Meet the NTS-1 Digital MKII, the newest addition to the Nu-Text series of DIY synthesizer and effect kits. Enhanced with a more robust processor, a fresh 18-key multitouch keyboard, an 8-step sequencer, and expanded MIDI functionalities, it promises an elevated synthesis experience. With a potent engine offering novel sounds and effects, this device is engineered for effortless integration and personalised customisation. Perfect for musicians in search of a portable, adaptable synthesizer encounter.
Designed for Creativity
The NTS-1 Digital MKII offers a DIY combination of creativity and versatility. Its newly designed 18-key multitouch keyboard, a substantial improvement over the original ribbon controller, offers fine control for both playing and sequencing. This key improvement enables polyphonic MIDI note signalling, bringing up a world of sound possibilities.
Increase Performance
A feature-rich 8-step sequencer with live and step recording modes brings your creations to life, giving you precise control over gate length and velocity for each note. The autosave tool ensures that your creative settings are saved and ready for the next session.
Powerful Sounds and Effects
The NTS-1 MKII elevates your acoustic landscape to unprecedented heights. The unit features a larger and more powerful CPU, as well as an amazing assortment of sounds, oscillator types, and modulation capabilities. Utilise the Audio IN signal for unique FM, AM, or RING modulations. Fresh new modulation effects, delays, and reverbs will give depth and dimension to your song.
Easy Integration
The NTS-1 MKII's smartly designed connectivity makes it simple to integrate into your configuration. The addition of MIDI OUT, along with SYNC IN/OUT and MIDI IN, expands its compatibility with other devices. MIDI CC compatibility across the majority of parameters, as well as the switch to a USB-C power source, solidify its position as a flexible tool in any musical situation.
Personalise the Synth Experience
The DIY construction and open structure make it a very versatile synthesiser. The open-source logueSDK allows you to not only design unique oscillators and effects, but also alter the hardware. The NTS-1 mkII, powered by a new chip, has increased processing capability, allowing it to handle sophisticated effects and oscillators. For developers, a new API is now available on Github, expanding the possibilities for creativity.
Extensive Software Bundle
The NTS-1 MKII includes a complete suite of music software from Izotope, including "Ozone Elements," "Skoove," and "Reason Lite" DAW software. Additional iPad/iPhone apps and software for Mac/Windows, such as Korg Gadget 2 Le, Korg Module, and numerous sound modules, will improve your music creation and performing abilities.
