Korg NTS-2 Oscilloscope Kit & Book Bundle

The NTS-2 kit and book were conceived and developed to complement each other, providing not only a fascinating insight into synth usage and history, but also the tools to guide and inspire synth lovers at any stage of their musical journey.NTS-2 is an oscilloscope, tuner, FFT and spectrum analyser that is accurate, intuitive, and incredibly useful. It comes in kit form and can be easily built with no soldering, usually taking no more than 10 minutes! NTS-2 can be easily connected into your synth rig using the dual stereo IN, dual stereo THRU/OUT, and two separate OUTPUTs – then you can use its dual waveform generators to give yourself an extra pair of oscillators or LFOs! The oscilloscope, a tool for visualizing signals and voltages, has been around for many years. As scientific instruments, they might not seem like something a musician could easily use – but not anymore. NTS-2’s interface is simple, clean, and easy to use - rather than twiddling knobs and trying to understand obscure parameters, you can look at your signals and understand them in seconds. That way, your artistic focus can remain where it belongs: on making music. Features A music toolkit The NTS-2 includes a variety of useful studio functions, all in a pocket-sized, elegant package that you can take anywhere. 4-channel oscilloscope With dual stereo inputs, you can study up to four signals at once, comparing and overlapping them with ease. A variety of display modes let you see your data in colour. Its user interface is clear and quick, thanks to dedicated menu buttons and clickable encoder knob. FFT/Spectrum analyser NTS-2 comes with a dedicated FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode with a real-time spectrum analyser. These handy tools have always been out of reach for the synth musician - they either required expensive hardware or a computer nearby. Now you can carry them in your pocket! Dual waveform generator A flexible Wave Generator mode makes NTS-2 much more than an oscilloscope. It has two oscillators with dedicated outputs. Each oscillator can create a variety of waveforms – sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and noise – whose shape and phase can be adjusted to suit many applications. These sounds can be used in the audio range or as control voltage sources, and they can be set to cycle continuously or act as one-shot impulses; that means you can turn them into LFOs, envelopes, triggers, and control voltage generators, as well as sound sources. Attaching the NTS-2 to any patchable synthesizer instantly expands its power in useful ways, making it an analogue synth player’s dream tool. Tuner NTS-2 wouldn’t be complete without a precise and easy-to-use Tuner with multiple display modes! 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, you’ll find a set of transparent side panels letting it stand up at one of two different mounting angles for easy use in any studio or stage rig. For maximum portability and flexibility, NTS-2 can be powered by batteries or a USB-C power supply, depending on your needs.
