Easy to assemble (took about 15 minutes). The tiny screws are a little fiddly, but that's the only complaint I had while putting it together. Has all the functionality I needed, and is a handy size that doesn't take up a huge amount of desk space like an old school oscilloscope.

Fantastic value. Tons of effects including 3rd party add ons. Clean signal path. I was truly surprised.

Easy to assemble and has a great range of sounds. Keyboard is tricky to play, but also fun to mess with.Great little piece of kit, I've been using it with my 1010 Blackbox sampler and its a match made in heaven... easy to carry and you can sketch out and lay down the bones of a track pretty much anywhere, anytime... which might just get me fired from my day job... :)

Etant un piètre bricoleur, je craignais un peu le montage de ce Korg NTS-1. C'est finalement très facile, et si j'y arrive, n'importe qui peut y arriver.Il n'y a que quelques pièces à monter, et si on suit attentivement la notice, rien de compliqué, le plus délicat étant la séparation des pièces et la pose du clavier autocollant. Le reste est affaire de vissage.Les fonctionnalités reprennent la partie "MULTI-ENGINE" des Korg Prologue et Minilogue XD. Les paramètres de bases (Shape, cutoff, résonnance ainsi que LFO) sont présents et fonctionnent parfaitement. Il propose plusieurs types de formes d'onde, SAW, SQUARE, TRIANGLE et VPM, et sur certaines, le potard B offrira un SUB pour alourdir le son. On peut y ajouter également des oscillateurs externes (USER) disponibles sur Internet à l'aide d'une prise MIDI (non fournie). Attention, il n'y a qu'un MIDI-IN, et pas de MIDI-OUT. Et si on ne peut pas sauvegarder ses sons, il existe un éditeur VST dédié au NTS-1 qui permet de le faire (je ne l'ai toutefois pas encore testé).On retrouve également dans la machine un arpeggiateur ainsi que des effets : de la modulation (Chorus, Ensemble, Phaser et Flanger), mais aussi des delays (stereo, mono, ping-pong) et des reverbs. Contrairement au Prologue, on peut combiner delay ET reverb. Les différentes reverbs comportent entre autre les fameuses "Submarine" et "Riser" qui sont tout simplement spectaculaires.Si on alimente le NTS-1 avec le câble USB branché dans un PC, le synthé va générer des bruits parasites assez forts qui empêcheront de travailler correctement. Mais à l'aide d'une batterie externe (voir photo), les bruits parasites disparaissent. Branché dans une carte son et sur des moniteurs de studio, on ne peut pas imaginer la taille de cet appareil tant il sonne bien ! La qualité est là et bien là. C'est bien plus qu'un simple gadget.Le NTS-1 est monophonique, ce qui signifie que vous ne pourrez jouer qu'une seule note à la fois. Ne comptez toutefois pas sur le clavier pour vous amuser. Il n'est pas fiable et pas précis. Pour tirer tout le parti du NTS-1, procurez-vous un câble MIDI et utilisez un clavier maître externe.Vraiment un très chouette petit synthé qui tient dans la paume de la main. Je suis ravi de mon achat.

L'ho acquistato perché di buona marca e dai video che ho visto mi ha colpito il suono, poi è anche piuttosto economico rispetto a tanti altri. Ebbene, la possibilità di creare suoni è davvero vastissima, alcuni inimmaginabili... e l'ho provata poco ma ho visto i pregi. Purtroppo (è per fortuna!) uscirà a brevissimo un modello più avanzato, per cui l'ho resa e acquisterò l'altra che è più completa, funzioni extra ed inoltre l'uscita MIDI. L'unica nota dolente dell'nts è che non è possibile salvare i pattern, una volta spenta è tutto perso. Certo, a meno che non ci si segni i vari percorsi ogni volta che si va in esplorazione... ma diventa un po' macchinoso e noioso. Però è fattibile. Oppure un esperto creatore di suoni. Questa lacuna sarà dovuta probabilmente ad una strategia di marketing, venderla come una sorta di "tester" come un profumo... se poi interessa si compra tutta la boccetta (magari qualcosa di più grosso). Cmq buon prodotto, anche nell'estetica, è affascinante. E i materiali, nonostante sia da assemblare, sono molto buoni. Insomma il marchio Korg è sempre una garanzia.

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

This was my third buy in the nts series by KORG. Fast shipment and a great product as expected. A bit pricey though.

Needs better oscillator and ADSR options. The popping sounds this synth makes when a key is triggered seem unavoidable at the moment, kind of a bummer but maybe some of the custom firmware will solve this issue. Same goes for the ADSR options, they are lacking and volume is either MAX or wildly inconsistent. I think there's a setting in the menu to limit velocity variation but I'd rather keep the range and have it be less strangely sensitive. The effects are pretty decent, again I'd like more support from creators but I feel greedy asking more of this fairly impressive device.

This is basically the "heart" of a very good synth -- just without any limbs or a brain.By the "heart" part, I mean this has a great range of sounds and effects, as well as a nice on-board sequencer. The sound is awesome. The price on this one is worth it for that alone.But by the "brain" part, I mean that you're gonna have to just write down or remember your settings to get that awesome range of sounds. No save function on individual settings that I'm seeing. However, with a small download from Korg, you can load other oscillator designs.And by the part about "limbs," I mean that the only way to control this "out-of-the-box" is an incredibly limited ribbon interface. Ordinarily, that would be fine. However, if you want options for a better controller, you'll have to use a digital audio workstation (which means you'll have to connect it to a laptop and car that around)......OR you can connect it to a physical MIDI keyboard controller. This part is kind of a nightmare. You can't control it with a MIDI device that connects through USB. You have to use an older 5-pin connected device AND ALSO find an adaptor to convert that 5-pin to the synth's oddball type of MIDI connection. There are YouTube videos that can help you with that. Just be prepared to really research it and then find a good MIDI controller that will work with this (I got one from Arturia).Anyway, bottom line is it sounds super cool. But to unlock all those supercool sounds and really use it as a viable instrument, be prepared to do some work.

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.
