Korg NTS-1 Digital MKII Synth

As part of the Nu:Tekt series, the Korg NTS-1 Digital MKII is a DIY synthesizer and effect kit designed for musicians, producers, and creatives. With a powerful engine and enhanced features, this compact, portable synth is perfect for custom creation and exploration.

Equipped with a new 18-key multitouch keyboard, the NTS-1 Digital MKII offers fun playability and sequencing options. The dynamic 8-step sequencer, alongside live and step recording modes, invites deeper exploration into creative musical adventures. The new MIDI OUT port also enables seamless integration with other MIDI devices.

The Korg NTS-1 Digital MKII features an upgraded sound engine with fresh modulation effects and oscillator variations, enabling broad sonic exploration. The included FX section delivers top-level modulation, delay, and reverb options to add depth and richness to your sounds.

Thanks to its DIY build, the NTS-1 Digital MKII includes reversible anodised silver and metallic black side panels, allowing complete customisation. Powered by the upgraded Logue-SDK, its advanced processing capabilities enable complex effects and oscillators to be crafted.

Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator

An 8-step sequencer and arpeggiator take your performances and creations to new heights. The sequencer features live and step recording modes with individual note gate lengths and velocity settings. When paired with the multitouch keyboard and easy octave switch, this Korg mini synth opens up limitless possibilities for creating unique soundscapes.

Fully Playable 18-note Multitouch Keyboard

The newly upgraded 18-key multitouch keyboard replaces the ribbon controller from the previous generation, offering precision play and reliable sequencing. Now, MIDI note messages can be sent polyphonically, allowing full exploration of custom oscillators and effects that utilise the Korg NTS-1's sonic potential to its fullest.

Upgraded Engine, Sounds, and FX

The NTS-1 Digital MKII introduces a wide range of new sounds and tones. With new oscillator types and modulation options, you can use the Audio IN signal as a modulation source to create FM, AM, or RING sounds.

It also includes an expanded selection of modulation effects, such as distortion and fuzz, as well as delay and BPM-synced delays. Additional features like the oscillator OFF and Filter THRU functions make it perfect for studio, stage, or rehearsal use.

Autosave Capabilities

Say goodbye to the worry of forgetting knob adjustments and pattern changes. The NTS-1 mkII's autosave feature recalls all your settings, including step sequencer data, from your last performance. This means you can continue where you left off without the frustration of losing any creative ideas.

Complete Connectivity

Connecting the NTS-1 mkII to your setup is simpler than ever. In addition to the SYNC IN/OUT and MIDI IN ports, it now includes a MIDI OUT output for smooth connectivity and expanded performance possibilities with other devices.

Many parameters on the NTS-1 mkII are MIDI CC compatible, offering enhanced control over your sound. Powered via USB-C, it ensures a convenient and hassle-free experience.
