Multitouch keyboard
NTS-1 MkII boasts a 18-key multitouch keyboard, supplanting the ribbon controller from the first generation, for precise playing and sequencing. This upgrade unlocks the ability to send MIDI note messages polyphonically, opening the doors to custom oscillators and effects leveraging the paraphonic potential of NTS-1.
The center of your performance
In addition to a powerful arpeggiator, an added 8-step sequencer opens a whole new world of musical possibilities. With live and step recording modes (with per-note gate length and velocity settings) available in combination with its new keyboard and easy octave switch, NTS-1 MkII provides an intuitive and seamless performance experience. NTS-1 MkII takes the sting out of forgetting your creative sparks with its autosave function recalls all the parameters used in your last performance, including the step sequencer data, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Powerful engine, sounds and effects
NTS-1 MkII is an extremely powerful, flexible and fun-to-explore synth. While retaining the versatile features of its predecessor, this iteration adds an array of new sounds including new oscillator types and modulation possibilities, using its Audio IN signal as a modulation source to create FM, AM or RING sounds. NTS-1 MkII is also an incredibly capable and expandable effects unit. MkII adds many new Modulation (distortion, fuzz), Delay (tape delay, BPM synced delays) and Reverb effects, as well as handy oscillator OFF and Filter THRU functions, making it a uniquely versatile piece of gear that will cover all your needs at home or on stage.
Expanded connectivity
Integrating NTS-1 MkII is easier than ever. In addition to the SYNC IN/OUT and MIDI IN, Korg added MIDI OUT for seamless connection and expanded performance possibilities with other gear. On top of that, most parameters on NTS-1 MkII have been made MIDI CC-compatible for deeper control. It is also now powered via USB-C.
Even more DIY fun
NTS-1 MkII retains the DIY kit format from the original and offers new customization options with reversible anodized silver and metallic black side panels. And don’t worry, Korg kept the same form factor and dimensions as its predecessor, meaning custom sides, stands and other custom parts will still fit.
A more powerful LogueSDK
Powered by a new chip, NTS-1 MkII has expanded processing power, making complex effects and oscillators more possible than ever before. A revised development API is available for LogueSDK developers on Github.
Korg Kontrol Editor
NTS-1 MkII's dedicated Korg Kontrol Editor is a user-friendly and completely free tool available for Mac and Windows that allows you to not only easily manage all of your custom LogueSDK effects and plug-ins, but also an indispensable tool to sync NTS-1 MkII to your computer and recall up to 100 memory states on the fly, allowing you to recall your favorite patches instantly, anytime you need them.
