Building on the original NTS-1, the mkII introduces a new 18-key multitouch keyboard, an 8-step sequencer, increased processing power, expanded MIDI connectivity and a wider selection of oscillators and effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the Korg NTS-1 mkII?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact DIY digital synthesizer and multi-effects processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 18-key multitouch keyboard for playing and sequencing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in 8-step sequencer with live and step recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded oscillator, modulation, delay and reverb effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C, MIDI IN\/OUT and SYNC IN\/OUT for easy integration with other gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful digital synthesis engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NTS-1 mkII features an upgraded processor and a flexible synthesis engine built around a VCO, multimode filter, envelope generator and three LFOs. The increased processing power allows for new oscillator types and more complex sound processing, giving you plenty of scope for creating everything from leads and basses to unusual textures and experimental sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e18-key multitouch keyboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA new \u003cstrong\u003e18-key multitouch keyboard\u003c\/strong\u003e replaces the ribbon-style controller found on the original NTS-1. It provides more precise control when playing the synth and supports polyphonic MIDI note messaging, making the mkII more capable as both a standalone instrument and a controller within a larger setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-in 8-step sequencer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated \u003cstrong\u003e8-step sequencer\u003c\/strong\u003e provides both live and step recording modes, with individual control over note velocity and gate length. An autosave function preserves your settings, making it easy to return to your sequences and ideas during future sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExpanded modulation and effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NTS-1 mkII includes an extensive collection of built-in effects covering modulation, delay and reverb. Modulation options include Chorus, Ensemble, Phaser, Flanger, Soft Clip, Hard Clip, Sine Fold and Fuzz, allowing the unit to work as much more than a standalone synthesizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn external \u003cstrong\u003e3.5mm stereo audio input\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you process other instruments and audio sources through the NTS-1 mkII. Incoming audio can also be incorporated into FM, AM and ring modulation, opening up further possibilities for experimental sound design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMIDI and sync connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpanded connectivity makes the NTS-1 mkII easy to incorporate into hardware-based music setups. Separate \u003cstrong\u003eMIDI IN and MIDI OUT\u003c\/strong\u003e connections are provided alongside SYNC IN and SYNC OUT, while MIDI CC support across most parameters provides greater control from external sequencers and controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA USB-C connection provides power and further integration with compatible equipment, replacing the older USB connection of the original model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom oscillators and effects with logueSDK\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinctive features of the NTS-1 mkII is its support for Korg's \u003cstrong\u003eopen-source logueSDK\u003c\/strong\u003e. Users and developers can create and load custom oscillators and effects, allowing the instrument's sound engine to be expanded beyond its factory configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe open DIY design also allows more adventurous users to customise the hardware itself, with schematics and development resources available for creating personalised modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact DIY design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a kit, the NTS-1 mkII is designed to be assembled by the user, adding a hands-on element to the experience before you even start making sounds. Once assembled, its compact \u003cstrong\u003e129 × 78 × 39mm\u003c\/strong\u003e footprint and 122g weight make it easy to add to a desktop synthesizer setup or take with you for portable music making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic musicians and synthesizer enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact desktop and portable music setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware sequencing and MIDI-based setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessing external instruments with effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModular and sync-based electronic music setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound designers wanting expandable oscillators and effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusicians interested in DIY and customisable synthesizer hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310889922638,"sku":"DDJ6841","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/files\/korg-nts-1-mk2-top.jpg?v=1789131562","url":"https:\/\/www.thediscdjstore.com\/products\/korg-nu-tekt-nts-1-digital-mkii","provider":"The Disc DJ Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
