The NTS-1 is a GREAT Synth by Itself!

The NTS-1 is a GREAT Synth by Itself!

Today I'm back at the NTS-1 with a little recap on what makes it such an awesome standalone synth, especially for $119 US! While seemingly pretty simple, the actually sound design capabilities are quite deep once you factor in the effects section and any 3rd party content you may have installed on it. Be sure not to miss the modulation options as well, the LFO is pretty hidden but can do a lot for your patches! Enjoy the video :)

Wow! That cathedral reverb effect was so good!

[rayderrich]

As soon as you switched on the arp plus effects I was feeling why this NTS-1 has a place in this world. Wonderful.

[Delphinixa]

Hold down Reverb-knob to access the Dry/Wet level for the effects :)

[marcogargiulo]

seems like a good place to start learning about synths

[raymiller]

Love my NTS, even if purely for the cathedral reverb as my effects on my modular stuff. Need to spend some more time with the ARP, don't think I've touched even half the options there, thanks for showing them!

[marcthenarc]

Just realized how lazy I am for not diving more into menus like that. Gotta up my game. Thanks you for this presentation. 🙏

[walnawk]

This is awesome, love the budget synths!!!

[rathnapish]

Going back to mine. That jam ! Thanks for opening up the ARP options ...new to me.

[dreamstaticsounds]

Also, great job showing it off. I thought I knew all the options but I did not know about the scale options! Very cool!

[kengreen]

Such a great video, love this one.
So much help here for us.

Still remains the best budget gear I own and maybe ever will.

I miss using my NTS-1. I damaged mine trying to replace some knobs I put on it that turned out to be too small. It still works but when you're not using the knobs anything you still have selected will randomly change because of the damaged encoders. One of these days I'll buy another one.

[Niven]

I just bought one and it is insane. The downloadable oscillators😊 are amazing. There are even drum machines.

[mrgratis]

Thanks for uploading. Learned something new.

USB power should be available on all the volcas too. Great vid it sold me on this synth, I feel like it's been a bit overlooked

[synaesmedia]

That's great. Didn't know about the LFO!

[unclebuttonz]

In the height and heat of the summer, I took this out with me for walks, as I'd idly switch up and morph my groove.

Once you become familiar with its limited settings, it is easy to unleash its capabilities on the fly without the need to look at the unit.

My only gripe is that with enough wear and tear, I've needed to resolder the headphone jack as one of the channels came loose.

Impressive live session on arpeggiator

[wiggesobk]

Yes that little synth is so powerful! Do you plan to get the NTS-2 as well?

[hovermotion]

I think this channel is the best on YouTube for this device and many other devices, amazing content.
Only just recently got a Nts-1 and this has now take the place of my Microfreak which I.have sold on.
When the Nts is linked to a keystep 37 its even more stunning.
I have three dial knobs on the way to make fine tuning the three dials more accurate.
