Putting the Fun in Synth Fundamentals
Few things are as fun as diving headfirst into audio synthesis. That said, without knowledge of the basics, dialing in different sounds can be a major challenge. Korg's Nu:tekt NTS-2 DIY Oscilloscope Kit aims to tackle this predicament head-on by combining a multi-function 4-channel oscilloscope with a handy book to guide your synth journey. The NTS-2 adapts the common oscilloscope by including an FFT/spectrum analyzer, a wave generator, and a tuner, adding a level of flexibility and expanding functionality in ways that excel in modern studios. Whether you're a complete novice or a synthesis sage, Korg's Nu:tekt NTS-2 DIY Oscilloscope Kit makes learning fun, exciting, and inspirational.

The NTS-2: more than just an oscilloscope
Though branded as a 4-channel oscilloscope, the NTS-2 packs a few extra functions into its pint-sized enclosure to make it a must-have studio tool for the studio. A pair of stereo inputs allow for analysis of up to four sound sources at a time, with several display modes available and in full color courtesy of a clean and clear 2.8-inch LCD screen. Dive deeper into the NTS-2, and its FFT (Fast Fourier transform)/spectrum analyzer is sure to please — Sweetwater synthesists were elated to see a dedicated FFT onboard with a real-time spectrum analyzer, features normally found in external, expensive pieces of gear yet packaged perfectly in the NTS-2. In addition, the NTS-2 doubles as a fully functional wave generator, with two oscillators pumping out sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and noise waveforms, all of which are editable to match any setting or project. Rounding out the offerings is a tuner function, delivering the same incredible precision found in Korg tuners for decades.
