Nu:Tekt NTS-1 Digital Synth Kit

Excelente artículo pero llego con un pequeño corte en la cinta del circuito eléctrico de las teclas . No me quejo del producto ni de la paquetería ni de l entrega pero tuve la de malas que me toco a mi esa pieza . Me di cuenta cuando arme todo el kit y no sonó . Pido mi reembolso o el cambio por otro igual pero ya sin pieza defectuosa . Mi conclusión es que no duden en comprar pero chequenlo bien antes de armarlo

A lot of fun and sound in this little synth. Great for a beginner, I would recommend getting a midi adapter though and using it with a keyboard. The keyboard strip is not the best way to play it, but will do in a pinch.

こんなに小さくても高性能なシンセサイザー。 エフェクターとしても使える。

Este cacharrín es una pequeña maravilla que puede dar mucha vida a tu setup DAWless, a otros sintes, cajas de ritmo o incluso tu guitarra eléctrica. Tiene una entrada de audio estereo de 3.5mm y puedes poner efectos de reverb, delay y modulación a lo que quieras, y aplicar los 3 de forma simultánea. Es muy divertido de usar. Y por si fuera poco, hay muchos efectos de terceros que puedes meter a través del software de KORG. Recomiendo mucho el Cathedral Reverb. Aparte de eso es un sintetizador digital monofónico y tiene bastantes posibilidades para sacar sonidos interesantes. Y al igual que con los efectos, puedes añadir osciladores de terceros gracias a su entorno de desarrollo opensource llamado logueSDK Me lo compré para añadir efectos a un volca sample2 y por añadir otro sonido de sinte. Pero también lo veo como un punto de entrada muy interesante para aprender programación DSP y crear efectos y osciladores custom. Divertido, compacto y con un sonido genial, lo recomiendo al 200%

It’s 2021, the silicon shortage is still impacting all areas and you can’t buy a graphics card or a car for a sensible price. Not a great year. The Korg NTS-1 has been out for a couple of years now but what’s remarkable is it’s still available for its original retail price. Buy one now before it goes up in price or becomes available. What you get for the price is almost unbelievable. Yes you build it (screw it together, no soldering required) yourself. Yes it’s monophonic. Yes it’s digital. Yes it looks like a toy with its skeletal design and tiny ribbon keyboard. But none of that matters. What you’re buying is an expandable, open-sourced synthesiser with a phenomenal effects unit capable of processing external audio, possibly making it the audio bargain of the decade. Thanks to the open-source design the downloadable librarian software allows you add new third-party oscillators, modulators, delays and reverbs, and if that’s not enough you can create your own. Out of the box and powered up for the first time it sounds like it looks. As basic as a square wave. And then moments later you’re listening to a rich, expansive sound that belies its looks and price. It’s far more fully featured than you’d guess with a comprehensive MIDI implementation allowing external parameter control via CC. It only features a single MIDI-IN via 3.5mm jack but this is sufficient for a sound module at the end of a chain. Sync-in and out ports are present for compatibility with analogue equipment and it’s an obvious choice for any Volca owner. There’s a micro-USB port for power and unlike the Volcas there’s no provision for batteries so you’ll need a USB power bank, USB 5v mains adapter/charger or a computer. The USB port allows uploading/downloading sounds and effects, as mentioned, but it also acts as a USB MIDI interface alongside the 3.5mm input socket. No USB audio I/O but that’s not a problem. As a stand-alone device it’s a capable monophonic synth with great effects which absolutely transform and lift the sound, but it’s big selling point for many will be that effects section. I’ve already mentioned the Korg Volca series a couple of times but the NTS-1 is a no-brainer for any Volca owner, especially the Volca Keys. It works with any audio souce though and there are a range of input attenuation settings available in the global options, just another example of how feature-packed the NTS-1 is. It’s a steal at the price.
