Patch & Tweak with Korg

As with most of Korg’s product catalogue, there really is something on offer for everyone. Their Volca units provide a great introduction to the world of hardware synths, being as affordable as they are intuitive & compact. At the other end of the scale, their Kronos workstations offer formidable world-class performance that’ll fit any bill, no matter how prestigious.

The perfect gift for any synthesizer enthusiast; the NTS-2 builds on the success of the NTS-1 synthesizer kit, with this 4-channel oscilloscope and book bundle. A veritable one-stop-shop for any synth lover; the NTS-2 combines a powerful oscilloscope with an FFT/spectrum analyser, a dual waveform generator and an onboard tuner. Coming in the form of a DIY kit, the NTS-2 can be set up and ready to use within 10 minutes – no soldering required! OK, not exactly a synth in conventional terms but given that it's coming from Korg and is a sequel to its NTS-1 build-it-yourself synth, it's certainly worth a mention here, even if the centrepiece of the hardware isn’t a synth engine but a 4-channel oscilloscope… 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. Meet the creative minds of Korg’s great history, from Fumio Mieda and Junichi Ikeuchi to Tatsuya Takahashi and the new generation of Korg engineers, as well as the keepers of the ARP legacy: Dina Pearlman, David Friend, and David Mash. Specifications Bundle Patch & Tweak with Korg is a Korg-focussed take on Kim Bjørn’s popular series of synth books. This edition focusses heavily on Korg’s current range of semi-modular synths, including the MS-20 Mini, Volca Modular and ARP 2600M, as well as the SQ-1 and SQ-64 sequencers. The book isn’t just about the oscilloscope but does a good job of telling some of the history of Korg’s synths, exploring how artists and producers use them – including new-age icon Kitaro and YouTuber Andrew Huang – as well as making suggestions for how you can explore creative new approaches including analysing sounds with the NTS-2. It’s an excellent companion piece to the scope.

Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Overview

Equipped with two oscillators (each with dedicated outputs); the NTS-2’s Wave Generator mode allows you to create a wide range of waveforms. Sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse and noise waveforms are included, providing the ability to customise the shape and phase of each waveform for added flexibility. You can use the various waveforms as control voltage sources or use them within the audio range. They can also be triggered as one-shot impulses or be set to continuously cycle. The versatile nature of the waveform generator means you can use the various waveforms as LFOs, envelopes, trigger control voltage generators and even as a sound source. Patch & Tweak with Korg Explore the world of semi-modular synthesis The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 is a DIY Swiss army knife for musicians. Building on a 4-channel oscilloscope, it includes a flexible waveform generator, spectrum analyser, and tuner functions that make it the ideal addition to any studio. Display modes: Single, Stereo (Input1L-INPUT1R, Input1L - Input2L, Input2L - Input2R), 4ch?XY(Lissajous, 2ch) Behringer has wasted no time in announcing faithful clones of the Sequential Prophet VS (appearing as the Pro VS Soul), the Oberheim OB (appearing in monophonic form as the UB-1 Spirit) , the Roland Jupiter-8 (appearing as the Saturn), Moog Minimoog (appearing as the Model D Soul), Roland JP-8000 (appearing as the JP-4000 Spirit), and the Korg Monotribe (appearing in a new synth 'inspired by' the original unit, the Hirotribe Soul). Finally, there's the big B's take on the EMS VCS3 which was one of the first portable synths. However, compared to Behringer's AKS Soul it’s a giant.

Covers the basic concepts of each component and parameter including oscillators, LFOs, envelope generators, sequencing and more The contents of book sold by BJOOKS and the book that will be included in KORG’S Bundle are exactly the same however the book cover is slightly different cosmetically (the one included in the bundle has a metallic finish).

Features

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. Meet Korg artists and explore their musical relationship with semi-modular Korg synths. Discover their creative processes, glean useful tips, and be inspired by their integrations with other gear. Go beyond owner’s manuals The J-6 Chord Synthesizer is arguably a more curious proposition - it blends a Juno-60 synth engine (presumably the same one as you’ll find in the Boutique JU-60a) with a chord sequencer. 100 chord sets are included, with each enabling you to trigger chords and create progressions using the built-in keyboard. You can also dial in variations (arpeggios and guitar-style playing, for example). Of course, you could just use the J-6 as a synth though beyond choosing the sound itself, editing is limited to filter and envelope controls.
