Korg - Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital Synth Kit

Product Information

The NTS‑1 has a single monophonic digital oscillator, a multi-mode digital filter, a multi-mode envelope, three LFOs, three stereo effect processors, a multi-mode arpeggiator and a teeny tiny keyboard. As for the array, ah, it starts from zero, right? For that reason, this is reset to zero, to avoid an unwanted crash in case we get to the number represented by BUFFER_LEN. As I wrote last time, this condition can be written in different ways. We’ve standardized it this time so that the conditions are met when reaching or exceeding the value. You should note that the NTS-1 won’t break if the software crashes, so don’t worry about making mistakes!

The “rate” variable is used for the main processing, which is why I’ve explained this function first. This time, we use just the knob A data, so the contents of “valf” are stored in the “rate” variable when k_user_modfx_param_time (index name of knob A) data is received. The standard NTS-1 envelopes are quite short, even at their longest settings. If you want to use long 808-style subbasses and sizzling hihats:Out-of-the-box the oscillator can generate virtual analogue Sawtooth, Triangle and Square waves and VPM waveforms. Variable Phase Modulation (VPM) is Korg's take on FM synthesis found originally in the Prophecy and Z1. In the Prologue the VPM oscillator has 16 types whereas here we appear to have the one carrier/modulator algorithm. It starts with a really throaty sound and then clangs its way to crisper tones as you dial in the overtones. And then there's the last oscillator type which is the Custom/User Multi-Engine Oscillator/Effect engine widget, which we'll come to later.

For Linux, which is basically Unix, or macOS, which is based on Unix, you’ll be able to install using a bare minimum of tools. However, for Windows you’ll need an additional environment that can execute Unix commands. Simply put, MSYS2 is a platform for executing Unix commands on Windows. Because of this, if you’re developing with Windows and MSYS2, you’ll run your commands within the “MSYS2” window. When using 3rd party plugins on the NTS-1 please consult with the developer first as the content may sound differently than with minilogue xd or prologue based on polyphony. Korg warrants that the Licensed Program when properly used will provide the facilities and functions as described in the accompanying documentation but does not warrant that the operation of the Licensed Program will be uninterrupted or error-free.It’s just very playable.
