Korg NTS-2PT Oscilloscope Kit with Patch & Tweak
Korg NTS-2PT is a bundle combining the Korg NTS-2, a powerful new tool optimised for a variety of studio tasks, and the “PATCH & TWEAK with KORG” book, a comprehensive look at semi-modular synthesis through the lens of KORG and ARP’s iconic synthesizers.
Introduction to NTS-2PT
KORG, in collaboration with noted publisher Bjooks, (“PUSH TURN MOVE”, “PATCH & TWEAK” series…) is proud to present a fascinating KORG and ARP synth exploration experience in the form of this special, limited edition Bundle.
Along with a multitude of artist interviews, patch tips, tutorials, historical explorations, and more, this book will teach you how to put the NTS-2’s power to work in your studio as a companion to your synthesizers and audio gear.
Synth beginners and seasoned musicians alike will find the journey not just educational, but also inspirational and full of new discoveries.
An Interactive Bundle Experience
The NTS-2PT’s NTS-2 and “PATCH & TWEAK with KORG” book were conceived and developed to complement each other, providing not only fundamental knowledge, but also the tools to guide and inspire synth lovers through their music journey.
The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 is a DIY multifunctional tool for musicians. NTS-2 includes a flexible waveform generator and spectrum analyzer. Plus, it features tuner functions that make it the ideal addition to any studio.
The Modern Musician’s Swiss Army knife
The NTS-2PT’s NTS-2 is compact and easy to assemble. But don’t let its size fool you – it packs a real punch! The NTS-2 is an oscilloscope, tuner, FFT, and spectrum analyzer that is accurate, intuitive, and incredibly useful.
But that’s not all – using its dual stereo IN, dual stereo THRU/OUT, and two separate OUTPUTs, you can wire it into your synth rig and use its dual waveform generators to give yourself an extra pair of oscillators or LFOs! It’s the ideal tool for every synth lover and modular user – from beginner to pro.
*No soldering needed, the assembly process requires less than 20 minutes
NTS-2PT; The Best Companion for Synth Learners
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 with NTS-2PT as we patch and tweak gives our learning process a huge boost!
The oscilloscope, a tool for visualizing signals and voltages, has been around for many years – but as scientific instruments, they might not seem like something a musician could easily use. Not anymore – for the first time, an oscilloscope has been designed with the musician in mind!
With NTS-2PT, NTS-2’s interface is simple, clean, and easy to use! Rather than twiddling knobs and trying to understand obscure parameters, simply look at your signals and understand them in a matter of seconds. That way, your artistic focus can remain where it belongs: on making your music.
A Useful Toolset for Musicians
The NTS-2PT includes a variety of useful studio functions, all in a pocket-sized, elegant package that you can take anywhere.
- 4-CHANNEL OSCILLOSCOPE: With its dual stereo inputs, you can study up to four signals at once. Furthermore, you can compare and overlap them with ease. Plus, a variety of display modes let you see your data in color. This is a huge advantage over the old oscilloscopes you’ve seen in science fiction movies!
- FFT / SPECTRUM ANALYZER: A dedicated FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode is another feature of NTS-2PT’s NTS-2. Plus, it has a real-time Spectrum Analyzer!
- DUAL WAVEFORM GENERATOR: The flexible Wave Generator mode has 2 oscillators with dedicated outputs. Thanks to this, you can test your synth rig or just get creative! These sounds can be used in the audio range or as control voltage sources. Plus, they can be set to cycle continuously or act as one-shot impulses. This means you can turn them into LFOs, envelopes, triggers, and control voltage generators, as well as sound sources.
- TUNER: Meet a precise and easy-to-use Tuner with multiple display modes! Plus, it can receive and monitor up to 4 input signals at the same time.
- CONNECTIVITY: NTS-2PT’s NTS-2 features a 4-channel input and dual waveform output features. Plus, its dual stereo THRU/OUT ports let you leave it wired into your system. Speaking of power, the NTS-2 maximizes portability and flexibility too! It does this by using either batteries or a USB-C power supply, depending on your needs.
But That’s Not All!
- Nu:Tekt DIY fun: As with other Nu:Tekt products, the NTS-2 is a DIY kit that is extremely easy and quick to assemble.When you open the bundle with “Patch & Tweak with KORG”, you’ll find something extra: an exclusive set of transparent side panels for NTS-2PT’s NTS-2, letting it stand up at one of two different mounting angles for easy use in any studio or stage rig, as well as a BJOOKS and KORG Sticker set.
- Meet Bjooks and the “PATCH & TWEAK” series:Bjooks is known for the highly-acclaimed industry-standard books such as “PUSH TURN MOVE”, “PATCH & TWEAK”, “PEDAL CRUSH”, “PATCH & TWEAK with Moog”, and “SYNTH GEMS 1”. Each of these books received rave 5-star reviews and have become go-to references within electronic music. These books combine a high-quality design with diverse artist interviews and overviews of gear.
- What is NTS-2PT’s “PATCH & TWEAK with KORG”?: “PATCH & TWEAK with KORG” is a detailed look at semi-modular synthesis. It is based around KORG and ARP’s popular range of patchable synthesizers. You can explore the principles of semi-modular synthesis through these beautiful machines. Plus, supercharge your creativity with dozens of tips, techniques, and patches. Synth novices, experienced professionals, KORG enthusiasts, and ARP lovers alike will find this book an essential resource.
Features & Expansion Of NTS-2PT
Furthermore, this book creates a deep understanding of how these instruments interface with the outside world. Now that you have these instruments, how do you integrate them effectively with the gear you already have? What should your next steps be to maximize their power? You’ll learn lots of these strategies, and much more.
Korg & Arp History
Finally, here’s your opportunity to get the full story of the KORG and ARP synthesizers. It features detailed timelines, beautiful pictures, and plenty of information. Interviews with members of the KORG and ARP teams will shed light on the product creation process. Overall, we are sure you’ll enjoy their never-heard stories, anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes information.
