Korg - Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital Synth Kit

Product Information

Out of the box, the NTS-1 synth features saw, triangle, square and VPM (variable phase modulation) oscillators, along with one user oscillator: Waves. Saw, triangle and square are what you’d expect, boast a pleasing digital edge, and operate as described in the section on control. The VPM and Waves oscillators, however, prove more sonically diverse. VPM is Korg’s version of FM synthesis, which creates harmonically complex tones. Waves, meanwhile, is a wavetable oscillator with ring modulation and bitcrusher effects that, when deployed correctly, can make for wonderfully unpleasant sounds and textures. The Nu:Tekt NTS-1 digital kit” (hereafter abbreviated as the “NTS-1) is an extremely interesting yet affordable build-it-yourself digital synthesizer kit. So, why is DOTEC-AUDIO, a PC plugin developer interested in this synthesizer? It's because this synth lets you write your own programs and then install the sounds (oscillators) and effects you've developed into the NTS-1. You might ask here why we don’t double “frames” here. This is because this is a stereo signal, so we process two lines at a time. Simply put, if you don’t want the contents of the variable to be erased every time a process is executed, set it to “static”, and the contents will be maintained. The logue SDK has married both my passion for playing music and developing unique software solutions. I am having a lot of fun with this, and look forward to sharing my work with everyone."

With the popularity of the Logue-series synths, it’s likely we’ll see a lot more algorithms appear for the NTS-1. The Korg Monotron demonstrated that anyone could own an analogue synth. Still, with the NTS-1, Korg has fulfilled all the promise of the original Monotron, putting a superb-sounding and production-ready synth in your hands for a very reasonable price. Key features The two slashes (//) at the beginning mark a comment. Use these to leave behind notes in your program, as they won’t have any effect on how the program runs. It’s just very playable. To me, it’s the best tone that we’ve had from a live show to date”: Sterling By Music Man debuts affordable new signature StingRay for Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz The key point here is that with “modfx”, input and output was separated last time, but this time “xn” is used for both input and output.On the third line, we have something new. This is necessary to store lots of sounds into memory on the NTS-1. With MSYS2, we’ll move to a different folder using the command “cd ” instead of the mouse. Now I’ll show you a bit of an easier way to do this.

So in this “for” statement, the value of the variable named “i” increases by one with each loop, as long as the value is less than “frames”. As we’ve written over and over again, the basics of audio programming are the same, whether you’re using the NTS-1 or working with a DAW plugin. DirtBoxSynth are an independent developer based in the UK. They have created dozens of oscillators and effects for the ‘Logue platform including wavetable, wavefolding, additive and parametric. The audio demo uses only DirtBoxSynth oscillators and mod/delay effects without using the analogue filter or VCOs. The SDK that’s released here is the logue SDK itself. The best thing to do is to use Git software to obtain the latest version of the SDK, but to do that you’ll need to know how to use Git.MIDI channel setting is not what you think, starts from 0 so if set to 1 receives and sends on channel 2! See online forums for details. Once I figured this out it was easy to set up so parameters are controlled from a Roland A-01. Pretty cool, eh—it’s like stopping a record. Now I’ll show you everything you need to know to make this effect. We hope that this article series has given an opportunity to as many users as possible to build an interest in understanding how their favorite music and synth apps are designed, while playing around with the NTS-1.

NTS-1 is also completely compatible with the logue-SDK*, making it possible to create custom oscillators and effects or upload any of the content available for minilogue xd and prologue.It seems like things are suddenly getting more complicated when we talk about buffers, but it’s no problem. You’ll get it!
