Common NTS-1 digital kit Questions
How do I sync the NTS-1's sequencer to an external MIDI clock source like my DAW or another synth?
Connect the MIDI output of your master clock to the NTS-1's MIDI input. Then, in the Global settings (accessed by holding SHIFT while powering on), set 'MIDI Clock Source' to 'External'.
Where are the kits (combinations of oscillator, filter, and EG settings) saved and how do I manage them?
Kits are not saved directly on the NTS-1. You must save them as Program Change messages within your external MIDI sequencer or DAW for recall. The NTS-1 will respond to MIDI Program Change messages for kit selection.
How do I create a simple sequence on the NTS-1?
Enter sequencer mode (hold 'SHIFT' and press 'REC'). Use the keyboard to input notes, adjust their length by turning the encoder, and press 'PLAY' to start the sequence. Press 'REC' again to stop recording.
My NTS-1 isn't making any sound, even though the power is on and I have headphones plugged in. What could be the problem?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up. Also, double-check that the oscillator is enabled (Osc Enable in the oscillator settings) and that the filter cutoff is not completely closed.
What are the key features of the NTS-1's user-customizable digital oscillator, filter, and effects?
The NTS-1 allows for custom oscillators, filters, and effects to be loaded via Korg's logue-SDK, expanding the sound design possibilities beyond the factory presets. This is a unique feature allowing users to add community-developed or their own custom modules.
