The NTS-2 kit and the book “PATCH & TWEAK with KORG” were designed and developed to complement each other, explaining not only the fundamental knowledge, but also giving the necessary tools to guide and inspire synthesizer enthusiasts in their musical journey.
The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 is a multifunctional tool for musicians to assemble. Backed by a 4-channel oscilloscope that facilitates monitoring and analysis of audio and control voltage signals, the NTS-2 also includes a flexible waveform generator and spectrum analyzer, as well as tuning features that make it the perfect addition to any studio.
“PATCH & TWEAK with KORG” is the latest title in the “PATCH & TWEAK” series from the renowned publisher Bjooks. It is a comprehensive guide to semi-modular synthesis and the music it inspired, presented with a focus on the MS-20 Mini, the revolutionary volca modular, the reimagined ARP 2600 M, and the SQ-1 and SQ-64 sequencers. Dozens of tutorials, tips and tricks cover everything from the basics to advanced sound design methods. Interviews with famous and emerging artists, insights from KORG and ARP engineers, and detailed timelines of KORG synthesizers and legendary ARP keyboards make this book a must-have for any synthesizer enthusiast.
