.

"This simple program will serve as the basis for implementing the Vector Phaseshaping technique as outlined by Lazzarini, Timoney et al."

Playlist demos:

1. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Basic Phase Distortion Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the classic phase distortion technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique produces a non-linear phase distortion of a basic cosine waveform.

2. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Filtered Phase Distortion Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the filtered phase distortion program implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique produces a non-linear phase distortion of a basic cosine waveform which has pitch-tracked filters to tackle some of the aliasing.

3. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Basic Vector Phaseshaping (VPS) Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the basic Vector Phaseshaping technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique uses a 2D inflection point to modulate the phase of a cosine waveform.

4. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Interpolated VPS Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the interpolated Vector Phaseshaping (VPSI) technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique utilises pitch-tracked filters to combat aliasing as well as linear interpolation to reduce the effects of abrupt jumps in the phase due to skipped intervals in the inflection point's range.

5. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Formant Synthesis with VPS - Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of Formant Synthesis in the Vector Phaseshaping technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique uses a 2D inflection point to modulate the phase of a cosine waveform which generates formant peaks over certain ranges.

6. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Formant Synthesis via VPS with Interpolation Gain - Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the Formant Synthesis through Vector Phaseshaping technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This particular version uses an interpolation gain to scale two separate VPS signals which are then linearly mixed to produce the main signal. The final signal is processed with pitch-tracked filters and an additional linear interpolation process to reduce the impact of gaps in the inflection points path which give rise to abrupt phase shifts.

7. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: VPS with Multiple Inflection Points (MVPS) - Analysis

In this short video we will have a quick examination of the output of the Vector Phaseshaping technique with Multiple Inflection Points implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer.

8. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: VPS with Lissajous Modulation - Analysis

In this short video we will demonstrate the output of the Vector Phaseshaping technique with Lissajous Modulation implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer.

9. Korg NTS-1 Custom Oscillator Dev: Multi-Vector Phaseshaping Synthesis (MVPS) Analysis

In this short video we will demonstrate the output of the Multi-Vector Phaseshaping Synthesis technique implemented on the Korg NTS-1 Nu:Tekt digital synthesizer. This technique uses a 3-2D inflection points to modulate the phase of a cosine waveform, which can produce interesting shapes as a result.

"Build it, tweak it, connect it; a world of synthesis at your fingertips!

Korg is always building new ways to experience hands-on, fun music-making.
Now, you can too.

The Nu:Tekt NTS-1 digital KIT is a unique, flexible, and easy DIY synthesizer that you can easily assemble yourself, without any soldering (tool included!).

The first of its kind from KORG’s DIY-focused Nu:Tekt brand, NTS-1 packs a powerful synth and multi-effects engine into a compact form factor that you can carry and connect anywhere. Its DIY nature means it’s also very customizable. Explore the possibilities!

NTS-1 is also completely compatible with the logue-SDK*, so it is possible to run any custom oscillator and effect content available for minilogue xd and prologue, or, create your own.

* When using 3rd party plugins on the NTS-1 please consult with the developer first as the content may sound differently than with minilogue xd or prologue based on polyphony.

A wide range of sonic possibilities

Belying its size, the Nu:Tekt NTS-1 features a digital oscillator inspired by the MULTI engine as found on the acclaimed prologue and minilogue xd, along with an extremely capable arpeggiator including multiple ranges, scales, and modes, plus dedicated spatial, modulation, and delay sections, each with multiple settings to explore.

With a single monophonic digital oscillator, one multimode filter, on EG, three LFOs, three stereo effect processors, and full arpeggiator, the NTS-1 is a very powerful, flexible, fun-to-explore synth.

The main oscillator can produce Sawtooth, Triangle, Square and VPM waveforms, and can load custom oscillators created from Korg’s logue SDK, which means it’s compatible with content created for prologue and minilogue xd. These waveforms can be easily re-shaped and adjusted just by simply turning a couple of knobs.

A wide selection of filters (Low pass 2/4-pole, High pass 2/4-pole, Band pass 2/4-pole and OPEN mode, all with resonance) give you serious control over the overall tone of the oscillator.

The three onboard effects units are inspired by those on KORG’s minilogue xd, which itself took onboard effects to a whole new level. Numerous reverbs, modulation effects, and delays are available to blend and edit at will, to really finish out your sound creations.

NTS-1 also offers a fun and practical arpeggiator with several patterns available. Scales and numerous note orders including a Random mode are also available to create new and original ideas on the fly. The pattern length can be adjusted (from 1 to 24 steps) and, when synced externally, the step duration can also be adjusted (16th to 64th notes)

Thanks to its ribbon controller, simple interface and display, the NTS-1 can be played and enjoyed very intuitively. Deeper parameter changes are also possible with several combinations of buttons / knobs, furthering the possibilities. Don’t let its size fool you; NTS-1 goes deep but keeps it all easily accessible.

Customize the experience

The fun isn’t over after you finish building the NTS-1. The screws on the side panels are long enough to let you easily attach custom side panels.

Get creative and use the NTS-1 in a wide variety of setups. Equipped with AUDIO IN, SYNC IN, SYNC OUT and MIDI IN connectors, the NTS-1 can easily be used in combination with other hardware and software.

You can control it using external MIDI controllers and sequencers, use it to modify and audio signal with its powerful digital effects, or even sync it to other hardware and jam along!

It’s also USB micro-B powered so you can plug it directly to a portable battery and take it anywhere with you! You can also connect to your computer’s USB port or directly to the power supply using a standard USB power plug.

Free bundle of music software

The NTS-1 comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope including 'Ozone Elements' which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, 'Skoove' which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, 'Reason Lite' DAW software, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands.

In other words, the moment you get your hands on this synthesizer you'll have a variety of tools to help you take your music to the next level."

Introducing NOISE: A free white noise user oscillator for the KORG Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital Synth Kit!

video by HurpADervish

"Introducing 'NOISE': A custom white noise user oscillator for the KORG Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital Synth Kit!

NOISE is a basic white noise generator based on the sine_test code in KORG's logue-sdk. Parameter A has no effect on the sound, while parameter B adds soft clipping to the white noise core signal, slightly boosting the level, reducing the dynamic range, and adding some extra overall presence.

Note that shape or pitch modulation will have no audible effect on NOISE, and same sound will be produced regardless of keyboard pitch information.

Use NOISE along with the NTS-1's filters, envelopes, and effects to create a variety of timbres including percussion, sweeps, and much more!

Or use NOISE to turn your NTS-1 into a white noise generator to use with external synths such as the KORG Volca Modular!

NOISE is free to download from JabunAudio.com, though if you'd like to make a donation I'd be truly grateful for the support, and I hope to learn more and create more custom user oscillators for the KORG Nu:Tekt NTS-1 in the future! Subscribe to this channel or support my work on Patreon for future updates and music, and enjoy making some noise, with NOISE!
